Potato - Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Lincoln, Nebraska

This gorgeous girl is aptly named Potato due to her spud-like physique. Potato is estimated to be around 12 years old and she came to us after her elderly owner was no longer able to take care of her. Potato came to us at a hefty 45 lbs and is now currently 35 lbs! She's looking for a family who will help her maintain her healthy lifestyle.

Potato is used to having someone home most of the day, so she would greatly benefit from an adopter who is retired or works from home. She loves her people greatly and experiences some separation anxiety when she is left alone. Potato is fostered with children and other dogs and does great. She's a chunky girl who loves her food and would benefit from being separated while feeding.

Leash trained: Yes. She loves going on walks! She'll get excited if we pass other dogs and try to go towards them. But she really doesn't move to fast and she's easy to control.
Kennel trained: No - she does not like her kennel, and she's not destructive when left out.
Rides well in a car: Yep, she's happy to go on car rides.
Good with other dogs: Yes - she can be a bit of a bully to small dogs but does well with medium/large dogs
Good with cats: Not fostered with cats, but we think she'd do fine.

Shy or confident: Confident. She's not shy with visitors and will approach them for attention.
Barks: Yes

Special needs or health concerns: Potato recently had a dental cleaning and senior bloodwork. Everything looks age-appropriate! She might have some diminished hearing but it doesn't impact her day-to-day.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

Brave Animal Rescue is dedicated to protecting vulnerable and abandoned animals through rescue, compassionate care, and advocacy.
