Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Molly! I am a smart and fun-loving girl who attends obedience classes and knows commands. It's important that I develop trust and respect for my human, so s/he is invited to come to class with me for a while to ensure we get started on the right foot. I am happy to follow if you take the lead.
I also think I'm what you humans call a foodie. Yup, I LOVES me some food. The only problem is, I want to eat whatever yummy stuff you folks are eating. So I need a gentle, but firm leader in my life who will keep what food is yours and mine clear and consistent.
Due to my little love affair with food, I will also need a human that is willing to crate me when I eat, as well as when it's dinner time for them. My last home wasn't really into using the crate, so when I kept nabbing their food and drinks, they got upset and sent me back.
But, I can be a good girl, I know. I just need to understand the rules and trust that you will make sure I get yummy food on a regular basis. And I need to feel confident in your ability to guide me down the right path in life.
I know this makes me sound a little harder than other dogs, but I can't help it that I'm smart and have good taste. So let's work together and make our relationship great -- and lasting. I'm a very loving girl who is looking to give it to someone as special as I am.
Temperament: Friendly with people, but no children due to food guarding; prefers to be an only pet
Vetting: Spay/neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative
This dog is currently in boarding. If you can foster until a home can be found, please fill out our Foster Application and we'll be in touch ASAP.
Of course a permanent home is even better! Contact adopt@doggieharmony.org with questions or complete/send an Adoption Application. We look forward to hearing from you.
