About Molly *Updated*

We are now happy to say that Molly can live with a male dog, that will give her a bit of time and space initially while she gets to know him. We think this could help with her confidence.

The difficulty is, she won't make friends with other dogs instantly, it took her about a week to stop baring her teeth at the other dog in the foster home and a few weeks on, they're now besties!


If you're looking for a little velcro dog then Molly is the one for you! She is a typical clingy dachshund who forms a strong bond with her owner/s and wants to be with them ALL the time.

Molly is a tiny 5kg and is currently fed a raw diet which she's doing very well on.

She is a little poppet and a total lap dog who just wants to have cuddles, belly rubs and all your attention. She is learning to play with toys and enjoys chasing a ball.

Molly lacks confidence and is looking for a patient and understanding, adult only home with people who will get her out and doing things, to help her realise the world outside isn't as scary as she thinks.

She will bark at people entering the home and is quite wary of new people and other dogs when out walking, this is being worked on while she's in foster and she's making great progress.

Molly also needs some lead work as she will mostly only walk in one direction (straight forwards) and doesn't like being redirected! Like most darling daxies she can be a bit stubborn!

She can be left for short periods of time but when you get back she will be SO excited to see you that she will do a little excited wee and will then jump and run about because she's so happy. She gets the zoomies and dances about when it's time for bed.

Molly would love a home where she can be with someone most of the time.

Adults only. Okay with cats
