People. Help. This dog has been in a cage at County for a whole year! She only gets out once a week - not good for ANYONE'S disposition!! Now she doesn't "show well" so nobody is interested. Once she's outta the jail cell, she's great! She has a wonderful volunteer dedicated to helping her but County put a deadline on her life of Monday. She has to die after a whole year living like that because she is scared and lonely. That's not right!! Who can foster or adopt? Please ask everyone! I will be there to train with her new permanent or foster family. It won't cost anything because the volunteer is arranging sponsorship. PLEASE HELP BY GETTING THIS GIRL OUTTA THERE OR BY SHARING THIS POST!!!! HER TIME ON EARTH IS UP!!!

EXCITING!! So exciting I couldn’t wait for delivery of Aunty Taffy’s new business cards! Here’s a photo of what was sent to the printer. I have combined my decades of business experience with my decades of volunteering in pet rescue to develop a brand new way to adopt pets. Aunty Taffy’s finds and pre-approves adoptive homes FIRST and THEN finds the pet matching them. Adopters love it because they don’t have to “shop” for weeks or months, they only fill out one basic application and get matched with great pets. Rescue groups love it because they can adopt out more pets.

Shout out and BIG THANK YOU to everyone who has supported me. Special thank you to the ladies collaborating with me over this past year+ as I whittled down exactly which services Aunty Taffy’s will provide. The main ones are: Mary McCuller, Dog/Foster/Rescue Mom Extraordinaire; Lisa Platt, Master Networker/Marketer/Pet Lover; Teri Ann Tate, Pet Business Owner/Animal First Aid Instructor/Pet Rescuer/More.

Website and some profiles still need updating so text me at 602-999-5515 for info on how you can adopt through and/or support Aunty Taffy’s LLC. Currently serving the entire Phoenix Valley of the Sun area but stay tuned – there are expansion plans in the works.

WooHoo! Let’s go!

FYI: That's my old pack. My new pack has 3 members besides me but I don't have any good pictures of us!

Are you brushing your dog's teeth? Don't laugh - it could save a lotta money on dental work. And your dog will be able to breathe in your face without you passing out! That's huge!

Aunty Taffy here. I've been brushing my dogs' teeth for decades. In a newsletter almost 20 years ago for my last pet company, Refurbished Pets, I showed a picture of me brushing little Ruby's teeth and discussed all the benefits which are the same ones we humans enjoy - keeping our teeth with minimal expense.

But wait! you say. NO WAY is my dog gonna allow that to happen! True - at first. They have to get used to it. Because of personal emergencies, dogs weren't having their teeth brushed around here for a couple years. The breath! Baby NEVER had hers done so it's horrible! Monty and Kody forgot so also horrible!

Here's how to do it. First, accept it's not happening for a week or two. First day show them the brush and toothpaste. Use dog toothpaste - NEVER USE HUMAN TOOTHPASTE. They're gonna swallow it so it has to be safe. Mine always preferred the Poultry Flavor but you can try a couple others. Anyway, second day take the cap off the tube. Squeeze a dot to the top and quickly let them sniff. Pull it away like it's a prize. Show them the brush again. Let them sniff it. Put it on the ground so they can investigate. Third day do all of the above but force them to taste it. Make it look like you accidentally touched their mouth with the taste. "Oh, sorry!". Eventually move the taste to the brush - couple more days. Once they are picking off the brush, accidentally get the brush in there to touch one tooth. Add to that every day. Even give them an extra sq**rt of toothpaste. Do this at the same time every day. Soon they'll be drooling when it's tooth brushing time. It's why I never use the finger brush sometimes supplied. I use soft bristled human toothbrushes, child size for little dogs, adult for big dogs. I don't want dog drool running down my arm. Gross!

Nobody had interest the first day. In fact, they ran away, screaming "Abuser!" All I did was have them sniff. The second day I touched a dot to each of their mouths. Torturous!! Third day Monty said, "Wait..what was that taste again?" The others retreated but not far. Fourth day Monty wanted more. The other two hung around, interested. Of course I showed excitement about Monty's progress. The others are reconsidering their boycott because they are missing out being praised.

