Story
Meet Patty Melt!Patty Melt is a lovable, 3-year-old Shar Pei/Lab mix with the most endearing wrinkled face! Weighing in at 35 pounds, she is still working on gaining some healthy weight but is expected to stay within the medium size range once fully filled out.This sweet girl is fully house-trained! She tried her hand at crate training, but soon decided that it made her feel more anxious than relaxed. She’s been doing better free roaming when her foster family isn’t home, but protect your mail because she has a tendency to shred paper! She is improving, but she would thrive in a home where her humans can see her periodically throughout the day.Patty is friendly with other dogs and enjoys their company but hasn’t had the chance to meet any cats yet. While she hasn’t been introduced to children, she has a gentle and calm demeanor and has been friendly with everyone she’s met so far. Her foster family reports that she’s enjoyed everyone she’s met so far!Patty has a unique, adorable personality that will quickly win you over. She’s not the biggest ‘lay on your lap’ cuddler, however she loves being close to her people and being part of whatever action is happening at the time. One of her cutest quirks is how she falls asleep almost instantly—sometimes in the funniest positions! She enjoys walks, chasing squirrels, and playing with her beloved stuffed bear. She can entertain herself but has proven to adore playtime with her people! While she doesn’t need a fenced yard, an active owner who takes her on hikes and/or adventures would be ideal.Overall, Patty Melt is a sweet, chill, and affectionate girl who just wants to be loved. She has so much love to give in return and is looking for a patient, caring forever home that will help her continue to gain confidence and feel secure. Could she be the perfect fit for your family?https://pethavenmn.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/dog-adoption-application/The adoption fee is $450.
