Critter Details

See Tootsie’s HomepageGo to our official websiteTootsie is a happy, energetic Lab/Terrier mix puppy with an approximate birthdate of November 30, and her personality is pure sunshine. She is everything you’d hope for in a puppy—playful, curious, silly, and full of life. This girl LOVES to play and could happily spend all day romping around with toys, especially stuffed ones. Watching Tootsie zoom by proudly carrying a stuffie in her mouth is guaranteed to make you smile. She’s fantastic with other dogs and kids, though like most puppies, she’s still learning her manners and can be a bit mouthy as she explores the world. Tootsie is learning the ropes with potty training. While she’s still working on going outside consistently, she reliably uses puppy pads, so she absolutely understands the concept. She is extremely food motivated, which means once outdoor potty training clicks, she’s going to learn fast. She’s also still learning how to walk nicely on a leash, but that puppy enthusiasm and eagerness to please will go a long way with continued training.   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  . Your application will be reviewed by our team and if it is a good fit, we will send to the foster family to set up a meet! The adoption fee of $500 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Although we do our best to describe breed, since our pups all come from shelters we can not and will not make any guarantee on breed or size. We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process – we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Thank you for your understanding.
