About Truffles BW

Meet Truffles BW, a remarkable dog with an eye-catching feature: her ears! This two-and-a-half-year-old beauty can move her large, bat-like ears independently in all directions. You’ll often find them crisscrossing playfully atop her head. Truffles enjoys long walks, lively games of tug-of-war, and cuddling. She’s boisterous and fun, making her an excellent companion for an active family. She loves kids, though a quieter household with older children may be best. Due to a genetic condition called megaesophagus, Truffles requires a special feeding routine. She eats upright in a custom chair and must wait to digest before engaging in play. While she can’t have treats, her enthusiastic nature more than makes up for it. She’s affectionate, intelligent, and eager to please. Truffles gets along well with dogs and cats, making her a versatile addition to any home.
