Bootsie's Story

Hi everyone! I am a petite and pretty 8-month-old, 25 lb Shepherd mix named Boots, but everyone calls me Bootsie. I was one of a litter of five stray puppies brought into the Port Lavaca, Texas Animal Shelter and promptly set for euthanasia. It’s a hard life in this region. With lots of ranches and industry, working dogs and stray dogs, the shelter is too small to house everyone. Thankfully, 4 Little Paws Rescue has been taking us all in, fully vetting everyone, and placing us in foster homes from here to San Antonio!<br/><br/>My foster mom says I’m a very sweet girl, a diamond in the “ruff,” shy at first, but after a little while I feel safe and happy, and wagging so hard I get the full-body wiggles! I love squeaky dog toys, lick mats with peanut butter or pumpkin, following my foster mom from room to room, and playtime with my doggy friends of any size. I am affectionate, love pets and sweet baby talk, and my favorite place to lounge is on the floor or on a nearby doggy bed. I’m smart, and I’m a people pleaser, very much a good girl, easily redirected from any mischievous puppy shenanigans. I am doing great with housebreaking, rarely have accidents, and will go outside when directed. I am not picky about food; in fact, I love anything offered, and I am gentle when taking a treat from your hand. I was very shy on picture day, but always sweet and gentle.
