About Molly

Molly, also called Big Mama, is a 3-year-old terrier/mixed-breed with a calm, affectionate nature. She’s quiet and loves being close to her people, often choosing the sofa or chair near you as her favorite spot. Molly’s personality blends sweetness and playfulness with curiosity and attentive intelligence. She’s house and crate trained—she’ll even go to the door when she needs out—and rarely barks unless she spots wildlife outside or gets startled by the vacuum. With patience, her nervousness around new sounds is improving. Molly knows some basic commands and is making steady progress with recall and leash manners, but she’s strong on leash and benefits from clear, consistent direction. She’s happiest with people home most of the time, thriving in environments where she can stick close and enjoy learning alongside her family.
