About Molly

Meet Molly!

If you're looking for a playful, sweet, and fun-loving companion, Molly is ready to steal your heart! Molly is a 50lb, 1-year-old spayed lab mix who absolutely loves to play. Whether she's romping around with another dog or inviting her humans to join in the fun, she's always ready for a good time. Her play style is energetic but gentle—she loves bouncing around, running circles under her dog friends, and giving playful little nibbles to their ankles or hind legs 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.

Even though she's enthusiastic about making new friends, Molly has wonderful dog manners. She happily greets other dogs with a wagging tail and a curious sniff, and she's respectful when another dog lets her know they're done playing. She's enjoyed playing with dogs of all sizes, from a tiny 6-pound Yorkie to a 60-pound Husky! Molly walks nicely on leash and is continuing to build her confidence with new experiences. 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.

Ideal Home

Molly has a moderate energy level overall but quickly kicks it into high gear when there's a playmate around. She 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. Molly 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. Molly is 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.
