About Tootsie

Tootsie comes from a big litter—she and her seven siblings were all pulled from a tough situation by Straydog. Her mom is a German Shepherd mix, but Tootsie’s got the classic look of a Black Lab, likely from her dad’s side. At 9 months old, she’s been through her puppy vaccinations, is now spayed, and fully ready to find a real home. Tootsie gets along easily with other dogs and is comfortable with both adults and kids. She’s friendly, eager for attention, and if you stop by to meet her, you’re guaranteed plenty of puppy kisses. Come see if Tootsie’s the one you’ve been looking for.
