Taffi (Princess Taffi)

Hidie Ho There human friends!!
My name is Taffi, Princess Taffi cuz I think I am. 😎
I am a beautiful fawn female greyhound who turn 4 years old in March 2021, and I currently live with my two foster parents as an only dog.
I never raced, and didn’t train as a race dog either, instead growing up in my trainers back yard with the family because I broke my back leg when I was a puppy ( I like to think I’m invincible!). So, After some surgery I healed but decided to take the retired life instead. So I discussed it with my wonderful trainer and my family and decided that I was ready to go out into the big world on my own and find my new family. So here I am! and I AM READY! 💋
Due to my leg, I walk with a limp sometimes, and have an odd gait. My wonderful vets found that I needed a screw removed and a spur taken off the bone. So I put my brave girl pants on and got my leg fixed up. I healed really well but I still required a bit of physio from my foster Mum (which is pretty nice!) to ensure the healing process was as smooth as it could be. I will forever have lameness on this leg, but at this time it causes me no issues, my bone is strong and all my fur has grown back!!
Despite the above, I do love a good zoomie. Multiple times a day I will do zoomies in my back yard, which is a good size so I can’t get too much speed. I have worn a track at the turning points, and sometimes when I get really silly I dig speedy holes with my front legs before zooming off again.
Later I put my soft toys in the holes, which makes my foster parents think I am a bit weird. I do love plush toys, I rarely destroy them, and I know not to steal other items around the house.
I wait at doorways even when you forget to ask me and will only enter behind you when you ask. Princesses are elegant, and that’s me!
I also don’t go past the blue line on the floor into the kitchen because I know the kitchen is not for dogs. I love all human food, especially cake when in children’s hands, but can be picky with my own food. I prefer chicken! That’s the best stuff!

I sleep in the hallway outside my foster parents bedroom, when they are looking I will sometimes sneak into the bedroom too!

When I am left home alone I am in the back yard, and I am happiest here, and can be here for the entire day. When I have had to stay with other people I bark when I am left alone, mainly because I have to know what is going on, not because I am anxious. Im a princess, you cant leave me out of the family fun!
Once I am in a routine and know what to expect the barking stops – unless you shout at me – then I will bark more, cuz that’s what I think you are doing so we “bark” together! Ha!
So, expect some barking when I first move in.
I really prefer my own company and a human, I prefer to be the queen of my castle. I am not that interested in being friends with other dogs. I much rather the company of a human, they are much more interesting. Anyway, I believe I am a reincarnated princess, I am independent and just like things my way. Plus I like all the attention and doting on me. I have been around other dogs and pick and choose my friends. I am well and truly an only dog. I am just a lady who likes my things my way, and I don’t want another dog coming along to change this.

I do however have to wear my muzzle when walking in public but I don’t mind at all. So please don’t let that bother you.

I Overall I am a beautiful soul and am just looking for the right person or family to understand me and give me the home I need.
Could that be you?

If you would like to meet me, I would LOVE to meet you; people are just the best. I promise you I won’t disappoint!!

Cant wait to see you!
Luv Miss Princess Taffi (Stephy)🌹❤️
