Meet Potato 🐰💛 This cheerful little guy arrived a Meet Potato 🐰💛

This cheerful little guy arrived as a stray, but he made it clear right away that he’s all about friendliness and fun. Potato enjoys gentle pets, toys he can toss and rearrange (stacking cups are a favorite), and plenty of room to zoom around and celebrate life with happy binkies.

He’s playful, affectionate, and has a big personality packed into a small, fluffy body. He can get quite particular about his toys and their “proper” placement, so don’t be surprised if you occasionally get a very serious look reminding you that his setup mattered. He also isn't the biggest fan of being held, even though he is very friendly and personable. 

With enrichment, space, and love, Potato is sure to bring nonstop joy and entertainment to his future home. 💛

Ready to meet him? visit hsdayton.org/adopt/small-animals

Thank you to @athertonplumbing for helping support shelter animals like Potato while they wait for their forever homes.

Looking to make a difference this summer? Open you Looking to make a difference this summer? Open your home and your heart by fostering an animal in need!

Fostering is one of the most impactful ways you can help shelter pets. A temporary home gives animals a much-needed break from the shelter environment, allowing them to decompress, build confidence, learn routines, and improve their overall mental well-being. For many pets, time in a foster home can be the key to helping them thrive and preparing them for a successful adoption.

Whether you're caring for a playful kitten, a shy dog, or a pet recovering from surgery, your love and support can truly change a life. Best of all, fostering lets you enjoy the companionship of a pet without making a long-term commitment.

Join our Foster Roster and be part of the movement that's saving lives, one home at a time. Learn more at hsdayton.org/foster.
