Grand Cane, LA, Taffy, b/t f, very undernourished (adopted)
Petfinder Adoptable Dog | German Shepherd Dog | Grand Cane, LA | Taffy
    Taffy German Shepherd Dog: An adoptable dog in Grand Cane, LA Large • Adult • Female     More about Taffy Pet ID: 1362 • Primary colors: Sable, White or Cream • Coat length: Medium Taffy's Contact Info T B Yopp Jr Animal Facility, Grand Cane, LA
Taffy looks as if she had insufficient nutrition growing up as she looks underdeveloped, rather than having grown up somewhat ok and then being starved. She reminds me of my Chip when I got him. Not emaciated in the sense that ribs stick out but emaciated in that his rib case was flat when you looked down on him, and everything incl. head was bony. There was no waist b/ his rib case was as thin as his skinny waist. His elbow joints were very East/West. He looked 'pathetic', as everyone commented. The only foods he took were bread, noodles, rice, pizza crust, and chicken wings. I had to hand feed him initially to get him used to healthy food. To my happy surprise, he replenished and caught up completely, developed a great chest, firmed the joints, and is a well built, muscular, healthy rocket now. The elbows are a bit East/West still but much better than at first, and not an orthopedic concern. It didn't take that long either. Saying this so no one feels deterred by her current condition. I hope Taffy will get a chance to feel nourished and loved, too. Taffy has such a sweet face. PS The pound is ca 35 mi S of Shreveport

Oh, that sweet, sad face just kills me!
 I sure hope she finds a nice home where she can finally get the love and security she needs.
