Pati

Pati’s name means “paw” in Turkish — and it couldn’t be more fitting. Offering his paw is his sweetest way of saying I love you, and it perfectly captures his affectionate, loyal nature.

Pati’s story began as a stray puppy, but luck turned when he was taken into a home where he grew up surrounded by love — living with a young child and four cats. Those early years taught him to be gentle and adaptable. Unfortunately, life changed again, and he spent the last three years in a crowded dog sanctuary. Despite all this, Pati’s heart has remained soft and open — he’s ready to love again, this time forever.

Outdoors, Pati is a joyful adventurer. Walks are the highlight of his day, and nothing excites him more than a game of fetch — retrieving a ball is his absolute favorite pastime. He also enjoys using his nose for scent games. With other dogs he is polite and calm, happy to share space and exchange gentle greetings. Occasionally, a sudden movement (like a rabbit darting by or a bird taking flight) can spark his natural chase instinct, but with guidance he redirects beautifully.

Indoors, Pati shows his easygoing side. He’s relaxed, quiet, and happiest napping near his people. He’s comfortable being left alone for several hours, and when you return, he’ll be right there waiting with love to give.

Recently, Pati worked with a trainer who praised him as bright, food-motivated, and eager to learn. What he needs most now is a family who enjoys training and can patiently help him build confidence. After years in a noisy sanctuary, unfamiliar places or new sounds can still make him pause — but with reassurance, he quickly adapts. Watching him grow braver each day will be one of the most rewarding parts of welcoming him into your life.

Pati’s perfect match is someone who:
• Enjoys training and bonding with their dog
• Has patience and kindness to help him feel secure
• Wants a loyal, affectionate shadow and adventure buddy

Pati has waited a long time for this chance. In return for your patience and love, he’ll give you devotion, cuddles, and a paw that always says, “I’m yours.”

Could you be the one to finally give Pati his forever home?
