Foster location: Appleton Application & Website: .ourpackanimalrescue/adoption.html Bio: Before she was “Mama Tootie,” she was just another scared dog trying to survive—whether that was on the streets or in a home we’ll never know. What we do know is that she found herself giving birth in a high-kill shelter, terrified, and completely out of place for what should’ve been one of the most vulnerable times of her life. And somehow… she still showed up. Tootie gave birth to five healthy boys—Falcon, Sparrow, Finch, Phoenix, and Hawk—and proved to be an incredibly devoted, gentle, and loving mama in the middle of pure chaos. She did her job, and she did it damn well. Now it’s finally her turn. Tootie is very shy and skittish. Fast movements, loud noises, new environments—it’s all overwhelming right now. Life with humans is still a scary concept, and she’s going to need a patient, understanding home that lets her move at her own pace. But here’s the thing—she’s trying. She’s incredibly sweet, enjoys gentle head scratches, and will absolutely accept a good snack as a peace offering. She’s already starting to realize that things like sitting on the patio for a quiet morning coffee… might not be so bad after all. Underneath the fear is a really special dog who just needs someone willing to show her that the world doesn’t have to be so scary anymore. Right now, our focus is simple: keep her safe, help her feel secure, and continue showing her that she’s on the path to a much better life. She’s done raising her babies. Now it’s time someone takes care of her. Our Pack Animal Rescue, Inc. Is an all foster based 501c3 rescue. License #487823. Meet and greets are arranged after an application has been approved.
