Apply to take me home

-ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 15 lbs

-ESTIMATED AGE: 1.5 years

-KNOWN WITH DOGS: Molly also did well meeting some of our neighbors, including few dogs. No wagging tails or proactive sniffing, but polite and cautious greetings.

-KNOWN WITH CATS: unknown

-KNOWN WITH KIDS: Same with neighborhood kids - very cautious and jumpy with sudden moves and noises, but no aggression. Molly has started to open up more towards our kids, and even jumped into our 7 yr old's lap the other day. She still doesn't play with the kids and ignores them most of the time (she prefers me and my husband), but will sit for her treats and won't say no to a few scratches and pets.

-KNOWN CUES: Molly knows now the command "sit", and knows to sit and wait for her meal. We are working on "stay" now.

-KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: housebroken. Good in crate during day. Working on not whining at night but she's improving. May have some excited pee that she's working on!

-KNOWN LIKES: following her person around

-KNOWN DISLIKES: loud noises, new things! Will need help continuing to socialize.

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:

Molly is coming to HT from a rural VA shelter. Her elderly owner could no longer care for her.

Notes from the foster:

Molly is a pretty calm, dog. She occasionally house outbursts of energy but nothing crazy! She enjoys going on walks and being with her people. She would be a good fit for someone home more often than not since she does bark and have a touch of separation anxiety (barking).
