About Molly

Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin! Meet Molly! Around 12-13 weeks old and approximately 12 lbs, Molly is bursting with happiness, playfulness, and confidence. While her exact breed mix remains a mystery—possibly Retriever/Shepherd—her loving personality shines through. Molly is delightfully quirky: she loves to "borrow" blankets and shoes from around the house, not to chew but to treasure them on her doggie bed. She adores everyone she meets and gets along wonderfully with the resident dogs in her foster home. Molly’s foster family reports she’s doing an excellent job with house and crate training, having only had an accident on her very first day. She impressively sleeps through the night from 9:30 pm to 6:00 am without making a sound. For this spunky pup, a home with someone around most of the day is required to ensure her training continues. Molly is up to date on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and will need to be spayed at 6 months of age. Please note, Molly is only suited for single family homes or townhomes with a private fenced yard due to her vulnerable immune system until 16 weeks, so she cannot live in apartments or condos or visit public places where unvaccinated dogs may be present. Only adopters aged 25 and over will be considered. Adopting Molly means helping not just her, but also other animals in need! Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
