Spotlight on Lola:

The Taffy Fund helps out: this is Lola, a 1 year 10 month old pit bull. She was brought in by some kind citizens after being hit by a car. Her front leg was shattered and had to be amputated and healed up before she could be made available for adoption. She might only have three legs now, but she gets around well and is a sweet heart. Her medical needs were paid for by donors to the Taffy Fund.
