Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Darcy & Molly – A Beautiful Bonded Pair Ready to Complete Your Family

After nearly a year in rescue, we are still searching for the perfect home for Darcy and Molly, two sweet, senior girls with hearts as big as their combined fluff. These lifelong best friends are inseparable, and we’re looking for a family who’s ready to open their heart to both.

🌟 About Darcy & Molly
Darcy is a gentle Great Pyrenees, and Molly is a lively Border Collie mix. At 11 years old, they may be considered seniors, but Molly still thinks she’s a pup — zooming around the yard and tossing toys with joy. Darcy, true to her breed, is calm, nurturing, and incredibly loving. Together, they balance each other out perfectly.

They’ve lived together their entire lives and rely on one another for comfort and companionship. We will only adopt them as a pair.

🐶 Their Foster Life
They currently live with both a small and a large dog and get along beautifully.

Molly especially enjoys playtime with the smaller dog and is full of joyful energy.

Both girls LOVE the snow — it’s like watching puppies romp for the first time!

They’ve shown mild interest but no aggression toward cats and co-exist peacefully with chickens.

💖 Their Personalities
Molly is smart, active, and loves mental and physical enrichment. Daily walks, puzzle toys, or games of fetch are her jam. She has all the classic Border Collie intelligence and drive — she needs someone who appreciates and engages that!

Darcy is the soul of serenity. She’s affectionate, steady, and thrives on gentle companionship. She’s your classic couch-loving, people-snuggling senior girl.

🧡 Darcy’s Special Needs
Darcy does have age-related arthritis and degenerative disc disease. Her foster family has worked closely with our vet to get her comfortable on a medication routine. She’s doing much better now but may have occasional flare-ups.

She uses a sling during tough days and needs a home without stairs or with very minimal steps. Despite her mobility issues, she enjoys short walks and being outside — especially when there’s snow on the ground!

We believe in giving our senior dogs the best quality of life, and her foster mom has done an incredible job keeping her comfortable, happy, and loved.

🧼 Grooming & Care
Both girls have been professionally groomed and do best with regular daily brushing — something they both enjoy. It’s also a great way to bond with them!

We know adopting two senior dogs isn’t a small decision — but we also know it’s one of the most meaningful. Darcy and Molly have so much love left to give, and they deserve a soft landing together with someone who sees their beauty, age and all.

Could that be you?

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are a small rescue without a facility so we rely on volunteers to temporarily house the animals until adopted. Because the animals are in private foster homes, we need to make arrangements for a visit to happen. Please email us for further information. Additionally, we have adoption events throughout the year - check out our Facebook for a current listings. We do private adoption visits with approved applicants.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to assist terminally ill people with finding homes for their pets. Since we help people receiving hospice care, heading into nursing homes, or families after the pet owner died, we often receive older animals. WE value older animals and cherish all that they can offer to their new family. We do not have a physical facility, so we rely on volunteers to foster the pets in their home until they are adopted.
