About Molly

Meet Molly!

Molly is a 50lb, 1-year-old spayed lab mix who is as sweet and playful as can be. She is a happy girl who absolutely loves to play, whether she's romping with other dogs or inviting her humans to join in the fun. Her play style is energetic but gentle. She loves bouncing around, running circles under her dog friends, and giving playful little nibbles to keep the game going. With people, she'll gently tap you with her paw or rest her paws on your hands to ask for attention, often rewarding you with sweet kisses and little affectionate nibbles.

Molly has wonderful dog manners and happily greets other dogs with a wagging tail and a curious sniff. She's respectful when another dog lets her know they're done playing and has enjoyed playing with dogs of all sizes. Passing cars can sometimes startle her, but she's making great progress with gentle exposure and reassurance. She's fully house-trained and loves relaxing in her crate, although she doesn't need to be crated when you're away. She's trustworthy when left loose in the house and has shown no signs of resource guarding around food, treats, or toys. She has met children ages 5 and 9 and was comfortable around them. While she hasn't had much interaction with cats, she has remained calm and non-reactive when seeing one on a walk.

Ideal Home

Molly would thrive in a home with another playful dog, but she'd also do well with an active adult or a family with playful children who can help meet her social and exercise needs. She's looking for a family that will embrace her playful spirit, encourage her confidence as she continues experiencing the world, and give her plenty of opportunities for fun, adventure, and love.

Ongoing Health

Molly is spayed and up-to-date on vaccinations.

Training & Support

Molly is continuing to build her confidence with new experiences. She walks nicely on a leash.
