Patty Has been reunited with her long lost brother/littermate! The family that adopted him has also taken Patty! Here are some pics of her and her brother. 
Peppermint Patty is a baby Lab mix just rescued from a WV kill shelter just in the nick of time. Her and her sister and 2 brothers were lucky and have foster parents around Baltimore taking good care of them.
She is a sweetheart, likes to play in the grass and enjoys laying on the front stoop sunbathing with her sister. She will become an Alpha dog if entered into a house with any subservient dogs.
We have exposed her to cats, children and other dogs; all with great success. If she is with her sister however, she will bark harmlessly at passing by dogs.
She is also food shy and will make noise if another dog other than her sister eats with her. We are trying to break her of this habit, but it seems she has always had to fight for her meals.She is crate trained already, and is working on walking with a leash and harness. She will whimper when she has to go out if in her crate, but starts sniffing around if allowed to run free in the house. With that said, I cannot say shes housebroken yet.
She enjoys chewing on toys, but already understands the words No and Leave It. We are also teaching her sign language along with her commands, in case she ends up with an owner that is deaf or disabled.
