Story
Mollie is a beautiful nearly 3-year-old Shepherd mix who`s ready to find her forever home! With her gentle nature and calm demeanor, she’s the perfect addition to a family looking for a loving and easy-going pup.Mollie has spent most of her life as an indoor dog, and it shows in her well-mannered, affectionate personality. She’s treat-motivated, which makes her a quick learner, and she already knows how to `sit` on command! She’s also a big fan of belly rubs, so if you’re ready to spoil her with some TLC, she’s more than happy to return the love.Though she’s been in playgroups and is very calm around other dogs, Mollie prefers a home without cats—those furry felines just aren’t her thing! But with people, she’s all love, and she thrives in a calm, stable environment.While Mollie is usually a laid-back girl, don’t be surprised if she gets the random zoomies when she’s feeling excited—she’s got a playful side that’ll keep you laughing!Mollie would do best in a home where she can be the relaxed, loyal companion she’s meant to be. If you’re looking for a sweet, easy-going dog who loves affection, treats, and belly rubs (with a bit of playful energy mixed in), Mollie could be your perfect match!Come meet Mollie today and see if she’s the loving, calm, and occasionally zooming addition your family needs!
