Quote from a 5 year old critic - "Toodie is the best dog EVER!"
Toodie recently went on a Dog Day Out and here's what her DDO buddy had to say!
"Sweet Toodie and I had the nicest day relaxing and getting in some much needed rest after her spay. She took a few minutes to warm up to me but once she realized she could trust me, she was all for the snuggles and pets. She didn't have any accidents all day, was quiet, rode wonderfully in the car, and walked so nicely on the leash."
2nd DDO:
"Meet Toodie! She's a 4 and a half year old girl Mike and I had the pleasure of taking out last weekend. We picked her up for her Dogs Day Out, she jumped in the car and laid down ready to go wherever. First thing we did was take her to get her picture with the Easter Bunny at the Natural Dog in High Point. She non stop snorts in the most adorable way when she's pleased! Then a walk at the Arboretum, Ozzie's for ice cream (which she wasn't sure about at first then wagged her tail continuously with every lick to the delight of everyone watching) Then to Hops Spring Garden for lunch. Toodie is a snorting joyous girl. I don't know if I've ever met a dog who LOVES people the way she does. She greeted everyone, and I mean everyone, we encountered calmly and kindly. She especially loves kids, just staring at them and wagging her tail waiting for them to come say hello. She was a big hit everywhere she went. One person we encountered said you can 100% tell this girl is ready for a family life. She will make a fantastic addition to anyone's family."

"Toodie is a special, sweet girl that my son and I had the privilege to take on a DDO today
4 years old
Spayed
HW negative
Food/treat motivated
We started our day at Gibson Park where we walked the trails. I immediately learned that Toodie LOVES to sniff, she had nose to ground almost the entire time and makes the cutest snorting sound
After leaving the park we headed to Sweetwater Court Private Dog Playground and Gardens which is always my favorite part. She sniffed around some more, ran around with my son and I, and also just enjoyed relaxing a bit.
Next, we cooled off in my apartment for a bit before heading downtown. Toodie is so sweet with people and wants to go up to everyone for a pet. She got lots of attention downtown. She really enjoyed getting a pup cup from Awoo coffee shop and lots of pets here.
Lastly, we walked back to my apartment and Toodie just snoozed beside me on the couch the whole time. She made me pick her up and put her on the couch she must've been tired after our day full of fun.
Things to know:
She is house trained.
VERY sweet and loving. Just a precious angel.
I would say medium energy. She enjoys running around and walking, but also content to sit with you or lay beside you on the couch after burning some energy.
She does pull hard on the leash, but gets better the more energy she burns. She is a strong girly! Especially when following a scent. Apparently, she was previously a loose leash walker, but her stress has had an impact on this. I think she'll improve in time once in a permanent home.
Rides great in the car. She lays down almost the whole time and also likes to catch a breeze looking out the window.
She took treats very gently, even from my 5 year olds tiny hand.
Good with small children. She was very gentle and sweet with my son. She never knocked him down, never jumped on him, he even fell on the ground near her and she just waited for him to get up."
