My Name is: Tootsie, 2 years old
My Story: It’s hot, humid and buggy in the middle of an Arkansas summer, but that’s where I found myself, out in a pen with my six little newborns. None of us were wanted and I wasn’t allowed inside, so no comfort was in sight. Fortunately, local rescuers heard of our plight and, partnering with Safe Harbor, got us away from there and to the safety and care of an excellent vet hospital. We were all filthy dirty, I was exhausted, and my puppies had a fungal disease. I needed care for poor nutrition, dehydration and a tick-borne disease. We remained at the hospital for several weeks with Safe Harbor’s rescue partner checking on us daily and making sure we were recuperating and thriving. My babies loved playing with her. Finally, it was time for us to board a Pilots and Paws flight to Denver where our forever homes awaited us. What a lucky mom and litter of babies we were!
