My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

There are dogs that stand out. That are just amazing. That people were unkind to.  We do our best to help them get over their previous trauma. He is a special guy and once he steals your heart he will never let go.

Meet Sweet Potato!

Sweet Potato and his sister, Cranberry Sauce, were found in the country on their own; alone and scared these two sweet siblings were trying desperately to survive.

A wonderful good Samaritan could not leave them and decided to save them and help them find a new life where they would be safe and loved. She was able to safely secure and care for them but owners were never located. The kind Samaritan reached out to Legacy Humane Society for help finding them loving forever homes. 

Sweet Potato loves to play with other dogs, and shares his favorite stuffed toys with anyone that will play with him.

He is an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix, with beautiful soft black curly hair and speckled  socks, He is sweet, smart and cuddly, he loves attention and belly rubs and has a very calm energy.

Sweet Potato is crate trained, sleeps through the night in his crate like an angel, and is doing excellent on house training.

He is working on leash training and rides excellent in the car for adventures.

Sweet Potato would be great in a home with other dogs, cats and kids.

If you think he might be the piece of your heart and family that is missing and are looking to add a forever family member to your home, please complete an application on our website and his foster mom will be in touch.

Please complete an adoption application and someone will reach out to you within 48 hours via email.  https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoptfoster/adoption-application/

$275 donation includes vaccines, de-wormer, a one-year rabies vaccine, microchip and registration, and neuter.

Additional adoption info

Adopters will complete an adoption app. If he/she has a pet, we will check their vet reference and a home visit is not needed (as long as the vet reference is current). All pets must be up to date current on Heartworm prevention and S/N. If a home visit is needed, we will complete that ASAP--as we don't want any delays in the adoption process. The adoption fees are listed here: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/adoption-fees/. There is a 5-day grace period to make sure he/she is a good fit for your family. A full refund will be issued if the pet is returned within the 5-day trial period. Before you chose to adopt, check out this link for a few items to consider before making this big step: https://legacyhumanesociety.org/are-you-ready-to-adopt/
