Tootsies is a 12 year old, 11 lb. Dachshund.
Sweet Tootsies absolutely loves everyone she meets (kids included!) She is just the sweetest little lady and is happiest when she is with her humans. Because of her age, she is very low energy and would love to spend the day lounging on the couch beside her people getting lots of pets and cuddles. Tootsies does have some potty accidents and can wear a diaper or use a pee pad. She will need an adopter who understands that she tries hard, but sometimes will have accidents. Tootsies does have some issues with her trachea and for that reason cannot use a collar, she will need to be walked or taken out on a harness only. This sweet girl will melt your heart and never leave your side. If you are looking for a low-energy sidekick and true best friend, Tootsies is your gal!
**Tootsies will need a special adopter who understands that she has some medical issues because of her age such as a collapsed trachea and some missing teeth from a prior severe dental disease**
