Molly (AZ)

ADOPT ME!<br/>Molly- 4 years old, located in AZ<br/>Rescue ID#: 250703-P-B-TX<br/>Intake Date: 11/25/25<br/>Available Date: 12/6/25<br/><br/>Molly is an energetic four-year-old English Pointer, weighing in at 40 pounds. After slow introductions to her foster pack of four German Shorthaired Pointers, she fit in quickly and began running, wrestling and exploring. This is a girl that loves all toys that squeak – from sturdy plush toys to balls and will not pass up a chew. She doesn’t show aggression with the toys, sharing them in play and chasing in a competitive game of fetch. With her first meal, Molly gave a growl when a dog approached, but with correction to both animals, there has not been any further food aggression. All five dogs continue to eat in the same vicinity and take treats together. <br/><br/>But Molly isn’t all play. She does like to spend time outside sniffing, quietly walking the yard, and relaxing on a bed in the sun and watching wildlife – and birds, birds, birds. She loves to snuggle with me, nap with the pack on the bed or couch and will curl up in a chair if its empty! Molly is also first at the door to get her halter and leash on for an excursion, be it a walk, a car ride or a trip to a pet-friendly place like Home Depot. She can be anxious with loud noises, e.g., sliding electronic doors or carts crashing, but calms down with encouragement and a quiet aisle in a store. Note, at her wellness vet appointment, she was timid with the male vet and more comfortable with the female tech. <br/><br/>As for obedience (with treats), Molly has a decent “sit”, a mediocre “sit/stay” especially challenging at the door, and a non-existent “down”, which we are now working on. She has a reputable “leave-it” and a very good recall in the yard. Molly has not yet been on a long lead outside the yard to further test her recall. Note, she has not been tested for hunting abilities nor complete off leash capability. Her leash skills are good, with some pulling that can be corrected. Also, Molly is not a big barker, briefly barking at a noise coming from the street or a neighbor’s yard. This is very sporadic and ends immediately with verbal correction. One “trick” Molly apparently has learned is to open a door with a door handle, but not with a knob, yet.<br/><br/>Molly is crate-trained and will go into her kennel with a treat; she is sleeping overnight successfully in it. During her first week of foster, Molly went into her crate for a few hours when I left the house. By the second week, I tested her by letting Molly stay out of the kennel with the rest of the pack when I left the house for one to three hours. She has not caused any damage nor had any accidents. She was trained on using a doggie door by the previous owner – but I don’t use one. At first, she had two accidents but with more time outside and following the pack, Molly has adapted well to no doggie door.<br/><br/>Given her history of escaping a chain-link fenced yard, I have a GPS (Fi) collar on Molly and strongly recommend both a GPS collar and a 6-foot fenced yard – solid, if possible or set in a solid base, and any gates set on concrete. Molly is doing so well with my pack, and I recommend that Molly be with a few playful dogs in her forever home — around the same age to keep her boredom, and in turn, escapism at bay. If Molly is the solo dog, her forever home should be active daily with her – playing fetch, obedience/rally, nose work, longer walks, excursions, etc.<br/><br/>Notably, Molly is indoor cat friendly, sniffing them but otherwise not paying much attention to them as they walk through a room. I have not tested Molly with children, but given her nervousness with loud noises, toddlers or younger may not be a good fit.<br/><br/>Molly is a sweet foster – easy going in the house, yard and car, stubborn in holding a “sit”, laughingly finicky with her treats, and a rascal with toys. My pack and I are enjoying her and know she will be a wonderful addition to her forever family.<br/><br/>TRANSPORT AVAILABLE TO APPROVED HOMES!
