Meet Taffy, a senior dog as sweet as her name suggests! She's a cuddly companion who enjoys playing just as much as quiet time on the couch. Taffy's playful and spirited nature shines through, with her age never slowing her down. As one of our Special Care pets, Taffy needs a bit of extra love. She's prone to ear infections and carries a little extra weight, but with regular check-ups and a balanced diet, these issues are easily managed. Taffy is house-trained and low-maintenance, perfect for anyone seeking a relaxed lifestyle. Despite her minor health needs, her love and companionship are boundless. Taffy is not comfortable in close contact with other dogs and would need to be the only animal in the home, which just means there's more of her for you to love! If you're looking for a furry friend to fill your home with joy, Taffy is the one. She's ready to shower you with unconditional love-she just needs a forever home where she can continue being her sweet, playful self. If Taffy sounds like the gal for you, come on down and meet her in person at our River North location!
