More About Tootsie

Our beautiful Tootsie is a 7-8 yr old SF in need of a special home, for Tootsie is blind. As sweet as could be, Tootsie was abandoned shortly after the Denver ban was announced - left tied to the door of a shelter, Tootsie was the first Denver dog to come to Mariah's Promise in February 2005. As a result of two vet's exams, it appears that Tootsie's blindness is partially due to a head trauma. In February 2007, Tootsie's left eye was removed due to Glycoma. She is fully recovered and doing GREAT!!!!! Whatever was done to Tootsie did not deter her love for people - so typical of this amazing breed! Tootsie is not comfortable around other dogs, so she would need to be an only child. Teenagers only in the home and probably wouldn't do well with cats. Regardless, Tootsie is a very happy, social, sweet, loving girl who proudly shows off her stuffed animals. Only the BEST OF HOMES would deserve this treasure of a girl!!! If you can provide Tootsie a loving, responsible family, please let us know. A background check, home visit and experience with blind dogs a must!
