About Tootie

Meet Tootie! This charming Maltese mix sports creamy white fur accented with gentle apricot markings and soulful brown eyes. Her little tail curls into a sweet coil, adding to her adorable looks. Tootie is a gentle, mellow girl who loves being close to her people, whether it's following you around the house or curling up somewhere cozy nearby. She’s not exactly a lap dog but enjoys being your quiet companion. On walks, Tootie is developing a delightful little bouncy strut. You can see her joy when she spots someone she knows, greeting them with a happy wag of her curled tail. Coming from a home with many dogs, she’s now discovering the benefits of individual attention and a routine. Tootie is learning to be more confident, and her personality brightens with each passing day. She’s been wonderful with other dogs, including her senior foster sister, and respects their space. Tootie is picking up leash walking and enjoys short strolls. Food-motivated and drawn to treats and enrichment puzzles, she appears to be house-trained with regular potty breaks. While she sleeps in a crate beside her foster family’s bed, she’s learning to settle on her own. This little lady is a quiet but loving presence, eager to find a family that will continue nurturing her gentle spirit. Give Tootie the full and happy life she deserves. What are you waiting for?
