Sweet Taffy has not had the easiest start to her life.  Found as a stray in Lake Elsinore, she was taken to a shelter, but her owners never looked for her, and her time was running out.  Since the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center rescues dogs from that area, she was brought here to find a home that would commit to her for her lifetime.  Unfortunately, she was adopted once but immediately returned because of her activity level and prey drive.  So, she is waiting again for someone who will understand her need for exercise, training and consistency.
