Courtesy post: Potato is looking for a new home! See below:
"Due to significant upcoming changes in our lives we are urgently searching for a loving home for the sweetest Potato. She is a 9 year old pittie/staffy mix, 44lbs, spayed, microchipped, and up to date on shots for the next year. She is highly food motivated and loves to lounge around under her many blankets like a proper potato. She struggles with separation anxiety and can be fear-reactive, but she’s not aggressive. She may bark or whine at new people but will eventually warm up - especially when treats are involved. She has never destroyed any furniture or had accidents in the house in the 2 years we've had her in our care. She will bark and howl when left alone - this is really important to consider if you have neighbors! She's very smart and responds well to consistent training. She knows basic "commands" and some extras like ~spin~ and ~paw~. She is leash trained and goes for daily 40-60 min walks. She may be able to live with other dogs if there is proper introduction, as she lived with other 3 dogs for most of her life without problems (until 1 dog started being provoked by her anxiety and attacking her). She is not crate trained and being crated amplifies her anxiety. She is insured through Prudent Pet and we are happy to continue paying for her insurance until her policy ends in July 2026. We are also happy to provide food, treats, and pay for medications for the first few months. She takes medication to help with anxiety, pain, and digestion. We think she would thrive in a relaxing environment that isn't loud or chaotic, and with someone who is a homebody or works from home. Located in Olympia, WA. Please reach out if you or someone you know have any leads or are able to provide Potato a loving home!"
