Tootsie

My story

Are you looking for a sweet, gentle dog who gets along well with other dogs and is one of the best mama dogs around? If so, Tootsie might be the perfect fit for you! Tootsie is a 2-year-old, 50-pound Labrador Retriever who will be ready to meet potential adopters and go to her forever home starting July 29th. On June 17th, Tootsie gave birth to an incredible litter of 13 puppies—and while we don’t know if it was her first, we do know it will be her last! Tootsie has done an amazing job caring for her puppies and has been wonderfully tolerant with the other dogs in her foster home. Even just three weeks after giving birth, she enjoys their company and doesn’t mind them being around her babies. Tootsie is still shy when meeting new people, so she will need a patient and understanding family willing to give her time to adjust, recover from weaning, and continue learning how to be an indoor dog. She seems to be housetrained, as she lets her foster know when she needs to go outside. We are unsure if she is crate trained at this time. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a sweet girl who’s already proven what a loving soul she has, Tootsie would love to meet you! If you are interested in adopting Tootsie, please submit an inquiry directly to Greater Charlotte SPCA by visiting charlottespca.org/adopt. The adoption amount is a suggested donation of $200 to $300 dollars based on the pet's age.   **Because our rescue is composed entirely of volunteers, local applications will take precedence. We will accept out of town applications, but any family is responsible for coming to Charlotte to complete a meet and greet. All out of town applicants will also have to be willing to drive to Charlotte to pick up the pet as soon as they are approved to adopt. **  July 21, 2025, 4:02 pm
