ADOPTION ALERT 🧡🐶
Our adorable little namesake, Taffy, is now part of her forever family!

Sweet little Sara had a big day yesterday. She had her spay surgery, mass removal on her leg, and a mass near her eye removed. She was a bit groggy of course, but she’s got the love of her foster family to make her feel better ❤️ The mass was sent out for testing so we can be sure it’s nothing to be concerned about 🤞
I haven’t received her invoice yet, but I’d imagine it will be a hefty one. Please help us continue to care for these dogs as they so deserve.

This is the progression of just 2 days in foster for Rocky 💙 What was once a terrified boy, is now a love bug that accepts all the pets he can handle.

Pre-orders start Friday—don't miss out on this amazing way to support the rescue! 🐾 Stay tuned for a sneak peek of our photoshoot! 😏
This little boy, Rocky, joined us yesterday! We learned he had a deadline to get out of the shelter by this Thursday before it was too late for him. Thanks to a wonderful foster, Rocky is now safe! He is such a doll and is learning that he can finally relax. Welcome to Taffy’s Touch, Rocky 💙

Taffy's Touch Senior Rescue - 8/26/24
Stewie saw our vet on Saturday and they did bloodwork and X-rays that we are waiting on results for so that we can know more of what’s going on with our sweet boy. His bill for just that one visit was $627. Stewie was a last minute pull for us. It was either we get him or he was to die that night at the shelter. Those were the options, as hard as they are. So in the midst of struggling to keep up with all the other vet bills, we got him out. Please help if you can! Stewie will need many more appointments and he deserves a fighting chance. You can call the Franklin Animal Clinic directly (317-483-7427), or any of the following…

Happy National Dog Day from Rocco and all of us at Taffy’s Touch! 💕 POST your dog pics below
These two cuties will make their TV debut around 10:30! Let’s hope they cooperate (for my sake) 😀
Happy Monday from Gemma 💕
When it’s Sunday night and you’re contemplating whether or not you need your job 😆

Mya (female shih tzu) and Riley (male poodle) joined us today! They are a precious bonded pair that landed in a shelter when their elderly owner could no longer care for them. So far, they’ve each had a bath and are watching Netflix 😀 Since they are crashing with me, you can catch them tomorrow on Indy Now at 10! Both babies will also be at the Indy 11 game with us next Saturday 💞
Thanks so much for their transport help to bring them to safety!
Last week, I shared my family’s personal loss of Bella. I randomly came across this picture of our Bella girl sitting with the very reason behind this rescue….TAFFY 💕
This image is an oddity to say the least! Bella didn’t exactly enjoy sharing her personal bubble space with other dogs. She would either tell them to go away, or she’d just get up and move herself. She did, however, nicely tolerate my ever revolving door of rescue dogs 😄
Our house is very empty with Bella gone. But I’m at ease knowing that she’s lying with Taffy again and that both of them will be waiting to greet me when it’s my turn. Until then, I’ll just be thankful for these subtle reminders 💞
Sweet little Bella girl is nice and comfy, just as she deserves 💞 She also got her bangs trimmed so she can now see much better 😊
Stewie had a good first night and slept like a baby 😴 He even made friends with the Doberman in the background 💙 Stewie will join his foster home later today and we will post updates as we get him see by our vet.
There are times that I have to tell my logical brain to shut up and sit down, then listen to my heart. This is one of those times. Everyone, meet Stewie 💙
He arrived to a local shelter in the condition shared in the first picture. Thanks to a wonderful groomer, named Chelsea, he was set free from the horrible matting. I can only imagine how much better and different that made him feel ❤️
I’ll be honest….I wavered back and forth on pulling this one. He has what the shelter thinks is a mass in his throat. His breathing becomes so labored at times that’s it’s a horrible sound to hear. But then other times, he breathes normally. It’s the “other times” that sold me. Thanks to Lauren for advocating for him at the shelter 😊
In this rescue, we aren’t concerned with the length of time a dog is with us. I honestly don’t pride myself on the number of adoptions or success stories. This is a different kind of success. Stewie here just needs some yummy food and a comfy bed for now. He may be with us a short period, or he may thrive. I have no clue! Stewie will see our vet and we will then determine what’s best for him.
I knew I would’ve regretted not pulling him and letting him die in the shelter. But I certainly won’t regret the time spent loving on him 💙
More Rocco cuteness!! 😍🐶❤️
Orders due TODAY!
We really need more committed fosters to choose from! Dogs can only be pulled from shelters or other unsafe situations if we have a dedicated and committed foster lined up in advance. We provide all medical costs, thanks to wonderful supporters 💙 We ask that fosters be in Indianapolis or surrounding counties to utilize our partner vet locations. We can also provide any supplies needed!

