Molly

Description

Meet Molly, a beautiful 2-year-old German Shepherd/Labrador mix weighing 73 pounds, with a heart as big as her smile! This sweet, affectionate girl loves her people and greets them with the happiest welcomes. She’s a wonderful blend of loving companionship and independent spirit, with a clever, resourceful side that makes her a quick learner. Molly is fully house-trained, well-adjusted to home life, and comfortable spending a few hours on her own. She’s ready to settle into a forever home where she can finally enjoy all the love and security she deserves.Molly has an adorable way of communicating, sometimes breaking into a little Husky-style song when she wants attention or has something to say. Her favorite pastimes include sunbathing on the deck, napping on cool wooden floors, exploring the world on walks, and working to uncover treats in her beloved wobble Kong. She’s still learning her leash manners and will benefit from continued practice as she discovers all the wonderful sights and smells the world has to offer.Molly is friendly with everyone she meets and would make a lovely family companion. Because she’s a big girl who gets excited about meeting people, she may accidentally knock over very young children in her enthusiasm, so a little supervision and guidance will help her shine. Her compatibility with other dogs depends on the individual dog, and her experience with cats is limited, so careful introductions would be important. Molly has some prey drive and enjoys watching squirrels and bunnies, so small animals may catch her attention.Molly’s early life on a northern reservation helped shape her into the resilient, adaptable girl she is today. After everything she’s been through, she’s ready to enjoy the simple pleasures of home: a loving family, cozy naps, fun adventures, and people who make her feel safe.A fenced yard would be a bonus, but it isn’t a requirement as long as Molly’s family is committed to regular walks and outdoor adventures. She would love having her people around often, but she handles a few hours alone very well and doesn’t need to be crated when left home.Molly is the kind of dog who will become your loyal best friend, happily sharing her affection, her funny little songs, and her joyful greetings every time you walk through the door. She has so much love to give and is ready to find the family who will cherish her forever.
