About Potts

Meet Potts! Meet this adorable girl, Potts! This beautiful momma has officially put her mothering days behind her and is ready for someone to finally spoil HER! Potts is approximately 2 years and 10 months old, weighs around 45 lbs, and is fully grown. Without a DNA test, we cannot confirm her breed, but we believe she is a German Shepherd mix. Potts is ready to leave shelter life behind and hopefully find herself a forever family just in time for the holidays! We don't know much about Potts' past, but we do know she has experienced motherhood and has spent time caring for her puppies. Now that her mothering days are behind her, we would love nothing more than to see her enjoy a life where she gets to be the one receiving all the love and attention she deserves. She has been living in the shelter environment since September, patiently waiting for someone to give her a chance. The shelter describes Potts as an incredibly sweet, social, and affectionate girl who absolutely loves people, especially those who come bearing tasty treats! She has a wonderful personality and seems to offer the perfect balance between enjoying adventures and appreciating the quieter moments in life. Potts enjoys going for walks and would likely make a wonderful companion for someone who enjoys hiking, car rides, and spending time outdoors. However, she would be just as happy spending a chilly evening curled up under a blanket with her favorite people. She truly seems like the kind of dog who would love simply being included in her family's everyday activities. Potts has reportedly done wonderfully with other dogs and enjoys making canine friends. We think she could thrive in a home with another friendly dog, although another dog is certainly not required. She could also do wonderfully as the only dog in a household where she receives plenty of attention and affection. We don't currently know how Potts behaves around cats, so we cannot guarantee feline compatibility. A home with cats may be considered with an adopter who understands the importance of slow, controlled introductions and proper management. Potts has also had limited documented exposure to children. Given her affectionate personality and love of people, we think she may have the potential to do well with respectful children who understand appropriate boundaries with dogs. As always, introductions should be slow, positive, and supervised. Although Potts is an adult dog, her future family should understand that transitioning from shelter life into a home can take time. We cannot guarantee she is fully potty trained or familiar with household routines. Her adopter should be prepared to provide patience, consistency, continued training, and positive reinforcement as she settles into her new environment. Given Potts' manageable size and personality, we think she could fit into a variety of living situations. We would love to see her in a home with access to a yard, ideally one that is securely fenced, but a fenced yard is not required. We are also happy to consider apartments and condos as long as her adopter is committed to meeting her daily exercise and enrichment needs. Overall, Potts is an incredibly sweet girl with so much love to give. She has already spent part of her life taking care of others, and now it's her turn to experience the joy of being someone's beloved companion. The shelter Potts is currently living in is severely overcrowded, and without a committed adopter, dogs like her face uncertain futures. She has already spent months waiting for someone to see just how special she is, and we would love nothing more than to finally replace her shelter kennel with a warm bed and a loving family. Potts has spent time taking care of others. Now it's her turn to be loved, spoiled, and cared for by a family of her own! HEALTH: Potts is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on monthly preventatives. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: All of our dogs, including Potts, are currently located in Texas and will be transported to their adopters once the adoption is finalized. Transportation is included in the adoption fee. Please note that adopters will not be able to meet Potts in person prior to committing, as transport occurs after the adoption has been finalized. Breed labels are educated guesses based on appearance and available shelter or medical records. MA License #479
