About Molly

Molly is a playful Pomeranian who thrives on human companionship. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, her true love is people. A potential canine housemate should have a similar temperament, and an introduction is necessary to ensure harmony. Molly showcases a mild resource guarding behavior with food, so a home with children under 10 may not be advisable. She tends to eat quickly if someone approaches her while she's dining, and kids may not be adept at recognizing the signs that should prompt them to back off. Experienced owners who can implement positive reinforcement training will be a great fit to help Molly settle in. A calm presence, Molly enjoys outdoor walks and affection from her humans. Regular veterinary care is important to keep her healthy, and establishing a grooming routine every 1 to 2 weeks will maintain her coat in great shape. If you think you can provide a warm, attentive environment, Molly is ready to bring joy to your home. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
