About Molly

Meet Molly, a delightful 7-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. This little girl has a charming personality that combines spunk with a loving nature. Having lived with one person since she was a puppy, she enjoys her daily leashed walks and feels comfortable in a fenced yard. Molly is friendly; she warms up quickly to new people, although she was a bit suspicious of the camera. She has a knack for alerting her family when someone approaches the door. House trained and well-behaved, Molly hasn't had an accident in years, knows commands like "sit," and loves to cuddle. Due to her owner's health issues and upcoming move, Molly needs a new home. She’s played with other dogs before, but has never lived with one. While she's curious about cats, they usually prefer to keep their distance. She's had positive interactions with older children but would do best in a home without small kids. Molly is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for a new chapter. What are you waiting for?
