Tootsie is a sweet, sensitive girl who’s just looking for a calm, loving home where she can truly relax. She thrives in a quiet and consistent environment, where her world feels predictable and safe. Too many new faces or surprises can make her anxious - she prefers slow introductions and a peaceful space without constant visitors. Tootsie will do best with an adopter who understands that patience and structure go a long way.
But once Tootsie feels comfortable, her true personality blossoms - she’s incredibly loving, loyal, and full of heart. Her foster family says she’s brought them so much joy, and it’s easy to see why. With the right person by her side, Tootsie will be the sweetest companion, reminding you every day that love built on trust is the most rewarding kind of all.
If you are interested in adopting Tootsie, please the visit the shelter during our adoption hours.
