My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Paterson's March weight is 45 lbs. Check the pictures and see what a handsome girl she became.
Like her siblings, she is a happy girl with a wiggling tail and playful energy.
Paterson is a little skittish, but she is ok once you hold her and show love.
She is fully vaccinated and microchipped.

Paterson is a fearful girl, like most of our dogs are, but with love and patience, they learn to trust, and they all are such wonderful dogs.
Paterson does feel safe and secure with her BFF, Sarah. They got bonded while waiting to find a home. And we will be more than happy if they could go together to the same home.

Paterson is being fostered in Texas and is ready to go to her new home in New Jersey.

Paterson is one of 9 puppies. born on August 23rd, 2023 to Dezzy.
Dezzy is a Catahoula/Cattle mix weighing about 80 lbs.
Dezzy came to us pregnant when her owner surrendered her to us.
