About Molly

Molly is a sweet little soul who came to us from Yuma. Our vet estimates her age at 9-10 years, and she weighs around 7-8 lbs, making her a charming small companion. Molly is affectionate and loves people of all ages, currently living comfortably with children. However, in her foster home, she has shown some resource guarding tendencies toward the other dogs, indicating she may do best as the only pet or with guidance in co-existing with others. Molly is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready for her forever family. She will also receive a dental cleaning while in the rescue. Although she has some hair loss on her back—possibly due to being a Chinese Crested mix or alopecia—our vet has found her to be otherwise healthy. While she's not fond of the crate, she walks nicely on a leash and is mastering her potty routine. Molly could be available for foster-to-adopt to someone willing to bring her in for her dental cleaning, ideally in Tucson or Phoenix. Don't miss the chance to welcome this loving soul into your home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
