In the shelter’s words
Nine-year-old Tootsie has already lived a lifetime of hardship—but you’d never know it from the quiet sweetness she carries today. For years, this tiny poodle was left outside on a short lead, her coat matted to the skin, her body crawling with fleas. When one of our incredible volunteers rescued her, we couldn’t even tell what breed she was. A gentle shave-down, extensive dental work, and months of tender veterinary care later, Tootsie is finally thriving in her foster home. Tootsie’s heart truly comes alive around other dogs. She absolutely needs canine companions and especially loves big dogs—her favorite cuddle buddy is an 80-lb Pittie mix! With people, she can be a little shy at first, but patience and kindness help her bloom into a devoted friend. Tootsie is a gentle, soulful senior who longs for: • A home with at least one friendly dog • A secure yard for leisurely exploring • Humans who understand she may need a moment to trust—but who will be rewarded with quiet loyalty and love
