Meet Tootsie D6061 - ADOPTION BEING FINALIZED

I’m Tootsie, but my foster parents have been calling me Lily! Before coming to rescue, I didn’t have much of a chance to experience life and all the best things about being a dog, so I’m making up for lost time! I live with a couple other small-ish dogs and a couple huge cats, and we all get along like we’ve been besties forever! I go to the office sometimes and like all the other dogs and new human friends, too! I LOVE to be snuggled and loved on (lots of petting, please!), and the closer I am to my humans, the better! My foster mom says I’m like a little bouncy shadow because I’m always interested in what she’s doing and following her around with my tail wagging, but I’m also super chill and calm when we’re watching TV on the couch or going for a ride in the car. I am understandably timid around new things, but with a little encouragement and time to check them out, I’m comfortable. I’m definitely curious about everything – it’s all new to me! My foster parents have been working with me on navigating stairs, but I’m not quite sure about them yet because I’m a tiny peanut and they’re almost as tall as me. For now, I’d really love for you to carry me up and down any stairs. We’re also working on potty training; it’s a new concept for me but whatever they say about new tricks is totally untrue! I’m definitely learning, and while I still have occasional accidents in the house, I can keep my crate dry at night. As long as you take me out regularly, I should be just fine and maybe you can help me learn how to best tell you when I need to go. Speaking of the crate, I do sleep in mine at night, but I like to be near my humans. It’s very comforting. During the day, I have free reign of the house with the other dogs and mostly navigate between dog beds and the toy bin but have proven myself very trustworthy to be out of my crate for several hours at a time! My fun personality is really starting to bloom, you know, like a Lily, and I’m excited for this fresh new chapter of my life! I’d love to meet you and be part of your family bouquet!

Adoption Process
Our adoption process includes an adoption application. After reviewing your application and contacting the vet and personal references, a meeting is scheduled between the potential adopter and the pet, in the foster's home or a neutral animal friendly place. If there are any resident animals within the home, it is required that they meet at this time. After the meeting, a home visit by one our representatives is REQUIRED prior to finalizing any adoption and we must meet all members of the household where the pet will be living sometime during the adoption process. 6 month post-adoption check in is completed.
