About Taffy

Taffy is a sweet, affectionate, energetic girl on a mission to find her forever home after nurturing her five puppies. Rescued from the South LA shelter, she’s now thriving in foster care and ready for a life filled with love and attention. She absolutely adores people and never wants to be far from her humans. Cuddly and warm, Taffy loves curling up in your lap or snuggling beside you in bed. Generally, she sleeps through the night, waking up around 8 a.m. each day. Outgoing and friendly, she greets everyone she meets on her walks with a wagging tail. But don't let her cuddly nature fool you; Taffy is also an active dog with plenty of energy! She enjoys long walks and is enthusiastic about playtime, relishing every toy she encounters. Ideally, she would thrive in a home with a younger, playful canine companion to match her enthusiasm for wrestling and active games. Regular exercise and mental stimulation will be crucial for her happiness. Taffy is intelligent, curious, and highly food motivated, making her a great candidate for continued training. She already knows "sit" and is mastering "stay," "off," and "touch". Treats keep her eager to learn! The ideal home for Taffy is one that enjoys spending quality time with their dog, providing plenty of affection, exercise, and ongoing training. After dedicating so much of herself to her puppies, Taffy is now ready to relish in companionship, adventures, and a life full of love. If you’re looking for an affectionate and energetic companion to brighten your days, Taffy is waiting for you!