Ahh, jealousy in dogs. You gotta make it work for you.

INTRODUCING DOGS TO EACH OTHER

I do rehab for dogs - emotional not physical. One of my methods is to have dogs who don't know each other but are about to, to share a perceived threat or trauma. Instant bonding. Done it a few times when bringing in a new dog. My favorite was when I had to introduce a 70 pound Carolina Dog who had lived at the shelter in an outdoor kennel for a year to my 2 Dalmatians, house dogs, one 55 pounds and one 85 pounds. After thinking about what trauma they could have in common I got it: bath. I took the Dals to one of the shelter yards and turned them loose. I took Joey, the Carolina, to the adjoining yard. I tied him to the fence not shared and proceeded to give him a bath. All 3 panicked! My Dals were frantic for Joey. Once I was done, I let the others in. They rushed right to Joey to make sure he was okay and to comfort him. They were buds from that moment on.

It works.

Greetings! Aunty Taffy here. After a couple years I finally figured out exactly how Aunty Taffy's LLC will operate. I tried different things which were fun but didn't help my goal - to save pet lives. My telecom company, WAAM Communications (which recently turned 23 years old), was supposed to help fund my rescue efforts and did for a while. It funded another company I started, Refurbished Pets, which raised money for rescue groups by selling stuff like key chains or whatever. The recession killed that because people wanted milk, not keychains. Now I have Aunty Taffy's and after decades, and kinda studying that telecom industry which exploded at the same time rescue did, I know what I need to do.

Aunty Taffy's is taking a different approach to pet adoptions, modeling after what happened in telecom. Currently there are thousands of different rescue groups around the country all vying for the same families. They are all going to adoption events, showcasing the pets. But what about the pets that are too stressed to attend? They linger. What if an adopter just "settles" because they are tired of searching and jumping through hoops with the requirements, etc., and ends up returning the pet?

Instead, Aunty Taffy finds the adoptive homes FIRST. That's what I did in telecom. Found the company and learned about what it needed. Then found the right product for that company. Here we determine the best type of pet BEFORE searching to avoid any impulsive decisions. That will make the pet adoption process so much easier and help cut down on returns.

I'm also doing pricing differently from the normal - no "99". I'm just rounding up to the "0". Here's Aunty Taffy's Price List. The descriptions of each one will be published on the website by tomorrow.

PET ADOPTION PROGRAM - $200
DOGGY MANNERS PROGRAM - $500 For First Two Dogs; $200 Each Dog After That
PET RESCUE GROUP PROGRAM - $200/6 MONTHS
VENDOR PROGRAM - $200/6 MONTHS

Aunty Taffy Pays You:
ADOPTION COUNSELOR – $140
REFERRAL FEE - $25.00

I should have been dead. My mom says at least twice. She said I was a Bait Dog in my former life. Other dogs learned how to be professional fighters by beating me up all the time. I'm a Lover, not a Fighter so I was torn up a lot. And I got scared of everything.

I somehow escaped but ended up at County. Nobody wanted to see me because I stayed in a little ball and wouldn't look up at anybody. Luckily I AM a Handsome Lover so all the workers and volunteers protected me from The List.

Then Covid happened and I wasn't going to be safe anymore at the end of the day they closed.

A miracle happened! My mom showed up right after lunch and wanted the first 2 dogs on The List which I was now on. As soon as she saw me refusing to look up and totally shut down, she said "I'll take him. I need 1 more." Then she walked down to the next cage and got my new 12 year old brother. He did want to kill me the first night, and I was going to let him, but our new mom put a stop to that right away!

I haven't died yet. Whew! I love my brother and my new little sister even though she's exhausting. My mom, Aunty Taffy, wants to find homes for dogs like us. She'll find one for you, too. There's nothing wrong with us that love from good humans can't fix. And treats. Lots of treats.
