PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing or "inquiring" is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. Meet Taffy, your new best friend! On a rainy morning in October, Taffy was found in a neighborhood, dressed in a striped sweater and looking for comfort. This very young bundle of joy is filled with energy and excitement, ready to bring laughter and happiness into your life. Taffy absolutely adores making new friends—her playful spirit and curiosity mean she's always up for an adventure. Whether she's cuddling up with her foster family every evening or greeting new faces with enthusiasm, Taffy quickly wins the hearts of everyone she meets. She does wonderfully with other dogs and would thrive in a home with another young companion to play with. If you have dog-savvy cats, Taffy is a good match as long as your cat is patient with her playful nudges. What you’ll love about Taffy: - Young, energetic, and affectionate - Gets along well with other dogs and dog-savvy cats - Enjoys playing fetch with you and can also entertain herself - Loves food and is easy to train with treats - Walks well on a leash and excited to become your walking or hiking buddy - Her favorite spot is snuggled on the back of your chair, nestled in your neck Taffy is very loving and easy to fall in love with. Her foster family delights in her habit of curling up close for warmth and comfort, making each evening a special time together. She’s vocal when she’s waiting for her meals, expressing herself with high-pitched squeals, but she settles down quickly and enjoys watching out the windows or finding toys to play with. Whether you have children or other pets, Taffy's playful nature makes her a wonderful addition to many homes. She is eager to share her boundless affection and create lasting memories with a family who appreciates her spirited personality. If you’re looking for a lively, loving companion, Taffy is ready to bring joy and laughter to your home. We hope you'll come meet Taffy soon and discover the happiness she’s waiting to share!

Story
Ella is the sweetest girl ever! She's a 1-year-old, 30-pound Cairn Terrier mix with a scruffy tan coat and a loving personality. Although she might be a bit shy at first, she soon relaxes and settles into a calm life with playful dogs. She prefers not to be around rambunctious ones which usually reflect a more active lifestyle than she likes. But she's no couch potato which you'll quickly see as she climbs up a wired fence! A delightful girl! (posted 12/16/25, ME) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **January 20, 2026, 1:51 pm

The Adoption Fee is $375.00. ***You must be at least 25 years of age to adopt from CKRescue*** ***Please note that our first step in approving adoption applicants is to complete a vet check. Vetting of current and past pets is very important to us, thus we will be speaking with the vet(s) listed on your application to ensure that your current and previous pet(s) are kept up to date on vaccines (including rabies), spayed or neutered, maintained on appropriate monthly preventatives and examined annually by your vet.*** Our organization cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and/or the general appearance of the animal. **Please visit www.caninesandkittiesrescue.org to complete our non-binding application.**
