About Patty

  • Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Cross
  • Female
  • Good with children
  • 1 year
  • Can live with other dogs
  • Pukekohe Adoption and Education Centre

Personality:

 

Patty is a big, solid girl with a heart that is just as lovely as her build is strong. She has a really nice, easygoing nature and is a great all rounder, taking most things in her stride. Underneath that sturdy exterior she is still finding her confidence, so she will really benefit from a home that can gently guide her and help her feel safe and secure as she grows. She enjoys being around her people, has a sweet affectionate side, and with a bit of encouragement you will see her personality continue to blossom into something truly special.

 

Tamariki – 10+ as she is still a bit shy.
Cats – Not yet assessed.

Kūri – Friendly but a bit socially awkward, further socialisation required.
Stock/poultry – Untested.
Size – Currently 21.4kgs and is fully grown.

 

Ideal home:

Patty is looking for a home with experience in handling large dogs who understand strength and how to channel it positively. She can be strong on lead at times but responds well to guidance and will thrive with someone consistent and confident. Ongoing training, clear boundaries, and continued socialisation will help her become the best version of herself. She would absolutely love a well matched doggy sibling to learn from and play with, and a home that is ready to invest time, patience, and love into helping her shine.

Big girl, soft heart, just waiting for someone to believe in her and take her home 💛
