I’m Patty, a focus-attempting Gen X mom wrangling the delightful mayhem of life alongside my two impossibly cute rescue pups, Zeke and Zella. With a late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and being on the ASD spectrum, I not-so-gracefully dance through life with a neurodivergent perspective, often feeling like an undelightful square peg in a round hole in a world that doesn't get me. I've got firsthand experience with the ups and downs that our journeys throw at us.

You’ll often find my world adorned with sticky notes—yes, they cover almost every available surface in my home, office, and car’s instrument panel! They serve as my trusty reminders, little bursts of inspiration, and, sometimes, my only line of defense against the whirlwind of thoughts that dance through my mind. My coffee cup is never far away, fueling my quest to make a meaningful impact.

Since childhood, I’ve had an unwavering love for advocating for underdogs—specifically humans and dogs who often slip through society's cracks unnoticed. This fiery dedication has been my compass and keeps fueling my mission daily! I firmly believe that making a genuine impact on the lives of those who feel unheard starts with one courageous individual speaking out. Once others hear that call, they'll rush to their own mountaintops to join the chorus of voices demanding change!

At Zeke Squad, I aim to unleash awareness surrounding important issues about dogs, the humans who love them, and their allies. I’m particularly passionate about raising awareness around canine cancer, bully breed discrimination, and other dog-centric issues that often go unnoticed. Our furry friends are more than just pets; they are vital members of our families and communities. Through education, advocacy, and heartfelt storytelling, I aim to shine a light on these challenges, fostering a deeper understanding and compassion for all-including those of us with differently wired brains.

Through awareness messaging on social channels and our message-packed merch, we delve into the intersections of misfit humans and beloved pups, creating a space for everyone who feels like they don't quite fit the mold. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of pet ownership, embracing neurodiversity, or simply trying to find your place in this fast-paced world, I hope you find a sense of belonging here. Join me on this journey, where we celebrate our quirks, share our stories, and uplift one another.
