This beautiful blonde girl is Patty, and she’s been waiting far too long—3 years—for someone to take a chance on her. 💔 But we’re not giving up, and neither is she. Patty has so much love to give and is more than ready to be someone’s loyal companion. 🐾 Patty’s Perfect Match: • People lover: Great with kids and adults • Dog selective: Best with a calm, easy-going dog or as your one-and-only • No cats/small animals: She has a strong prey drive • Independent & playful: Will fetch a toy or happily entertain herself • Protective instincts: Has a solid bark and will alert you when needed 🌟 Why Patty Is a Hidden Gem: • ✅ Housebroken • ✅ Crate trained • ✅ Knows basic commands • ✅ Excellent house manners • 🚗 Rides like a dream in the car • ☀️ Loves sunbathing, walks, toys, and just being your sidekick Patty isn’t aggressive—she just has a big personality and likes to be the boss. She wants to play with other dogs but sometimes forgets to take a hint when they need a break. With structure and guidance, she thrives. 🐶 Why Choose Patty? Older dogs like Patty deserve love just as much as puppies—if not more. She’s past the puppy chaos, fully trained, and still has so much life and joy to share. Patty is loyal, playful, and full of heart. 💖 Please don’t overlook this golden girl. After 3 years in rescue, Patty is still waiting, still hoping.

Adoption Process

At Sauver Des Chiens, adoptions are what allow us to keep moving forward. With each adoption, you are not only saving the life of the pet you’re adopting, but the life of the pet that can take it’s place. The adoption process may be tedious, but it’s to ensure that we’re properly matching dogs with compatible households. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Fostering a companion dog

Fosters are a critical part of our efforts at Sauver Des Chiens.
We do not have a facility, so we cannot take a dog in without an available foster home.  Without you, a dog’s chance of finding their forever home would not be possible. As a Sauver Des Chiens foster we welcome your input, and if you are just taking in your first foster we are here for you as you embark on this wonderful journey.
