Can You Help Save Patty?
Patty is an old gal who probably gave her family years of unconditional love, in return she is now sitting in a shelter waiting to be euthanized. She was found wandering the streets and no one has come to claim her.
Patty’s time is up, if she doesn’t get a home immediately this beautiful girl won’t get a chance to live out her golden years.
This sweet old gal is sitting in an overcrowded and chaotic shelter, scared and confused as to how she got here. Patty came to the Humane Society of Greater Akron several weeks ago as a stray and no one has come looking for her. Now she sits, waiting to find what her future holds. This is where a kind hearted rescuer needs to step in!!! We need help for Patty!
She is a 10+ year old yellow lab and approx 65 lbs (she is not too thrilled we are revealing her weight to so many!!!!) She has been fully vaccinated, heartworm tested (negative), wormed, and up to date on flea and heartworm prevention. We do not believe her to be spayed. Due to moderate arthritis, she is on senior vitamins and joint supplements twice daily to help her feel better and move a little easier She also has some dental disease which may need future attention. Because her teeth are not the best, she is a huge fan of canned food…oh yes, and she also LOVES hotdogs as well!
This girl is low key as most of her days are filled with lounging around and getting plenty of beauty sleep. She is very fond of large fluffy dog beds/blankets and getting as much attention from humans as possible. Gets a little annoyed with other furry friends so this older gal would love to be spoiled and rule the roost as an only doggie! Her temperament with people is wonderfully loving.
It tears us apart to see her so scared and alone at our shelter. No one is adopting her and she deserves better than a noisy shelter kennel to live out the rest of her time on this earth. I am afraid she does not have much time left at our shelter before a decision may be made to euthanize her so WE MUST GET HER OUT ASAP!
Patty will be released to an approved and reputable rescue at no charge….we would just like to see her go somewhere safe that will give her a chance. A donation of wet food and a few extra comfy blankets will come with her of course!!! Any rescue interested, please contact me right away. Transport help is available.
Please call Shannon at 330-657-2010 ext 105 or email if you can help save Patty.

What a beautiful girl Patty is. If anyone out there would like to adopt her please contact Shannon right away, there is no time to waste.
Thank you for posting this story Horst and Lisa! I did recieve an additional email this AM stating that she has been getting better with other dogs as well. She may just be very stressed out at this time.
Horst and Lisa I remeber your story on Muttville in California and I sent them her story. Remember they only take take senior dogs. I’m sure she is really stressed and does not understand why her family has not missed her and came to claim her. I hope Muttville can help. Barbara, Nashville, TN
with your permission, I will post her on my blog, as well. I pray she finds her new home, soon.
Hey, my name is Allison Kay and I started two websites. One: http://www.thepitbullproject.weebly.com.
Two: http://www.stopdogfights.weebly.com. If you don’t mind me asking, can you visit there and leave a comment. I would really appreciate it. I love dogster by the way.
We submitted a dog a while back, Peanut. Sadly, she passed away. She will be missed and loved. Love your dogs for as long as you have them.
I don’t see her on the HS of Akron website. is this because she’s only available to a rescue or because she’s already been saved?
Is there any update on Patty? I emailed Muttville and they refered me to a senior rescue in Cleveland, but they are full and because she does not get along with other dogs, could not take her. If I did not have three and such a small place I’d take her. I also emailed my network to see if they can help. Hope she gets saved.
Thanks for all of the crossposting guys! I have sent an email to Shannon to see if anyone stepped up – I will post here when I find out any info.
Update: Patty has been given a little more time, not much, so she still desperately needs a home. If anyone is interested please contact Shannon.
I got a response from Shannon. Patty has been given more time!! Shannon has been getting slammed with a lot of emails about her though, so the prognosis looks good!!! Thanks again to Horst and Lisa for posting her story, and to all of you for crossposting!
