My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi my name is Tootsie and I am looking for my forever home. I am currently staying with my foster mom and she says I am an absolute dream. When I first came to the shelter I was devastated. I knew that being so old it was unlikely that anybody would want me, but my foster mom thought I was worth saving. If I stay too long, she is worried she may fall in love with me.
I may be an older girl, approximately 9 and only 9 lbs, but I still have a lot of spunk left in me. I walk well on a leash and pep up as soon as it is time to take a walk. I’m a little shy at first and bigger animals intimidate me, but once I feel comfortable, I am more willing to walk amongst them. I co-exist well with cats, dogs and even bunnies, but overly rambunctious animals scare me. Often times, if something scares me, I will simply sit in the corner and wait for you to notice I am missing. My very favorite thing to do is cuddle with my human. I love to help out with chores…ok, I don’t do much but I love to follow my humans around as they work.
I am well-mannered and my foster mom says she can tell I was once a very loved companion and she isn’t sure what circumstances resulted in me wandering around as a stray. I am house trained and would love to find my forever home.
