About Molly

Meet Molly! Molly is a 7-year-old Shih Tzu, tipping the scales at around 12 pounds. She embodies sweetness and love, ready to finally find her forever family. Though her past with a breeder meant she missed out on much of the affection and experiences that enrich a dog’s life, Molly is incredibly friendly and eager to connect. She may initially be shy with new people, but she warms up quickly, showing a genuine desire to make new friends. This affectionate girl craves cuddles and companionship. If you’re sitting down, don’t be startled if she tries to jump into your lap. After waiting so long for love, she deserves those cozy moments by your side. She thrives in her foster home, getting along well with other dogs and cats alike. At night, she sleeps soundly in her crate, but given the choice, she’d much prefer to be snuggled next to you. Molly is progressing well with her potty training, using both pee pads and outdoor breaks. As she transitions into a forever home, continued encouragement will help her gain confidence and routine. This gentle soul, who has overcome her difficult beginnings, is ready to offer so much love, making her a wonderful companion for a lucky family. Molly is spayed, current on vaccinations, and will receive a health certificate prior to adoption. If you’re searching for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to share love and be cherished, Molly could be the perfect fit for your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
