Meet Taffy, a senior dog who's as sweet as her name suggests. She's a cuddly companion, always ready for a friendly game or a quiet moment on the couch. Taffy is playful and spirited, her age never getting in the way of her fun-loving nature. Taffy is one of our Special Care pets, which means that she requires a bit more love. Taffy is special care due to her tendency to get ear infections and is on the heavier side, but with regular check-ups and a balanced diet, these issues are manageable. Taffy is house-trained and requires low maintenance, making her an ideal pet for those seeking a relaxed lifestyle. Despite her minor health issues, Taffy's love and companionship are limitless. If you're looking for a furry friend who will fill your home with joy and affection, Taffy is the perfect choice. She's ready to shower you with unconditional love, all she needs is a forever home where she can continue to be her sweet, playful self. Meet her in person at our River North Location!
