Tootsie #532
Before inquiring about a dog, please complete an Adoption Application.
Tootsie is a 5 1/2 yr old mini (possible toy) Aussie, she stands about 14″ tall. She is a black tri (docked tail) and just as cute
as a button (her coat
had been shaved a couple months ago so will grow back long). Right now she weighs around 24lb but should probably weigh more like 18 or 19 lbs (yes she is very overweight). She is a little on the shy side at first but quickly warms up. She follows me all around the house and then settles at my feet.
Tootsie was a little growly with my dogs and if they got in her face she’d snap but they all know to keep their distance and she’s fine with that! She is now doing great with them but does get into a scrap here and there, nothing serious. She would be fine as an only dog or with one other dog that is friendly and playful.
Tootsie rides very well in the car and seems to enjoy it, she’ll jump right in! She walks fairly well on a leash. I think small children would be a bit overwhelming. You should see Tootsie rip around the yard! She then runs to the water bowl and starts digging in it, water everywhere…it’s a mess but it’s so cute (only the outside water bowl NOT the inside one)! I decided to get out the wading pool, she will go in it and start digging in it and then just lay there like AHHHHH. She loves it! Tootsie is also a great sleeping buddy. She lays in one place, doesn’t move around and is very content to sleep with you (and she doesn’t take up much room!). She would make a nice traveling companion, nice and portable.
Tootsie is fostered in Deltona, FL If interested please contact Kim at flaussierescue@cfl.rr.com
