About Molly

Molly was rescued from the streets of Bosnia just over a year ago. She was adopted to a home in Norfolk and has been living a happy life, but unfortunately her family have come to the decision that they’re not in the position to give her the quality of life she truly deserves, and Molly has been in a foster home in Essex for the past month. We are therefore seeking a new forever home for her.

Molly is estimated to be around five years old and we believe she is some sort of terrier mix. She is an adorable, affectionate soul. She can be a little reserved around strangers and prefers to greet newcomers on her own terms, but once bonded with you is very snuggly, loyal and comical. Molly loves to be near her human and follows her foster mum (or the spare human, if she’s not around!) around the house to make sure she knows what’s going on and doesn’t miss any snack opportunities.

Molly absolutely loves her walks and gets very excited to go out. She walks very well on a lead and is very content with a half hour walk twice a day (though she wouldn’t say no to longer hikes!) so long as she gets to sniff out all the best smells in the area. Molly prefers not to be approached by other dogs while out on her walks but is very easily distracted by treats and will happily stand and munch while they walk by. Although she responds to her name very well, she doesn’t yet have reliable recall so is walked on-lead – she’s very happy plodding along sniffing so this doesn’t seem to bother her! Between walks, Molly is happy to nap the day away - she really doesn’t ask for much and is very easygoing in the household.

Molly is currently in a foster home with a two year old female dog. At first, she was nervous about her new sister, but she has now worked her out enough to begin initiating play between them. However, Molly can be easily overwhelmed by energetic dogs and wants to get to know a dog well before contemplating a relationship – a wine and dine several times kinda girl! We therefore think she would be happier in a home as an only dog but could potentially live with another dog who will read her signals well and leave her alone if needed. She would be better suited to a more placid canine companion than an energetic pup.

Molly has met children out and about and is curious but can find their sudden movements startling so would be better in a home without young children. She doesn’t have any experience living with kids, and after the movement she’s endured over the past year we would rather not give her any other new factors to contend with, so only homes with older children will be considered.

Molly is a gorgeous girl and looking for a home where someone can give her the time and understanding to get used to them, give her the outdoor adventures she loves, and provide her with a calm, secure household environment where she can feel safe, happy, and settled.

Molly is currently based in a foster home in Braintree and is ready for adoption now. If you’re interested in meeting her, please get in touch.

Please note, any mention of breed is nothing more than an educated guess based on what we know about the dog, their appearance, behaviour, and common breeds in their country of origin. We can never guarantee breed specifics, nor can we confirm the exact age of our dogs, unless they were born in our care. Age estimations are made by our vets based on the development of the dog, their general health and energy, and assessing their teeth.
