A GENTLE dog who has spent half of her life in rescue is still looking for her forever home.

Four-year-old Molly, an Akita X, was surrendered to Warrington Animal Welfare on June 1, 2021, when she was just aged two.

 Sadly there has been little interest in Molly since she arrived at the Slutchers Lane site despite her having so much ‘love, kisses, and hugs’ to give.

The WAW team, who believe Molly was born in the ‘wrong dog costume’, is hoping that she won’t need to spend a third year in the rescue.

WAW trustee Lorraine said: “When Molly arrived, she was called Cylon, a name that really did not suit her beautiful personality, so we changed it to Molly.

“Molly is so gentle and affectionate, and we feel that she was just born in the wrong dog costume. 

“Molly has watched hundreds of other dogs come and find their forever home and she just wonders when it is her turn.

“She hardly gets any interest or applications, but fortunately Molly has been lucky and has had some wonderful foster homes where she has settled in wonderfully - showing what a wonderful companion she can be.”

Her first foster family added: “She was nervous at first and needed TLC and reassurance to get her to warm to you, but once she did, she loved scratches and hugs, and lots of licks. 

“Please don’t be put off by her size, she loves to play with the ball and to chase around. 

“Molly loves to snuggle up and took over the bed. 

“She has so much love, kisses, and hugs to give if only given a little time and patience.”

Molly will need a special family who will give her the time to settle in and build her confidence at her own speed.

She will need to be the only pet with people used to large breeds and children aged 16 and over only.

Molly will also need a home where she is not left too long as she adores company.

The dog walkers at WAW said: "She is an affectionate dog once she gets to know you, she loves to give you kisses and loves a good old back rub and loves to sit on your knee."

"Molly is such a beautiful little soul and will give you so much love and affection."

"She’s got the kindest face just looking for reassurance and love."
