My name is Tootsie!

Meet Tootsie!

This darling 45-pound lab/hound mix is a kind-hearted as they come. She's 11-months old and is hoping for a family that can show her just how wonderful life can be.

Tootsie is a timid girl who is longing to trust. While it takes some time to get her to relax, we promise it's well worth the wait when you get to see her playful personality shine through! Tootsie will need a caring, patient family that will encourage her while she gets acclimated to her new home. As she is still a young lady, she will benefit from daily exercise and continued training as she grows. This will be a great opportunity to strengthen your bond and help build her confidence. She is a very capable girl and we can't wait to see her thrive!

Some of our volunteers recently took Tootsie for an outing. The car ride was a bit overwhelming for her, but we think with time and repetition, she will get more comfortable. She enjoyed a nice three mile walk on the trail and even hopped in the water to explore! When she came across other pups, she didn't seem bothered at all. Tootsie didn't seem too interested in her pup cup, but we look forward to finding out what her favorite treats are.

Based on our evaluation, we feel Tootsie would do well in an active, predictable home with adults or families with kids ages 12 and up. She tends to find comfort with other dogs and we feel she could do great with another pup who teach her just how much fun being a dog can be. We are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby.
