Story
PLEASE NOTE! Unless stated otherwise, our dogs and puppies are located in Arkansas, and transported to the north/northeast once adopted. We do occasionally have dogs/puppies placed in foster homes in the north/northeast. In the cases where the pet is somewhere other than Arkansas, it will be noted beside the name of the pet.Molly 2.0 (because we already have 1 Molly listed) This sweet girl was abandoned when her owner went into assisted living. She is a beautiful lab who is almost 10 years old. Molly is good with other dogs and is very submissive to them. She shows no interest in squirrels or other animals and doesn't seem to have a prey drive at all, so we believe she would be a good addition to a home with cats. She is a gentle old gal who really misses being doted on by her owner. She is in an excellent foster home where she is loved and treated exceptionally well, but there are many dogs there and she misses having that 1 on 1 attention that she got in her previous home. She is shy at first but loves everyone she meets. Because she is more mature and past the jumping and chewing stage, she would be a good nanny dog for a home with children. Please think about giving this sweet girl a home. She doesn't bother anything, is quiet, and very well behaved. You hardly even know she's there. She won't make any demands on you, but will gratefully accept any love, comfort, and snuggles you can spare. We just want to see her live out her time in comfort and love.  Located in Arkansas, but transport is available. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them at one of the following times/locations.  Harrisburg, PA 2am Fridays Port Jervis, NJ 5am Fridays  Southington, CT 8am Fridays  East Hartford, CT 11am Fridays    To apply, please fill out the adoption app: https://form.jotform.com/212690945239059   Message or email apps.aasr@gmail.com with any questions.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.Our typical adoption fee for puppies younger than 6 months old is $400, and for older puppies and adults, the usual fee is $350.
