About Sweet Potato

Meet Sweet Potato! Sweet Potato is the last of our adorable "Cutie Pies," rescued from a local farm with his two siblings. While his siblings are learning to explore, Sweet Potato retains his spicy personality. He's apprehensive around people and needs more time and patience to feel secure before heading to his forever home. When he thinks no one’s watching, his playful side emerges. Sweet Potato clearly yearns to show off his spunky nature, yet he's still cautious about letting others in. His caretakers know it's essential to respect his pace, observing his body language to understand when he needs space or when he’s ready to interact.

Currently available for foster-to-adopt within 30 minutes of Madison, WI, he can continue to build confidence in a nurturing environment while getting to know his family.
