ABOUT MOLLY
This 2-year-old, stocky, long-legged beauty is a real charmer! Molly came to HAP when her owners were no longer able to care for a pet. She can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with a few treats and some sweet puppy talk, she warms up quickly. Miss Molly is incredibly smart, she already knows commands like “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and she walks beautifully on a leash. And did we mention she loves treats? This big girl can’t resist a snack, those adorable curves don’t lie! As a young dog, she has plenty of energy and loves playing with her toys. When she gets really excited, she’ll break into the zoomies, it’s hilarious to see such a big girl move so fast! While she hasn’t made close doggy friends just yet, she enjoys walking near other dogs and may do well with a canine companion. Molly has also thrived participating in our Doggy Day Out program! Here's what a few volunteers had to say about her:
"Molly and I had a great walk at Glasgow park! She behaved well and wanted to smell EVERYTHING! Definitely has some hound dog in her because she could not keep her nose off the ground haha She’s such a pretty sweet girl and I hope she gets adopted soon!!" - Catalina
"Had the best DDO with sweet Molly girl! We started our morning with a stroll through riverfront, where Molly got to get a lot good sniffs in! She is very well behaved and knows how to sit, paw, and lay down for treats. Which, your way to Mollys heart will definitely be through some good treats! Then we stopped by Riverfront Pets, she was so good with other people and dogs. We ended our morning running and walking through Rockford Park. Overall had such a blast and Molly was such a great companion for the day. Listens well and very smart!" - Jammile
"We had the best time with Molly yesterday!! We were hesitant at first because of how tall she was but… she exceeded every expectation we had! She barked once the entire day, amazing on the leash, and was just an all around sweet dog. She also let us know when she had to use the bathroom after her nap on our couch! Truly such an amazing day with our Molls!" - Rayna
"Had the best day with Molly today! She loves the car and sticking her head out the window. We went to the reservoir for a nice walk. She’s such a good walker! After we chilled at my apartment. She loves to relax just as much as she loves to walk. Molly was shy at times but when she was in her element, she loved to play and jump around! Such a cutie!" - Catie
"Molly is a big, lovable girl who is very treat-motivated! She has the kind of dopey face that makes you question if there’s anything going on behind those eyes but it’s also possible that she’s very smart. We went out for about an hour-long walk yesterday and she looked like she could keep going, but she quickly became a couch potato once we were indoors. She also loved sticking her head out of the window during car rides!" - Monica
"Spent a great time with lovely Molly this morning. What a beautiful, sweet girl! Lots of energy, but listens really well, and will take no time at all to loose leash train! She really enjoyed all the new smells at the park, and was scary good at spotting the squirrels (like the wonderful hound she is!). She would have a fantastic time with a large yard to run and play in, with that young adult energy she has. She responds to sit and paw commands perfectly and is easily redirected when necessary. She will make a family very happy, hopefully ASAP!" - Julie
"Had the best day with this sweetheart, Molly. She is just the sweetest and most well mannered girl. She was a little nervous at first, but after being around us for a few minutes her personality came out and she warmed up very fast! She’s amazing in the car and loves to look out the windows, I took her back to my apartment and she immediately hopped up onto the couch and took a little nap. We practiced her commands and she is so good with them and even without treats she will listen and do them . I took her to run around my boyfriends yard for a little bit and she had zoomies for 10 minutes straight and was so happy, she is all around such a great dog I am OBSESSED with her and would love to take her out again soon!" - Molly
"I brought Molly out for a walk around the reservoir. For the first half it seemed like, given the choice, she would walk forever and ever, she got tired out near the end though. She's very very into geese, and also tried to eat a caterpillar (I didn't let her, much to her dismay). Knows a lot of commands, but when we were walking, I noticed she doesn't really seem to answer to her name, which was interesting. Such a sweetheart, loves sticking her head out the window in the car!" - Izzy
If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.
