About Mollie

Mollie is a petite collie with a long, sable coat and a gentle but wary nature. She likely missed a critical window for socialization, leaving her anxious and fearful in nearly every situation, though she tries to please and responds to requests. Mollie gets along well with dogs of all sizes and breeds and has no issues sharing her space. While she participated in professional training, her deep-seated fears made her unsuitable for the work intended. She quickly learned her routine in foster care, is great in her kennel, and handles leashed walks well. Mollie eats well and her physical care has always been prioritized, but a loving, experienced adopter will need to focus on her confidence and emotional growth. When she is fully recovered from her spay surgery, she’ll be ready for a patient home that understands her needs—her future family will need a physically fenced yard. Ready to fall in love?
