My personality

My story

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

Meet Tootsie 🤍

Tootsie is a 5-year-old black and tan Chihuahua mix with a heart as big as her adorable personality. We believe she was likely dumped when she needed extensive dental care — but thanks to Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary, that chapter is behind her now.

Tootsie has had 19 teeth removed, is fully healed, and is feeling amazing. She’s comfortable, healthy, and ready to start the next chapter of her life being cherished the way she always deserved.

She weighs about 27 pounds and is truly the definition of a loving companion. Tootsie is:

Dog friendly

Cat curious

Loves everyone she meets

House trained & crate trained

Spayed and up to date on vaccines

Tootsie is sweet, affectionate, cuddly, and happiest when she’s close to her people. She has that special kind of gentle, grateful love that makes rescue dogs so unforgettable.

If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will fill your home with warmth, snuggles, and devotion, Tootsie may be your perfect match.

More about this rescue

Tucked away in the wide-open spaces of Northern Nevada, Grandma’s Barn Rescue & Sanctuary is a safe and loving refuge for animals in need. We provide care and shelter to horses, donkeys, and dogs, and dream of expanding our rescue to welcome cows, goats, and other farm animals in the near future.

Our name is inspired by our beloved great-grandmother, who at 99 years old continues to share her deep love for animals. Grandma’s compassion is the heart of our mission—to give every animal a second chance at life, whether through permanent sanctuary, foster care, or adoption into a forever home.

At Grandma’s Barn, we believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, valued, and loved. Whether you’re looking to adopt, foster, support, or simply follow along, we’re so glad you're here. Welcome to the barn—where love lives, and every animal matters.
