Interior Design Hound’s CEO, Taffy a Scottish Terrier
When Taffy was about three years-old she was adopted from a no-kill shelter in Cincinnati, Ohio by Cynthia & her Husband. As a rescue Dog with crooked front legs, you could say that the anxious Scottish Terrier had a ruff start in life, but Taffy adapted to her new lifestyle & surroundings quickly. She’s trained Cynthia well and today Taffy can be found living the good life, as an Interior Design Hound, in the hills of Kentucky.

A day at the office is no walk in the park for this Scottie Dog. Taffy digs up the latest in design by sniffing around fabric samples, lounging around seeking out the most comfortable spot in the office, and chomping on treats. Taffy’s radar for comfort is remarkable!
