Taika's name means "magic" in Finnish, and she definitely lives up to it. After making the journey from Texas to Utah following the devastating floods, this 9-month-old, 49-pound pup is ready to work her magic on a family of her own.

She's a quick learner, loves meeting new people, and approaches life with all the enthusiasm only a puppy can bring. If you're looking for a smart, happy sidekick who can turn an ordinary day into something a little more magical, Taika is ready to cast her spell.
