Molly is a spayed female pit bull, 2-years-old, and about 50 lbs.
Wisdom panel DNA results: 57% American Pit Bull Terrier, 39% American Staffordshire Terrier, 2% Bulldog, 1% Boston Terrier, 1% American Bulldog. She's all muscle, has kind of short legs, a big head, and a big heart. 😋
Molly was an owner surrender from CT. Her owners adore her but despite a lot of training and effort, she wasn’t getting along with the older dog in her home. Molly has some BIG feelings about other dogs, and has a high prey drive, so needs to be the only pet in the home. No dogs, cats, or small animals. She’s working on her reactivity on walks and in the car (crating in the car would be best). We’ll continue her muzzle training while she’s here.
Molly is very friendly and good with people, including strangers and the vet, is tolerant of handling, isn’t destructive, is crate trained, and 100% potty trained! 👏 She is tolerant of grooming wipes and baths, and with a peanut butter lick mat, is okay for nail clipping.
She received professional training before coming into our rescue and knows several cues like sit, down, stay, place, drop it, heel, kennel, etc. She'a also completed several classes of a Reactive Rovers training class. We've seen no evidence of any resource guarding toys or treats from us.
This girl is SUPER athletic!! Muscular, fast, agile, confident, not afraid of water, not afraid to get muddy, and very treat and toy driven. She would love a big, private, fenced-in yard to hang out with you in, run, play, and maybe even a chance to learn more skills on agility equipment. 😊 I think she would be a great candidate for dog sports (like wall climb!) at private training facilities (her reactivity would prevent her from going to crowded official events/competitions right now).
Molly’s looking for an experienced adopter who can continue working on her dog reactivity, and provide a stable routine for her. She thrives on routine, and her reactivity improves with routine. Her ideal home would be in a quieter area with not many dogs being walked by the home. And huge bonus if you have land with areas to walk her on! Molly requires a home visit as part of her adoption requirements, as we want to make extra sure that she's being set up for success in her new home.
She'll go home with a large Ruffland kennel, kennel pad, raised cot (her "place"), muzzle, collars, leash, harness, tons of toys, slow feeder dish, and more!
Thanks to Petfinder Foundation's Kia Pet Adoption Grant, Molly’s adoption fee is now fully sponsored! 🎉
