About Tootsie

Meet Tootsie! This 3-year-old, 12-pound Dachshund mix was rescued from an overcrowded shelter in California. Tootsie is timid at first but incredibly sweet, needing some time to feel comfortable in her new surroundings. She thrives in a securely fenced yard, where she has no potty issues, but she prefers not to go potty on a leash and will require some additional training in that area. Tootsie is searching for a patient and loving family who can help her feel safe and allow her to blossom into the confident companion she can be. If you think you can provide Tootsie with a nurturing forever home, please fill out an application today! Click apply to start the adoption process.
