Taffy’s Legacy Adoptable for the Month of November!

Dog Gone Walking is proud to be partnering with Taffy’s Legacy, a local dog rescue, to match adoptable dogs with their perfect human. Over the years, we have seen the love and joy that rescues can bring to everyone around them, and we firmly believe that all dogs deserve a home to call their own. We hope that this partnership with Taffy’s Legacy will bring us one step closer to finding every dog their furever family.

Squishy is a 1yo Husky mix who has had a bit of a unusual first year. Squishy was hit by a car around 8 months old and fractured both back legs, but he didn’t let that slow him down! Now he is completely healed physically, but unfortunately was recovering in isolation during a time where social development is very important, and needs to work on his social skills outside on walks. He is easily overstimulated by everything, and is working on focusing on his person instead of whining as passing cars or dogs, and walking calmly beside his person. Is he also pretty busy indoors, and needs reinforcement on what is appropriate to chew on and what isn’t. Squishy is very food-motivated and loves training, he is very affectionate with all people, and gets along with his dog friends after a proper introduction.
