Story
Meet Molly 3 years old | 70 lbs If you're looking for a dog with a heart as big as her smile, Molly may be the one you've been waiting for. From the moment you meet her, Molly's gentle, loving nature shines through. She's the kind of girl who melts into your side for snuggles, happily accepts treats, and makes everyone she meets feel like an old friend. Her favorite place is wherever her people are, especially if there are kids around. Molly absolutely adores children and would love a family to call her own. When it's time for adventure, bring on the water! Whether it's splashing in a kiddie pool, exploring a lake, or playing with the hose, Molly is happiest when she can make a few waves. Molly gets along well with both big and small dogs, though we do require a meet and greet to make sure everyone is a good match. She has shown she can tolerate some cats, but she would likely do best in a home without them. At just 3 years old, Molly has the perfect balance of playful energy and cuddle time. She's ready to trade shelter life for a cozy couch, daily adventures, and a family who will love her as much as she'll love them. Could Molly be the missing piece your family has been looking for? Come meet this beautiful girl and see why everyone who meets her falls in love. If interested, please call the shelter at 231-861-5395 and leave a message to be placed on this dog's adoption list. No obligation, but it reserves your place in line on the list. The shelter will contact individuals as they appear on the list. The adoption fee is $95 and you receive certificates for $50 towards spay/neuter and $10 towards rabies vaccine if not already done. All dogs are heartworm tested, receive a DHLPP, flea and tick treatment, and are dewormed.
