Sweet little Molly came to us as a stray in rough condition. We estimated her to be about 10 years old, and she weighs just 13 pounds. This little girl is a sweetheart, who wants nothing more than to be in somebody’s lap all day. She loves soft beds and blankets, and treats of course. Molly seems to do great with other dogs, but would like to meet any potential doggy siblings. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccines. If Molly sounds like a good fit for you, apply today! Visit Molly at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
