Meet Potato
This approx 2 yr old female was left at a property with 7 puppies. I have been feeding them all winter… someone has neutered this girl since she had the pups. I think the puppies are about 10 months old now. I have found homes for 3 of the pups. The man who left them told me that this dog was named POTATO by his 5 yr old daughter. Apparently, he did not had the wherewithal to take her and the pups when he left the property. They have survived a wicked winter and many stormy nights outside. I started feeding them in December, built a shelter for them and made sure they had food and water all winter. I live about 25 miles away and drive there every day to check on them. I have three dogs and cannot take another one in. The pups are like a pack now and although I can feed them, they are wary of me getting too close. BUT, Potato comes to me and loves to be touched, pet, and talked to. She is a sweet girl and I think has been house trained. She seems to know sit, come, no, etc. I have a couple of female Airedales at home who are pretty bonded to me and my third dog is one of the pups from this litter. I feel it would be a dog fight if I brought Potato home, as the three here would not be happy to share my time. I am 74 and a caregiver for my 87 yr old husband. It would be too much to have another dog. I think Potato is a really loving girl, who just wants to be cared for. I think she was hit by a car last year and has a hip injury ( she limps a little) but otherwise is in good health. She needs a bath and someone to love her. She is the only one I can catch. I will keep trying to get the pups to gain my trust. I just hate leaving Potato, she is at risk of getting hit again on the highway. All of the shelters I have called say they have no room for another dog. She is in Hot Springs county and apparently they have no animal rescue. I want to find her a good home but will continue to feed her and the pups until I do. They are near Social Hill, off Hwy 84 in Malvern. **** Breed: Shepard mix **** Pet Link: https://www.nokillnetwork.org/adoption/pet_detail.php?petid=2182622&flag=1
