Tootsie APPLICATIONS PENDING

Tootsie is a very sweet 1-year-old Chihuahua mix, possibly a Chiweenie, weighing around 10 lbs. She was rescued from a hoarding situation where she had been neglected. She is responding nicely to all the love and attention now. She doesn’t know stairs or leashes yet, but her foster mom is working on both with her and is making progress. She is interested in other small dogs and gets along well with her 6 new foster siblings. Tootsie will thrive in a home with at least one small doggie pal. She will gently take treats from her foster mom’s hand, already enjoys being pet, and is starting to play with toys! These are probably all new experiences for her. She doesn’t mind being closed in her kennel for meals, and did okay getting her nails trimmed. She will use puppy pads, but is taking cues from the others when they go outside, and is catching on quickly. Tootsie is shy, so will need a bit of extra time and understanding while she adjusts. She is up to date on boosters and has recently been spayed.
