BABYLON, NY — In the heartwarming spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, a young and vibrant canine named Patty graced the Babylon Animal Shelter with her presence. Patty, the latest addition to Patch’s Pet of the Week series, is a sweet and sociable dog who has captured the hearts of shelter staff and volunteers alike.
Getting to Know Patty

Her friendly demeanor is evident as she walks nicely on a leash and obeys basic commands. Patty’s love for companionship extends beyond her own species, making her an excellent fit for families with other dogs or children.
A Dog’s Heartfelt Story at the Shelter
Christine Franke, a longtime shelter volunteer, shared her sentiments about Patty, “Patty is sweet and friendly to all. She is just so playful and dog friendly. When she gets time out of her kennel, her smile will warm your heart and her big and bright personality matches that awesome smile.” Shelter life can be challenging for dogs like Patty, who long for the comfort and love of a forever family.
How You Can Make a Difference
