Meet Tootsie

PLAYFUL, AFFECTIONATE & FUN:  Approx. 6 months old / Approx. 30 lbs. and growing Hi, my name is Tootsie!  I came to Mostly Mutts from animal control, and I’ve been soaking up all the attention I can from the nice shelter volunteers who come to care for me.  I have heard them say that I am now ready to find a family of my very own, which makes me super happy – and excited for the great life that awaits me!   • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS:  I haven’t liked the dogs I’ve met at Mostly Mutts, so no dogs for now.  I may be tested again in the near future. / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet, so let’s meet and best no toddlers that I may bump over, as I am a bit of a jumpy and mouthy puppy right now when I play.   • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL:  I’m a happy and playful pup who has charmed the volunteers with my super sweet and friendly demeanor.  I have lots of puppy energy, though I may crouch down if I’m unsure about something as I’m still learning.  I’m affectionate, young, and fun.  As beautiful as I am loving, you are sure to fall in love! / My energy level is 5 - 7. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY:  I’m looking for a family that will teach me everything I need to know to grow up and become a wonderful adult dog - so get ready for some training with your new best friend.  I am a student in the Mostly Mutts University training program, where I am learning lots of great doggie commands with my trainer.  I’ve already mastered the ‘sit’ command, so check back soon to see what else I have learned. / My crate manners are good at Mostly Mutts. / I've been having accidents on the shelter schedule, so please continue to be consistent with me on a good schedule, so I can master my potty skills. • LIKES/DISLIKES:  I love to play and enjoy my time in the play yard with the volunteers – and some fun toys, of course!  I’d certainly enjoy a fenced yard in my new home where we can have lots of fun play sessions together. When it is time to relax, I love all the petting that comes my way. / I can’t think of things I don’t like yet since I’m young, but I’m sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, exercise, and training. • MEDICAL:  I've started my puppy shots, but you will have to finish these for me as I grow.  I’m also micro-chipped and spayed.  I came in with some mild hair thinning on my face, but it’s growing nicely now. If you’re ready for the fun and excitement of having a puppy as well as the training commitment, then let’s meet!  My adoption fee is $299.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.
