About Molly Socks

Molly Socks weighs just under 50 lbs and brings plenty of energy to the table. There’s clearly some German Shepherd in her lineage, but the rest of her mix hasn’t revealed itself yet. After spending her early years chained up outside, she’s made a smooth transition to living indoors—and it shows. She alternates between enjoying belly rubs on the couch and keeping herself occupied, needing both affection and activity. Molly is about three years old and is looking for a home that gets her balance of sweetness and energy. Her adopters will need to provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation to keep her content. She’s open-hearted with people—she’s never met a stranger—but new situations can make her a little anxious. With time, she’s building confidence. She would do best in a cat-free home, and her compatibility with other dogs depends on the match. Molly's best suited for families who can spot her unique spark and commit to giving her time and engagement. Home visits are kept within a two-hour drive of Morganton, NC. Ready to fall in love?
