About Truffle

Truffle turned up on a mountain in Appalachia alongside her six-month-old pups, Twix and Taffy—abandoned but not broken. Despite such a rough start, Truffle meets everyone with a warm, open heart. Locals said she was all love and affection, and she’s proven that true in foster care: always tail-wagging, eager for attention, and gentle when taking treats. She’s smart as a whip and pays attention when people offer guidance or new things to learn. In her role as a mother, she showed determination and real care, managing to keep her little ones safe until help arrived. Truffle seems to delight in every new person she meets, carrying a calm and trusting demeanor that’s hard not to love. She also gets along well with other dogs, which makes her easy to place in a multi-dog home. A fun fact—Truffle’s birthday is in late April, making her a Taurus: steady, loving, and loyal to her core. She’d be thrilled to find a family in Fairfax, VA, who will cherish her.
