My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Joyful, Friendly, and Full of Curiosity

Sweet Potato is a social and affectionate medium-sized Coonhound mix who enjoys spending time with both people and other dogs. He has experience in group settings, playdates, and boarding, and is typically happy and engaged in these environments.

Sweet Potato has also been around cats and has shown curiosity without aggression, making him generally calm and safe in multi-pet households. He is very friendly and outgoing with new people, though his excitement may show during greetings—he’s eager to learn polite ways to say hello.

With a moderate energy level, Sweet Potato enjoys toys, playtime, car rides, and plenty of cuddles and affection. He knows basic cues like sit, down, come, and is crate-trained, making him ready to continue learning and growing in a loving home.
With the right family, Sweet Potato will be a devoted and loving companion.
