About Truffles BW

Meet Truffles BW, also known as "The Ears Have It!" This charming dog stands out with her remarkable ears, which can move separately and crisscross atop her head. Truffles is not just a head-turner; she's a friendly and energetic companion who loves long walks, playing with balls and stuffed toys, and engaging in tug-of-war. When playtime winds down, she is ready for cuddles. Truffles faces some unique challenges due to a genetic condition called mega esophagus, which requires specific meal preparation. She has a special chair that allows her to eat upright, ensuring she has the right posture during meals. Although she can't have treats, her enthusiasm for food and eagerness to jump into her chair makes mealtime a breeze. You might hear her throat moving like a bullfrog while she sleeps, but there's no need for concern. Truffles is perfect for an active family or individual who can appreciate her playful spirit and affectionate nature. She does well with children, though her energy might be better suited to older kids. This sweet girl is also great with both dogs and cats. Ready to welcome a loving companion into your life?
