Story
Meet Totes as in Totes Adorbs because this sweet girl is totally adorable. Totes is built like a potato, powered by sass, fueled by snacks. She loves everyone one she meets including other dogs. Totes loves a good snuggle under a blanket, a soft squeaky toy, dogs that like to run for 1-2 minutes then nap and laps. She is currently living with three other dogs in her foster home and she is doing well with them. She definitely enjoys the company of the smaller fella in the home. She has been good with kids as young as 2. Totes is house-trained and crate trained and she loves a car ride. She is just a great little girl. If interested please complete our adoption application at www.freedom-ride.org
