Tootsie's Story

We call it Puppy Love. Cupid must have been working overtime, because this Valentine's season brought us six sweet little treats: Twix, Tootsie, Cookie, Snickers, Hershey, and Rolo! These pups were found as strays, so their story before arriving here is a mystery. Lab Shepherd mixes maybe? Your guess is as good as ours. What we do know is that they are full of love and personality - sweet, wiggly, excited, energetic, and always ready to play or hand out puppy kisses. They are true blank slates and will likely grow into large breed dogs, which means now is the perfect time to help them learn the world is a safe and happy place. They'll need families committed to socialization, structure, and positive training so they can grow into the amazing companions we know they're meant to be. If you've been waiting for a little Puppy Love this Valentine's Day, come meet these sweet treats. Your perfect match might just have four paws and puppy breath!
