Taffy the Dog needs a home

Adopting A Shelter Dog



These dogs come without background histories/ past medical information. We present these dogs as we have observed in relationship to age, size, breed, behavior, housebreaking, crate training, good with children, cats, dogs, and strangers. Dogs may present themselves differently in different environments, therefore The Dog Spot Rescue, their agents, volunteers, can not guarantee behavior, age, size expectations, breed, house Training, destructive behavior tendencies, and/or medical issues. All dogs from shelters have been subjected to pathogens from the shelter level which can materialize into disease in the future.  Each adopter must observe for themselves pre-adoption and make decisions for themselves the suitability of said dog and their tolerance levels for transitional time when adopting a shelter dog.  We ask that each adopter take their time when making the choice to bring home a rescued dog.

Taffy appears to be a Maltese/shihtzu/terrier.  She is not non-shedding. Taffy is approximately 4 to 6 years old Though she thinks she is a pup! Taffy came  to was pregnant  from a high kill shelter. As a pregnant dog she would’ve never been put up for adoption. He is a super happy and bubbly little girl who loves attention. We feel she would be great for a senior or adult home or a family with the older kids.  We do not know how she would be with the smaller children and toddlers, possibly fine.  She is a butterball and is probably around 10 pounds but overweight. She gets along great with the other dogs and does not care about cats. House training unknown. If interested, please go to our website and fill out the application. She is ready to meet you and find her forever home!

Your Adoption Fee covers the following expenses: Spay/Neuter, DHLPP, Bordatella, Rabies (if age appropriate), De-worming and Frontline/Advantage



Please Note: Shelter/rescue dogs have been exposed to many pathogens such as kennel cough, parasites, diseases and conditions some of which may not have been discovered prior to adoption. Any dog that shows symptoms here at TDS are routinely identified, taken for tests and treatment. Our vet bills can exceed $10,000 a month. However, without symptoms, we may miss a disease, or pre-existing condition or parasite. Consider carefully if you have the tolerance for these possibilities. We consider, you, the adopters, the last leg of the rescue process.
