About Potato

Adoption Fee: $20
Poodle mix
Age: Senior
Sex: Female

Due to her owner's medical needs Potato has been under our care for a few months and we are now looking to find her a more suitable home for the rest of her life. She is well cared for here and will remain until we find a place for her, however living in an environment with three high prey drive borzoi is not ideal for her. Potato is a ~15 years old mixed breed (part toy poodle) and is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccines, and recently had a dental performed where all problem teeth were removed. As such, she will need to stay on a soft or soaked kibble diet. She has a grade 1 luxating patella however it does not cause her issues. I currently have her on a joint supplement to attempt to reduce further degradation. Potato needs a calm household with a comfortable couch and someone around in the daytime to take her outside periodically. She can control her bladder for 8 hours but does significantly better when let out more frequently. She was very overweight when she came into my care and, although she has lost over two lbs, needs someone committed to maintaining her health. She is a lively dog and prefers to spend her time cuddled up on a couch or curled up nearby someone. She has no interest in toys but will utilize a lick mat. She is dog friendly although I suspect she was taken from her mother and littermates too young so she has little understanding of normal dog body language and boundaries. It would be best if she were placed as a single dog or in a home with very friendly dogs. Preferably, although not required, her future home would be willing to send a pic periodically for the first few months to her former owner via facebook. Please reach out if you are interested in or know of a potential home for Potato.
