Levi (formerly known as Taffy) got a BIG forever family

Two and half years ago Levi Guido (formerly Taffy) was adopted into his new forever family. Unlike most forever families, besides his "parents", Levi also has over 250 "brothers and sisters". Levi's new forever family happens to be at the Wells Community Boys & Girls Club in Bluffton, IN.
Levi's adventure into his new family started with a group of children at the Club asking the Executive Director, Lisa, if they could get a dog for the Club. This youthful spirited request ultimately led to Lisa's decision to adopt a dog that she would take to work as a "Club Dog". After research into the best type of dog for a setting filled with energetic children, Lisa applied to adopt Levi (believed to be a Shih Tzu/ Bichon mix).
Two and a half years have gone by and Levi is truly living "the dog's life". Each weekday morning he wakes ready to go to "work". Once at work, Levi's job consist of: giving tours to new "friends" who visit the Club, listening to kids read during homework and reading time, being the all time "un-freezer" during freeze tag, and showing all the kids at the Club what true unconditional love really is. Recently Levi was one of the stars in the Club's talent show, showing off his ability to sit, lie down, roll over and dance. For all his hard work, Levi is paid with all the love, petting, and attention any dog could handle (and a few treats here and there).
Levi is not only a part of the Club where the kids are concerned, but he is also a celebrity member of the board of directors for the Club. He's been highlighted in several newspaper articles in Bluffton, and is touted as one of the Club's biggest fundraisers. Thanks to Perfect Paw's Pet Rescue, not only has Levi's life improved through adoption, but the lives of so many children have also improved. Thank you Perfect Paw's for our "perfect pet"!!
