Tootsie
Tootsie: 13-year-old Tootsie joined the Leashes End family in October 2019. Kelley, who is a groomer, took on Tootsie as pro bono case in August, 2019. This poor girl desperately needed to be groomed and to see the vet. Her fur was so matted it was painful; her filthy skin beneath was covered in sores. Her nails were so overgrown she could barely walk. She could scarcely peer out to see beyond the shock of fur covering her eyes. Ugh… and the smell of her! But when Kelley called to schedule Tootsie’s next grooming, she learned that her owner had moved out of state and left Tootsie behind! We immediately took her into the Leashes End family so we could tend to her numerous veterinary and other needs! Tootsie blossomed into a very confident, sweet, and affectionate girl, but with a wild streak, making her a perfect Leashes End pup. Tootsie passed away in early 2024. RIP, Tootsie; may your memory be a blessing.
