Story
*Meet Molly* Molly is a beautiful 6-year-old German Shepherd–St. Bernard mix with a big heart and a loyal spirit. Calm and gentle at home, she loves spending her days relaxing nearby or quietly following you from room to room. But once she’s outside, her playful and adventurous side shines through — she loves to run, explore, and take in all the sights and smells around her. Molly is deeply devoted and protective of her people — the kind of companion who will always have your back. She would thrive as the only pet in the home, as she doesn’t get along with other dogs and can be wary of strangers. Molly had a tough start to life. She was sold far too early, at only four weeks old, and likely came from a stressful environment. Because she didn’t have the proper time with her mother, she missed out on learning some early dog-to-dog social cues. Despite that, she’s incredibly intelligent and full of love — she just needs patience, understanding, and a calm, stable environment. Loud noises and too much excitement can make Molly anxious, so a peaceful home without children or other pets is best. She can be a little uncertain at first and may seem ready for pets before changing her mind — a bit like a cat! With time and trust, though, she forms deep bonds with her people and shows her true, affectionate self. She can snap when she feels afraid or threatened so a calm and understanding family is a must. Molly is also leash-reactive, so a fully fenced yard would be ideal to give her space to run and burn off energy safely. She absolutely loves adventures up north, exploring the woods, and breathing in the fresh air. She’s been loved and well cared for her whole life, but she’s ready for a new chapter — one with an experienced adopter who understands sensitive, loyal dogs like her. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will love you unconditionally and appreciate the calm moments by your side, Molly might just be the perfect match. Molly is vaccinated, microchipped, has his flea, tick & heartworm prevention, is sterilized and will come with her medical booklet. Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things! Voici Molly Molly est une magnifique chienne de 6 ans, un mélange de Berger Allemand et de Saint-Bernard, avec un grand cœur et un esprit loyal. Calme et douce à la maison, elle adore passer ses journées à relaxer tout près de vous ou à vous suivre tranquillement d’une pièce à l’autre. Mais une fois dehors, son côté joueur et aventurier ressort — elle aime courir, explorer et profiter de toutes les odeurs et découvertes autour d’elle. Molly est très attachée et protectrice envers ses humains — le genre de compagne qui aura toujours votre dos. Elle serait plus heureuse comme seule animal dans la maison, car elle ne s’entend pas bien avec les autres chiens et peut se méfier des étrangers. Elle peut réagir brusquement et snapper quand elle se sent apeurée ou menacée, donc une famille calme et compréhensive est essentielle. Molly n’a pas eu un début de vie facile. Elle a été vendue beaucoup trop jeune, à seulement quatre semaines, et vient probablement d’un environnement stressant. Comme elle n’a pas eu assez de temps avec sa mère, elle n’a pas pu apprendre certaines bases de communication entre chiens. Malgré tout, elle est extrêmement intelligente et remplie d’amour — elle a simplement besoin de patience, de compréhension et d’un environnement calme et stable. Les bruits forts et trop d’agitation peuvent la rendre anxieuse, donc un foyer paisible, sans enfants ni autres animaux, serait idéal pour elle. Elle peut être un peu incertaine au début et sembler vouloir des câlins avant de changer d’idée — un peu comme un chat! Mais avec du temps et de la confiance, elle crée des liens profonds et montre toute sa vraie personnalité affectueuse. Molly réagit aussi à la laisse, donc une cour entièrement clôturée serait parfaite pour lui permettre de courir et se dépenser en toute sécurité. Elle adore les aventures au nord, explorer la forêt et respirer l’air frais. Elle a toujours été aimée et bien soignée, mais elle est maintenant prête pour un nouveau chapitre — avec un adoptant expérimenté qui comprend les chiens sensibles et loyaux comme elle. Si vous cherchez une compagne dévouée, qui vous aimera sans condition et appréciera les moments calmes à vos côtés, Molly pourrait bien être le match parfait. Molly est vacciné, identifié par puce électronique, protégé contre les puces, les tiques et la tics, stérilisé et accompagné de son carnet médical. Il arrive qu'un chien mette un peu plus de temps à s'ouvrir ; vous le verrez peut-être exprimer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines, voire mois ! Nous ignorons tout ce qu'ils ont traversé avant d'être secourus, mais ils sont si indulgents et pleins d'amour que chaque moment difficile en vaut la peine. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien adopté est primordial. La stabilité, la patience, le renforcement positif et l'amour sont les valeurs les plus importantes !
