About Tootsie
Tootsie is a 2-year-old female Labrador Cross Heeler with a delightful personality. She forms strong bonds quickly with her handler and thrives on affection, enjoying pats and attention. In her previous home, Tootsie wasn't receiving the time and attention she deserved. Therefore, she would greatly appreciate a new home where she can be an active and cherished member of the family. Despite her young age, Tootsie strikes a good balance between being an exercise buddy and appreciating quiet, one-on-one time at home. To keep Tootsie happy and fulfilled, she'll need daily exercise to burn off her energy.
She's excellent with other dogs, displaying polite manners when greeting new canine friends. This makes her a great candidate for a home with other dogs, although secure fencing is a must. Tootsie's ideal home would be reasonably active, matching her energy levels and providing opportunities for exercise and play. Her Labrador traits shine through, showcasing her loyalty and joyful nature. If you're looking for a happy and friendly companion who deserves all the love and attention, Tootsie could be the perfect addition to your family.
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
