The poor girl lived on her own for a long time and was terribly afraid of people, although never unkind. Her sadness and fear caught our attention when we saw her photo, and we knew we had to help. Potato has turned into the happiest, brightest, playful gal who loves life. She adores other dogs and would not do well without them b/c they are a support system for her; they would need to be medium to large dogs and love to enjoy a snuggle and play buddy. Potato is extremely intelligent and learns quickly. She will need patience and understanding in her new home, knowing it will take time for her to adjust, for she is still afraid of new people and new things. Despite, she has a heart of gold and adores her people, passing out hugs and kisses all the time (and also to her canine buddies!). Potato is a very well behaved dog who has been an utter delight to have in rescue - we adore her! She's our happy little sweet potato. ##1683099##
