Tootsie

My story

HI BESTIEEEE… I’M TOOTSIE (aka Gumdrop) The Vibe (aka… what it feels like to meet me) Okay so like… imagine sunshine + your wedding day + the best concert you’ve ever been to …and then multiply that by 1000. That’s me. I’m 4 years young (I think they made a mistake) and 22lb low-riding exotic bully with googly eyes that may or may not be looking directly at you… or your snacks… or your soul, but wherever I go, the energy shifts. Dogs play more. People smile more. Life just feels better. I’m basically the dorky cheerleader of the entire pack. My Personality (warning: extreme happiness ahead) I don’t just play… I COMMIT. Full body tackles (the loving kind), tug-of-war champion energy, and I will absolutely grab your pant leg to say HI OMG I MISSED YOU. I fumble, I tumble, I roll, I bounce… I’m pure chaos joy in the cutest little low-rider body. And one thing about us exotic bullies? We wake up happy, stay happy, and spread that energy everywhere. My Bestie (and dream scenario) My girl Blake is my ride or die. When she couldn’t play after surgery, I waited… and the SECOND she got cleared I ran after her like I was about to hug-tackle her into another dimension. If we got adopted together? ICONIC. If not, I’ll still thrive—but I do need a playful dog sibling. I’m not built for solo life. ME+FRIEND=LOVE. My Glow-Up (aka look at me NOW) When I came in, my ears were struggling but with meds (pills, ear drops, keep that in stock please) and medicated baths… they are glowing. My ear has opened up beautifully and once my dog glitter grows back, I’m 100% that girl. I eat like a queen—fish-based kibble, raw salmon on top, and probiotics because gut health equals hot girl energy. The Real Talk Section (because I keep it honest) I’m working on potty training every single day and getting better, but I still have accidents sometimes. I did spend a lot of my life kenneled, so I have little calluses on my legs and sometimes… I make questionable snack choices (hehe… turds), but with structure, supervision, and probiotics, I’m improving big time. I just need someone patient who understands where I came from. If you tell me know I look at you and decide but now I make the right decision. My Quirks (aka my extra sparkle) When I walk, my little feet drag, so if we’re out and about I might need some cute shoes or honestly… a wagon would be my dream life. All the fur on my head has grown back in and my glow-up has been next level. I LOVE feeding time, I LOVE dogs, and I LOVE life. My Dream Home I need a home with another playful dog because I thrive with a buddy. I want someone who embraces joy, laughter, and a little chaos, and who will keep helping me grow into the best version of myself. Final Thoughts (from me, your future favorite dog) I’m not just a dog… I’m the energy your house didn’t know it was missing. I’m the sage, the palo santo, the good vibes only. I walk in and everything just feels lighter. If you’re ready for nonstop joy, a built-in best friend, and a whole lot of fun… I’m your girl.
