About Sweet Potato

Sweet Potato is a three-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier mix with plenty of personality packed into her compact, muscular frame. On the smaller side for her type and standing a bit shorter than most, she keeps things lively with her playful, goofy energy. Her coat is a striking mix of brown and white, and she weighs in around 35 to 40 lbs. This is a dog who gets along well with other dogs and cats and absolutely lights up around people. She does best with regular exercise and mental stimulation, so a home able to provide walks and enrichment activities will keep her happiest. Moderate energy means she won’t bounce off the walls, but she isn’t a couch potato either. Sweet Potato loves making new friends and brings an upbeat vibe wherever she goes.
