Notes from Forte Animal Rescue

I’m a sweet, gentle and affectionate little girl who may be a little shy when I first meet you, but once I have a chance to get comfortable, I make a wonderful companion. I was adopted from Forte in early 2025 and spent about a year and a half living in a home, so I already know what it’s like to be part of a family. Unfortunately, a serious illness in my family meant that they could no longer keep me, so through no fault of my own, I’m now looking for a new family to love.

I’m an easy-going little girl with a gentle nature. New people and unfamiliar situations can make me a little unsure at first, so I may hang back and quietly take everything in before deciding I’m ready to join you. Give me a little time to get to know you and feel secure, and you’ll discover the sweet, affectionate companion underneath that initial shyness.

I already understand what it means to live in a home and be part of someone’s everyday life. I’m happy having a comfortable place to curl up and relax, and when things around me get busy, I’m quite content to find my own cozy spot and let the world go by until I’m ready to participate. I don’t need to be the center of attention to be content—I’m an easy little companion who appreciates having a secure place to call home.

After everything has changed in my life, I’m ready to settle into my next chapter with someone who will give me a little time to adjust and then enjoy having a loving little companion by their side. I may not throw myself at you the instant we meet, but please don’t mistake that for a lack of affection. I simply like to get acquainted first. If you give me that chance, I think you’ll find there’s a lot of love packed into this little girl.

If you are interested in meeting Molly, please download the Adoption Questionnaire, fill it out and email it back to us at info@farescue.org or fax (310) 362-0321. You can also meet this and/or other available dogs at our weekend adoptions.
