She loves to flaunt her unique underbite, and after multiple baths, she's well on her way to a healthy coat. Though still working on her housetraining, she's been sleeping soundly in her crate at night. Tootsie is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, ready for her forever home. What are you waiting for?
