Potato

Potato (Poe for short) is a 3 month old female Lhasa Apso who weighs in at 5.8 pounds. This pup's adoption fee is $850. If you are still interested, please read more below.

Here is a bit about Potato:

She is a very sweet girl - cuddly, loves attention & will follow her favorite person wherever they go. She loves to play and wants to be around you 100% of the time!

She is still adjusting to things that scare her. Potato can get overwhelmed if there are a lot of people/chaos. She will do best in a quieter home with a couple or a family with children over 12 years old who want a companion animal who loves to just be by your side. If there is another dog in the home that she could play with that would be ideal - she LOVES other dogs! But, she would also be fine on her own as well. She has met a few cats and really liked them so other animals in the home would not be a problem for her.

Potato’s foster has worked with her on crate training and she is doing well – she doesn’t mind going in her crate now. Her potty training is going well though she still has a few small accidents inside. She has overcome her fear of outside. She can go on walks now & isn’t afraid of the backyard anymore. Having another dog around has definitely helped since she looks to her canine companion for guidance on what not to be afraid of.
