Tootsie - Shih Tzu and Yorkshire Terrier Dog for Adoption in Mission Viejo, California

Welcome Tootsie!

Meet Tootsie, an adorable little girl who is ready to leave her past behind and find a loving forever home of her own.

Tootsie is approximately 3–5 years old, weighs just 12 pounds, and resembles a Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix.

This sweet girl found herself in a high-kill shelter after being discovered in a field with bite wounds to her neck. Thankfully, she has healed and is now ready for her next chapter—a life filled with love, comfort, and security.

Tootsie is the ultimate velcro dog! She loves being close to her person and will happily stick by your side for cuddles, pets, and companionship. She has a calm, gentle personality, gets along well with other dogs, and appears to be house-trained. While she can get along with canine friends, what Tootsie really wants is someone to call her own.

Could you be the special person Tootsie has been waiting for? She has so much love to give and would make a wonderful, devoted companion.
