Meet Tootsie Roll

Tootsie Roll is ~1.5 years old — short but mighty, and overflowing with heart. She’s a tender soul who can be a little shy at first, needing just a bit of time and reassurance to know she’s safe. But once she does, her whole personality blossoms — and you’ll see just how loving and loyal she truly is.

When she’s comfortable, Tootsie Roll’s joy is contagious. She loves playing with her toys, racing around the yard with her foster brother, and then curling up on the couch for a cozy snuggle. She’s incredibly gentle in everything she does, and she walks beautifully on a leash — happy to stay close to her person’s side.

Tootsie Roll has amazed us with how quickly she learns. She figured out how to use the dog door all on her own just by watching her foster brother — no training needed! She absolutely loves mornings and gets so excited to see her humans. Her favorite way to say good morning is by rubbing her lips and cheeks all over us — it’s her special way of showing affection. And when she plays or eats, she makes the sweetest little piggy noises that always make us laugh. She’s growing in confidence every day and continues to surprise us with her gentle, curious, and loving personality.

We think that Tootsie Roll would thrive in a calm home, especially with another friendly dog who can help her feel confident and show her the ropes. She’s learning every day that the world isn’t so scary, and that love and kindness are all around her.

Tootsie Roll may start out shy, but once she trusts you, she’ll be your truest friend — affectionate, playful and full of love. She’s such a special little dog, ready to find the home where she can finally exhale and know she’s safe, cherished and home for good. ❤️

More about this rescue

LOVEPAWS was founded as an animal intake prevention program to help keep pets in homes and out of shelters. To do this, we offer various types of assistance to pet owners including our pet food pantry and our re-homing service. We help find new homes for pets whose owners cannot keep them but do not want to surrender their pet to the shelter. While our focus is on Prince George’s County, MD, we offer these services to the entire DC Metro area.

Our scope and mission has grown quickly since we were founded in 2019 and we now pull dogs and cats from open-admission, high-intake shelters in MD, VA and other Southern states. This has expanded our rescue to be able to save dogs and cats of all breeds. Our expanded mission is to save the lives of abandoned dogs and cats and place them in loving and permanent homes. While we are a non-breed-specific rescue, we are a pittie-friendly rescue that has a soft spot for the pit bulls at the Prince George’s County animal shelter. They face the heartbreaking reality of the county’s pit bull ban which makes them unavailable for adoption to the public. We are committed to stepping forward whenever we can and wherever there is the greatest need.

LOVEPAWS is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are an exclusively foster-based rescue with our foster network spanning MD, DC, and VA.
