About Molly

Molly is an 8-year-old Labrador Retriever with a gentle disposition and plenty of charm. Her journey began in Mexico where, as a puppy, she suffered a broken leg. Despite this rough start, Molly found support through a rescue group that secured her a loving home for six years until her owner passed away. She then spent two more years with another caregiver, but shifts in circumstances mean she’s back with rescue now. Molly gets along well with both dogs and cats, and she’s house trained. She enjoys daily walks, although her back left leg, which healed with a quirky outward set, gives her a recognizable little limp. Her veterinarian recommends leaving her leg as it is since she gets around just fine. Molly weighs about 40 pounds and brings plenty of affection to everyone she meets. What are you waiting for?
