My story

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

Sweet Potato breaks our hearts. She’s a barker in her cage, but it’s all for show. She starts off shy, but once she trusts you, she really warms up. Sweet Potato is so skinny. It was pretty cold the day we met her, and she wanted nothing to do with the outside. So inside we went. There was a dog bed in our inside area, and Sweet Potato went right to it and got comfortable. It was so nice to see her relax, close her eyes for a bit because she was comfortable and safe.Sweet Potato takes treats gently and likes her neck rubbed. We want the best family to take care of this little girl for the rest of her life. Let’s make that happen for her.

Came in as a stray on 11/27/24
