Patti

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Please say a warm welcome back to our beautiful Patti , unfortunately this gorgeous girl has been brought back into our care. Patti is such a lovely girl, she is a typical pocket bully that loves to cuddle and play. She loves having her butt scratched and will sit in your lap like she’s not the size of a giant potato! Patti was said to be great at travelling in the car, and she has had a few trips to collar club where she had the best time. Patti has been fine with other dogs out and about, but isn’t too bothered about having them as her close pals . Her previous owners said she has been left for up to three hours with no issues too. Patti was unfortunately brought back to us as she showed to instances of worry, she had nipped someone when visiting them in their house- Patti can be slightly nervous on first meets and this needs to be taken slowly. The other instance was one after an ear cleaning attempt, Patti currently is dealing with an ear infection which she is on medication and ear cleaner. They can be very sore to touch and she struggles with the cleaner, however she is working with the behaviour team with this and making great improvements, we have not seen any other instances of snapping. Patti loves going out on walks with our volunteers , she plods along like the happiest girl in the world and loves taking all the sights and smells in . She would be a great adventure buddy for someone. Patti is looking for an adult only home that can give her all the love and affection she needs, she is currently needing a pet free home too. Could you be Patti’s forever family?

About Patti

What life with Patti looks like

Patti is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Cardiff Dogs Home.

A young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Patti, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Patti?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Cardiff Dogs Home handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Patti on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Patti if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Cardiff Dogs Home will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Patti already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Patti isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Cardiff Dogs Home early rather than rehoming privately; they know Patti and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
