Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 8-year-old Tootsie.

Here is Baypath’s description of Tootsie:

“Introducing our newest senior, little Tootsie! This little lady, like a Tootsie Roll, is sweet as can be. She loves being around people, in their laps or in their arms. Tootsie also loves to shower you with kisses to show you how much she loves your company.

“She’s about 8 years old and is looking for a home to retire in. She still has a bit of energy for relaxing strolls and toy play in the yard, but mostly loves to snuggle up with you.

“We think Tootsie wouldn’t mind a home with older children who know how to kick back and relax. We also think she wouldn’t mind sharing her retirement with another like-minded small dog.

“Tootsie does have chronic skin allergies. Please ask staff for more details!

“If you think Tootsie could be the sweet senior for you, please reach out today!”
