Patita is a lovable 3-year-old Frenchie with a big personality packed into a compact little body! This sweet girl is equal parts playful and snuggly—she’s just as happy chasing a ball or playing tug-of-war as she is curling up in your lap for some quality cuddle time.
Patita thrives on being with her people and will happily follow you from room to room, always ready for the next adventure… or nap. She absolutely loves car rides, making her the perfect co-pilot for errands or weekend outings.
She’s a smart cookie, too! Patita already knows commands like sit, come, kennel/crate, outside, and quiet, and since she’s very treat-motivated, she’s eager to keep learning more.
Patita is both leash trained and crate trained, making her an easy addition to a home that can continue building on her great foundation.
While Patita has so many wonderful qualities, she’s still working through a couple things. She can show some resource guarding and tends to be reactive toward larger dogs, both in person and even on TV. Because of this, she would do best as the only dog or in a home experienced with managing these behaviors. She prefers to be the star of the show! Patita does have an old eye injury that makes her eye a bit cloudy. At present, there is nothing to be done, as it has healed. Down the road, she may need meds or medical attention, but nothing as of now!
Her playful enthusiasm can sometimes lead to zoomies and excitement, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids would be the best fit.
Patita’s ideal home is one that will embrace her fun-loving spirit—think games of fetch, tug-of-war, and lots of time spent together. In return, you’ll get an affectionate, loyal companion who just wants to love and be loved.
If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky little companion who will keep you smiling and always be by your side, Patita might just be your perfect match
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
Bulldogs, pugs, and Boston terriers, Brussels Griffons, Pekingese and others are a member of the Brachycephalic breed and therefore have a host of health issues that may arise. Because these dogs are new into our rescue, health issues in the future may arise that we are not aware of. Some of these issues are allergies, eye issues, yeast infections, interdigital cysts, slipped disks in their back, breathing problems, among a host of others that can occur at any time or when seasons change. While breed experience is not required, we encourage you to thoroughly research the breed and its financial, medical, and environmental needs to be sure this breed is a good fit for you and your family. It is estimated that the average brachycephalic breed owner spends $2,000 per year on medical needs. In addition to other surgeries, this dog may have had surgery on their nares and soft palate to improve the quality of their breathing. This will be partially reflected within her adoption fee.
These breeds are one of the most expensive dogs to own, maintain, and rescue and our adoption fees reflect such expenses. The application process for these breeds usually moves quite quickly as they are a popular breed, so we ask that adopters do research and be prepared for adoption at the time you submit your application. They are happy, goofy, playful characters and we are excited you are taking the first steps into rescuing one!
This dog requires a separate application and an application fee. This fee must be paid within 24 hours or your application will be considered void. We will not review or contact applicants that have not completed the payment portion. This dog requires a Bulldog Application. All applications will be responded to within 5 business days, after receipt of the application fee. Please understand that paying the fee does not guarantee you will be approved to adopt the bulldog. Our goal is place bulldogs in homes that are suited for their individual needs. You may be willing and able to provide a great home, but if it doesn’t meet the specific needs of the bulldog, we will not approve your application.
