About Tootsie

Meet Tootsie! This sweet girl is great with adults and kids, showing a calm and tolerant demeanor even amidst noise and activity. Tootsie enjoys the company of dogs, being friendly, playful, and gentle—she could thrive with other dogs or as your sole companion. However, she does not get along with cats and has quite the interest in chasing them. Tootsie is well-mannered in the house, often found relaxing and napping in quieter spaces. She loves playtime, especially chasing other dogs, and occasionally plays with toys. On leash walks, she tends to pull and would benefit from some leash training to improve her manners. Tootsie has no food aggression, eats leisurely, and is comfortable being around people while eating. She has a special love for treats, especially cheese, and definitely perks up at the sound of a cheese wrapper! While she may need a little help with basic commands like sit and come, she's quiet in the home with no excessive barking. Overall, Tootsie is an easygoing companion who would adapt well to a family looking for a dog to train and shower with love. If you're looking for a loyal friend who might just test those couch privileges, Tootsie could be your perfect match. Schedule a meet with her soon!
