My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Tootsie!

Hey everyone! Tootsie here from Great Lakes Dog Rescue! I’m a fun-loving one-year-old, 50-pound, lab/hound who is ready to snuggle my way into your heart!

My friends at GLDR recognized I was struggling at the kennel and knew I desperately needed some help! Luckily for me, one of their wonderful foster families stepped in and now I’m living it up at her place until you come take me to my forever home.

I currently live with my fabulous foster mom and my two amazing fur brother siblings. Being around other dogs really helps me build my confidence and I'd prefer to have fur siblings in my new home. If your fur baby is looking for a pal, you've found your girl! I have a blast playing with my fur brothers and can't wait to meet your pup! While dogs in my new home are a must, I'd prefer not to live with feline friends as I can't help but chase them.

As you can tell by my photos, life is pretty good! I’m learning how to be a member of the pack and am also learning new commands. I'm happy to report I'm house-trained and crate-trained! I enjoy all sorts of treats and take them gently. I absolutely love to explore outside and will gladly run in the yard every chance I get. Given my tendency to chase squirrels that try to invade our yard, everyone says I need a fenced-in yard to keep me safe. I’m decent on a leash, and my recall is improving every day. At the end of a fun-filled day, I sleep quietly through the night, cuddled up with my foster mom!

A pup of many interests, I like to alternate playtime with relaxing around the house. I'm a gal who loves my chew toys and will need lots of tough toys and enrichment in my new home. My foster mom says because I'm so smart, I need lots of fun stuff to keep me engaged. Thinking about a road trip? I'm a bit hesitant to hop in the car, but do well once we hit the road. I look forward to all the places we can go together!

When meeting new people, I can be a bit hesitant, but just know once that trust is there, I'll be a loving and loyal friend to you all my life. I don't currently live with kids, but am interested in them and would love to have some human siblings to play with as well. Kids ages eight and up would be best for me. Looking forward to an active home that will make me part of their adventures. I just know we will have the best time together!

If I sound like your kind of pup, please fill out an application at greatlakesdogrescue.com and my friends at GLDR will be in touch!
