Tootles is a gorgeous Husky mix around 2 years old. She was found in the country and no one claimed her. She is great with other dogs, but wants to chase livestock and chickens. She recently had a spa day thanks to a volunteer and got a much-needed brush out. She is a very happy girl who loves people and playing. She is your typical talkative Husky mix so be ready for lots of conversations! Stop in this week to meet Tootles! We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adoption, please complete the online application before you come in to speed up the adoption process. We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! Remember, Tootles’ adoption fee is $50 o during her special week.
