Story
Taffy is a fun-loving, energetic girl who's always ready for her next adventure! Whether she's playing fetch, tug-of-war, splashing in the water, or romping around with her dog friends, she's happiest when she's on the move.When the fun winds down, Taffy transforms into a total cuddle bug. She loves being close to her people and will happily follow you from room to room just to keep you company. She's a smart girl who knows sit, stay, and wait, loves chewing on bones, and is always eager to learn (though stuffed toys don't stand much of a chance!).Taffy is still polishing her leash manners because excitement sometimes gets the best of her, but with patience and positive reinforcement, she's sure to shine. If you're looking for an active best friend who will join you on every adventure—especially if it involves water—and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, Taffy is your girl.
