Molly is a small, young female.  She is a sweet, timid girl who sticks her tongue out in the cutest way every now and then.  When she does her morning stretches, her little feet come up off the floor.  She is just adorable!  She enjoys playing with rubber squeaky toys and snuggling in her cozy, soft dog bed (which will go to her new home with her).  

She is cautious and skittish.  It takes her a while to settle in and begin to trust her family.  She is very suspicious of normal household noises so it may take a while to get used to her new home.  

Molly is crate trained and prefers to sleep in her bed in her own crate at night. She recently started sleeping in bed with us at night but will usually ends up back in her crate before morning.  She has torn up magazines and chewed on shoes when alone so crating or kenneling when you are away is a must. Molly has come to love and trust the adult females in her foster home.  However, she is still afraid of men and school age children and will bark, run away, and hide.  She has trouble coming back inside when our teenage son is home.  She is an escape risk, and very fast, so doors need to be guarded.

Molly gets along very well with the young resident dogs in her foster home.  She is most confident when around the other dogs so a home with another dog is best.

She loves to wrestle and play with her friends and sniff out rabbits and squirrels in the fully fenced backyard.  Molly is also good with cats.  She has followed the cats around to see what they are up to, but otherwise she leaves them alone.

She has come to know the word treat and will come if she knows something tasty is being offered. She has learned the command “Sit”, and is working on learning others. She would do best in a female, adult household with a fully fenced backyard and another dog.  She should be on a tie out or leash until she is settled in; convincing her to come back inside can be very difficult!  It will take her a little longer to trust her humans, especially men.  Patience and consistency are the key to this little girl’s heart, but she is well worth the wait!
