Sweet Potato is a 6-year-old, 57 lb GSD/Anatolian Shepherd mix who believes personal space is optional and that your lap is her rightful throne. She's the ultimate cuddle bug, a fluffy teddy bear who radiates comfort and affection. Sweet Potato isn't about chaos; she's all about being close to her people, soaking up love, and making every day feel like a deep exhale. She possesses a rare combination of being incredibly affectionate, wonderfully easygoing, and so naturally comforting that spending time with her is pure bliss. She's the perfect low-energy, go-with-the-flow lady who knows when it's time for a stroll, some sunshine, or to curl up by your side. She has wonderful house manners, walks politely on a leash, and carries herself with the grace of a true lady.
