About Mollie

Mollie is a 6-year-old, 10 lb Yorkie/Chinese Crested mix. This rare girl seeks a loving family who can appreciate her unique personality. Mollie embraces the comforts of home and prefers to lounge on a soft couch rather than go on adventures. She's not a fan of walks or car rides, often hiding when taken out. In familiar settings, however, she comes alive with joy, greeting guests with excitement and warmth. Mollie may not enjoy being picked up and isn't the cuddly type, but her playful spirit shines through when she’s close by, enjoying some ear scratches. Though she can be nervous at times, Mollie has never shown aggression. She occasionally barks when startled, but due to previous circumstances, she has been debarked, making her vocalizations sound quite unusual—almost alien-like. This little lady loves meal time and will spin with excitement while waiting for her food. With a history of allergies, Mollie is on a specific kibble diet and requires occasional allergy shots, especially in spring during flare-ups. Her back is thin-haired, a characteristic of her breed, which may need regular grooming. Mollie gets along well with cats and would thrive with another small dog companion. She is housebroken, crate trained, and does well when left alone; just ensure she can't reach any food while unsupervised. Mollie is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to find a home that appreciates her quirks. Those who spend time with her quickly fall in love. Think you are the one? Submit an application!
