• “I'm Potato (Tater), I'm a three year old bully mix. I am a fearful rescue and have some people and dog related reactive behaviors, so I do best when strangers keep their distance. I love to run and be chased, play with toys, and get my feet wet.“

  — Amanda S.

• “My mom found me as a tiny pup wandering a rural road in the mountains of México one night with my sister, no mom or owners to be found. She brought me back to Colorado and now I get to frolic in the snow, go on hikes, play with my Lab cousin Remi, and cuddle on the couch by the fire with my mom and dad.“

  — Kristen L.

• “Potato is a sweet rescue, pitbull mix who is about 5 years old. When she and her sister were rescued, they were found tied to a tree with 14 other dogs in the middle of winter. So sometimes she can be fearful or more reactive of dogs with onleash greetings or in more uncontrolled environments (public dog parks). She is a big sweetie that just takes some warming up!“

  — Maggie N.

• “Potato is the funniest and weirdest dog you’ll ever meet. He’s very curious about everything and understands nothing. We always say there’s “not a thought behind those eyes”. He’s always happy and LOVES laying in the sun - we joke that he’s solar powered. We got Potato when he was a puppy and he loves every dog. He’s been socialized well and for the first two years of his life, he went EVERYWHERE with his momma (restaurants, gyms etc). He is the life of the party and a constant source of entertainment.“

  — Rebekah L.