Harbor was in on that photo session too 😍 This little nugget is just a darling soul that loves to be with people. He is dog friendly and pretty much just enjoys being in anyone’s presence. Harbor has some follow ups with our vet before he’s ready to go, but he plans on coming to the Indy 11 game with us on August 31st also 💙
Thanks so much to Emily for these amazing photos!
Rocco had a photo shoot yesterday and OMG, I have to share them slowly to spread out the cuteness 😍 Rocco is 12 years old and waiting for his forever home. He’s such a handsome boy and does well with other dogs. He loves being held and just being close to his person any chance he gets. This cutie will be at our event for the Indy 11 game on August 31st if you want to meet him!
Thanks to Emily for taking such good pics of our pups! Located in Shelbyville, IN
Ok everyone, I sound like a broken record and I honestly annoy myself 😆 But Scout’s surgery alone was over $1500 and I just paid $2478 to ONE vet location. Scout alone was half of the cost 😳 I will then turn around and adopt him out for a $200 adoption fee. So if you EVER think this rescue is about the money raised, please think again. At any given moment there are 20-30 dogs in the exact same situation as Scout. This is the reason intake has dropped drastically and why I’m always pleading for funds. It’s a good thing this boy is so darn cute! 😍 Each one of them is worth it and our adoption fees are WAY less than many others. That’s because I realize these are older dogs and it’s always a possibility they will need more as time goes on. But there isn’t a business around that could sustain a $1300 loss repeatedly. We ❤️ these pups and we want to keep helping them! Thanks to those that help us do that 💙

Farley boy is hanging out with me for a bit while his foster mom is on vacation. I’m always happy to have adorable little house guests! Farley is housebroken, dog friendly, and doesn’t make a single mess, so that’s even better 🥰
Maxine had a spa day yesterday! Just look at the little cutie! 😍 Thanks to Mandy with Bark at the Moon Grooming llc and to her foster mom for covering the cost ❤️
Help Needed!!
We would LOVE to help this little old pair get out of the shelter. We honestly cannot keep adding dogs because every one of our current dogs has either needed a follow up, medications, surgery, or an emergency vet visit. Some of them needed multiple things on that list back to back. We have drastically cut intake because of it, yet our latest newbie (Baxter) will also be a medical mess requiring more funds.
None of that is Riley or Mya’s fault. They were surrendered to the shelter because owner was elderly and unable to care for them. My heart always wants to pull them out, but I have to think logistics and funding also.
We need you to help! Please donate if you can. It will go towards any one of our dogs and outstanding vet bills, so that we can save this pair.
This adorable duo also needs a foster home where they can lounge on a couch instead of a kennel floor. If interested, please let me know!

Merchhhhh ✨✨✨ senior dog rescue version!
Oh look.. senior dogs!🐶
Just wanted to show everyone what a sweet boy our newbie is ❤️ I’m sure some don’t understand why in the world I’d take on a decrepit old dog that can barely walk and that I know I’ll end up spending way too much money on for him to just pass away soon. Just watch his face in this video and see the appreciation behind his eyes. That’s why ❤️ Side note…I know I look exhausted. That’s because I AM 😆 that’s just the side effect of rescue. I also just stood in the rain for 30 minutes trying to get him out of my car 😬 Also, we named him Chester 🥰
If there is anything I regret about this one, it’s that I didn’t think to get a video of Chase in his kennel at the shelter before he knew freedom. This boy was trembling and just so terrified. He wasn’t eating anything and had no room to walk around. Two of us got down and baby talked him enough to get him out and he continued to be leery of everything around. Fast forward to less than 24 hours later, and this is what greeted me this morning ❤️ He ate every bite of his dinner and showers me with so many kisses that he knocks me over 😆 Chase is a whole different dog entirely now and I truly can’t think of anything in life more rewarding than this. My advice to anyone struggling with life right now is to go save an old dog. You won’t regret it ❤️
🌟📺 Teddy made his TV Debut on FOX59 News!
When Oscar gets a new toy, the sound effects are legit 😆 Make sure volume is up 🐾
Today, Lexi learned that she loves to swim 💙 (The slight scream at the end is thanks to her pushing me into the deep end and proceeding to get my hair wet 😆)
Ernie lives for meal time ☺️
Bath time for Chloe ❤️
Little Kiki is settling in well 🥰
I’m really not sure how, but Duke is STILL waiting for his forever home 🥰 He’s a 14 year old JRT mix with a heart of gold. He also enjoys puzzles 😊 Located in Indianapolis
Pupdate! After MANY very good suggestions for a name, I’ve decided on Oscar ❤️ Once I found out that it meant “spear of the gods”, I was sold 🥰 Here’s a little snippet of our handsome boy…
Update on Mannie…. The dog that couldn’t lift his head off the floor yesterday, refused to eat a bite, and scooted away from me (all signs saying it’s time to let go), was able to not only get up, but run a little today!! I’ve been around death enough, both human and animal, that I know there is often a rally before the passing. I know that sometimes false hope is given when they seem so much better….only to slip away again soon. But I’m ok with that, because today….he’s my Mannie boy again 💞
I feel like everyone needs to see Ginger run at least once in their lifetime 🥰
Mickey is back and he’s not too mad about it 😆 He does however, very much need his forever home!
