Story
Meet MollyMolly is a 3 month -old Lab mix weighing about 20 pounds, and she is seriously cute! With her beautiful black coat and adorable white chest, she’s hard to resist. But it’s her fun personality that will really steal your heart.Molly is a curious, adventurous puppy who wants to explore everything around her. She has mid-to-high puppy energy and does best when she has plenty of opportunities for both physical exercise and mental stimulation. She loves going for walks, exploring new places, playing fetch, and working on treats that take a little time to enjoy.And when she's gotten her puppy energy out? Molly is happy to settle down and become a couch potato, especially in the afternoon and evening. She also has a very important favorite treat: Dunkin' pup cups!Molly's PersonalityMolly is a happy, outgoing girl who absolutely loves people. She gets very excited when meeting someone new and is convinced that everyone she meets is her new best friend.She is amazing with children and currently lives with children ages 7, 5, and 1½, as well as other animals. She absolutely adores kids and has been wonderful with them.Molly lives with cats and does well with them. She may occasionally try to chase them because she thinks they would make fun playmates, so she will need continued supervision and guidance around cats.She has not yet been able to meet other dogs because she is not fully vaccinated. When she hears another dog barking while she's outside, however, she simply watches and investigates without showing a negative reaction.TrainingMolly is doing a great job for such a young puppy!She is not completely housebroken yet, which is completely normal for a 12-week-old puppy. However, she is already learning how to communicate her needs and will scratch at the front door when she needs to go outside.Molly is also doing excellent with crate training. She sleeps peacefully in her covered crate from approximately 10 PM to 7 AM and has had no overnight accidents.During the day, she may bark when first crated, but she eventually settles down. Because she is still young and has a puppy chewing habit, she will need to continue being crated when unsupervised until she is older and has learned appropriate chewing habits.She is currently learning sit, stay, and "let's go potty."Molly walks nicely on leash, although once she gets tired, she may decide she has walked enough, lie down, and refuse to go any farther! She's still learning and building her puppy stamina.There has been no resource guarding observed.Life With MollyMolly would love an active family who wants to include her in their adventures. She would especially benefit from a secure fenced yard where she can safely run and play.Her foster home does not have a fenced yard, and Molly is always ready to run a little farther! A family that enjoys walks, outings, exploring, and keeping a young dog mentally stimulated would be a wonderful match for her.Molly has shown no signs of separation anxiety. She is generally calm when left alone, although she has not yet been left crated by herself for longer than about two hours.She can be slightly nervous when entering a new environment, but she adjusts quickly. She settled into her foster home within just a few days.Molly's Ideal HomeMolly is looking for a family who understands that puppies require patience, training, supervision, exercise, and lots of love. She would thrive with people who will continue working on her house training, basic commands, leash skills, and appropriate chewing.A fenced yard would be a wonderful bonus, but what Molly really needs is a family ready to make her part of their lives.If you're looking for a sweet, silly, adventurous puppy who loves kids, enjoys exploring, and is perfectly happy to snuggle on the couch after a busy day, Molly could be your girl! ❤️🐾Molly is currently not spayed.
