Here's the latest update from Sweet Potato's foster mom:
Sweet Potato and Drumstick are a happy pair! They find comfort in each other, but also play hard together! Sometimes they prefer to share a bed. They are an active pair, but they also like their down time.
They are working on their house training, which is going reasonably, but requires more persistence yet. They both do their business promptly when they go outside, but have occasional accidents, especially when excited.
Both of them have settled into the pack at our house. They are well socialized and seem to understand the social cues from the other dog, though they are persistent in trying to make new friends!
Sweet Potato is ready to find her forever home. She's won her foster family's hearts and they will be sad to see her go, but will be happy knowing she's found her new, life-long companions!
Sweet Potato and Drumstick want to give everyone some love! They love people and also love playing together. They crave attention, belly rubs, and snuggles. So sweet!
They do have a clue about potty training. A few accidents, but they have also gone to the door and immediately did their business when let out.
ABOUT Sweet Potato:
Background: Sweet Potato embarked on an incredible journey from a high-kill shelter in rural southwest Virginia to a brighter future with Homeward Trails. She made this courageous journey with her equally charming brother, Drumstick, both of whom were determined to leave behind a difficult past and find loving forever homes.
Physical Appearance: Sweet Potato is a heart-meltingly cute pup with all the endearing traits of a baby puppy. Her stunning eyes radiate with a gentle curiosity, and her soft, floppy ears frame her expressive face perfectly. SP's coat is a harmonious blend of markings, making her look gorgeous!
Personality: Sweet Potato is a gentle and affectionate soul with a heart full of love to give. Despite her challenging start in life, she has an incredibly sweet disposition. She loves spending time with her human companions, offering plenty of cuddles, playful energy, and a warm presence.
Social Behavior: Sweet Potato is not just a loving companion but also a wonderful friend to other dogs. Sweet Potato is equally friendly with humans, and she has a knack for making everyone feel cherished and valued.
Training and Development: Sweet Potato is at the perfect age for learning and growing. She's already showing promise in basic training and is eager to please. With patience and positive reinforcement, she will continue to blossom into a well-behaved and devoted family member.
Puppy training classes and socialization experiences are vitally important and will contribute to her development and happiness.
Ideal Home: Sweet Potato would thrive in a loving home where she can receive the attention and care she deserves. She's a wonderful choice for families, singles, or anyone seeking a companion who exudes warmth and happiness.
While Sweet Potato and her brother share a special bond, they can be adopted separately into homes that can provide them with love, security, and a bright future.
Adoption Information: Sweet Potato is now ready to begin the next chapter of her life in a forever home where she can share her gentle nature and unconditional love. If you're interested in adopting Sweet Potato, please complete an adoption application to inquire about her and the adoption process. In spite of the 7-hour journey from rural Virginia, Sweet Potato and Drumstick are now within reach of finding a loving home in the DC metro area, and they can't wait to bring happiness to your life.
