Tootsie was surrendered to our Rescue
Volunteers by her "Breeder" due to her
not reproducing any longer. She was
scared and worried, she crouched down
when approached or touched.
Tootsie had been bred again and again
and terribly overbred, there is no doubt
that her body wears the scars of
reproduction.
Since coming into our Rescue Program,
Tootsie has been spayed and our vet has
given her the "Excellence of Health"
blessing.
Tootsie's mammaries will always be
terribly enlarged and hang beneath her
to remind us all of her shameful
owners... but they don't cause her any
health concerns. It's all cosmetic.
Her teats can be cosmetically
altered thru surgical procedure. This
can be an option the adoptive home "may"
consider if they wished. Tootsie isn't
bothered by her "looks"... and we think
she's mighty pretty!!
Tootsie has tendencies that are not so
tolerable, although not many. She shows
love, patience and kindness in most
every situation. She has learned that
shredding her beds is not so wonderful
and her behaviors have changed for the
better during her foster care..
She needs to be supervised with her toys
and beds during initial re-homing. It
may take a few weeks to "understand"
boundaries as Tootsie is an independent
and sometimes lonely gal. She is wonderful in a
crate for times that she can not be with
her humans.
