We adopted Molly in October 2008, she was 8 weeks old. She has been a perfect fit for our family as a pet and as a running buddy for me. I found her and her siblings while searching on www.petfinder.com she was available for adoption through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue. http://homewardtrails.org/.
Molly was meant to be our dog, she picked us as soon as we saw her. She had chemical burns on her paws and a small spot on her face. One of her brothers lost his tail because of the chemical burns. They were found in West Virginia with their mother under a shed that must of had some chemicals stored in it. My husband wanted me to pick a dog that didn't have the burns, but Molly wanted to be our dog. The other puppies didn't seem to care for the girls and only Molly and her brother liked us. We took her home and within 48 hours, she knew her new home well.
Molly at 8 weeks old, her first day with us 11 Oct 2008.
She has been an easy dog to train and is a good runner. She is very calm for a puppy, and is good at communicating her needs. She is a GOOD DOG! What type of dog is Molly? We believe that she is Border Collie / Australian Shepherd Mix. Currently at 8 1/2 months old she weighs 40 pounds. She has tried to herd our girls and other neighborhood kids. Chemical burn spots have healed and her fur grew back!
Molly is ready to run or hike!
I would like to encourage anyone who is looking for a pet to consider adopting from a shelter or animal rescue organization. The money that you pay covers medical costs and the care that the animal has received through these non-profit organizations.
Life is Good when you have a dog like Molly!
