About Molly

Molly is a young Anatolian Shepherd, currently based in Soddy Daisy, TN, but can be adopted anywhere in the continental US with transport available. At 4 to 5 months old, she already weighs about 30 lbs and will grow into a large dog. Her brindle coat is short and easy to care for. Molly has a friendly, playful nature—a true puppy who loves to bounce around but also enjoys snuggling with her people. She is gentle, gets along well with other dogs, cats, and even barnyard animals like goats and chickens. Molly is both house and crate trained; she sleeps quietly in her crate at night. She’s already learning basic commands like “sit” and is quick to pick up on structure. Before being rescued, Molly was found living in a drainpipe—frightened, hungry, and covered in fleas and ticks. Now, she’s blossomed into a relaxed, affectionate dog who just needs a stable forever home. She does well with children, but as always, adult supervision is recommended. Molly is spayed, current on all vaccinations, and ready to meet her people. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
