My story

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

Current Location:

Meet Chelsea: A Playful Sweetheart Seeking the Right Environment

Chelsea (also known as Molly) is a sweet, affectionate dog who loves her people and absolutely adores other dogs. She's a social butterfly at the dog park, readily greeting canine friends and engaging in enthusiastic play with lots of wrestling. She's energetic and playful, though she's still learning to read some social cues about when other dogs are done playing.

With people, Chelsea can be initially shy but warms up very quickly. Sometimes she'll confidently walk right up to greet someone, and other times she needs a moment to build her courage. Once she's comfortable, her affectionate nature shines through.
Chelsea is housetrained and does well overnight. She gets happy when it's time to put on her harness and enjoys going outside for potty breaks and especially for trips to the dog park. However, she's fearful of busy urban environments with heavy traffic and constant foot traffic, which has made traditional neighborhood walks challenging in her current location. A quieter setting may help her feel more confident about exploring on leash.

When left alone during the day, Chelsea experiences some anxiety and has chewed on a few things that she maybe thought twice about after - paper products like tissues and books. Crate training will be important for her success and safety when home alone, and she'll benefit from an adopter committed to helping her when she is uncomfortable being alone through gradual training and enrichment.

Chelsea needs a home that can provide structure, continued socialization with dogs, and patience as she builds confidence in new situations.

MEET AND GREETS

We primarily rely on meet & greets for potential adopters. Approved adopters may meet adoptable animals at the home of the animal's foster, or possibly in the adopter's own home.

More about this rescue


Operation Paws for Homes, Inc. rescues dogs of all breeds and ages from high-kill shelters reducing the numbers being euthanized daily. We provide foster homes where they can get the love and attention needed before finding their forever homes. Our organization provides pet adoption services in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, and parts of Southern Pennsylvania. Operation Paws for Homes, a 501(c)(3) organization, is 100% donor funded and could not save these dogs and fulfill their dreams of being united with their forever families, without the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors and volunteers. Sadly, without our help, all of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - usually within days or hours of arriving at the shelter. Each year we take in hundreds of wonderful animals who were left at shelters by no fault of their own.
