It is such a joy to see pups feel safe enough to be themselves!

On the flip side, Taffy is a total cuddle bug, LOVES her humans, and is perfectly potty-trained.
We think because of all her extra kiddos, 10+ will be best for her, and we are still figuring out which kind of doggos she might like to share her life with.

Her forever family is going to have so much fun loving her!

Taffy is young, and her lucky family will have to be prepared for the fun and adventure of #frenchielife:
