Furry Friday


Each week it’s a new Furry Friend waiting to be adopted at the Animal Rescue League of Iowa.

This week it’s: Taffy!

taffy 2I decided to feature Taffy because, well look at that face!  She is so eager to get love and learn, how can you say no?

From the ARL: “Taffy is a sweet girl who loves tug and playing with squeaky toys! She’s young yet with the typical energy level of an adolescent, so she’ll definitely need regular exercise each day. She’ll love playing in the backyard with you and might really enjoy being your running buddy! Taffy sits very nicely and takes treats politely, too. She has more to learn — basic skills, mouth manners, polite leash walking, keeping all four paws on the ground — but she will do very well with some training and individual attention. We encourage you to enroll her in classes! She can be a rowdy pup at times, so please bring any potential dog housemates to meet her before adoption to make sure everyone is compatible. This friendly beauty would love to meet you!”

Please consider adopting someone to love from the ARL this week.
