Molly America

My story

Meet Molly America! 8-year-old Molly has endured more heartbreak than any dog should. In 2023, she was brought to the San Diego Humane Society after police discovered her—along with many other animals—beside her deceased owner. Thankfully, Molly was adopted shortly afterward, but her journey took another sad turn in June 2025 when she was returned to the shelter due to unforeseen circumstances that left her adopter unable to continue her care. On July 3rd, we welcomed Molly into the Frosted Faces family. She is very sweet, gentle, good with other dogs, and great on leash. A volunteer took Molly for a Frosted Field Trip that included a trip to the beach and overnight stay. Afterwards, she shared: "Molly is a loving, gentle girl who simply wants a home where she can move at her own pace, feel safe, and be loved. She may not be the fastest pup on the beach, but a little arthritis and a few extra pounds don’t slow her spirit one bit. This gentle senior knows how to savor the moment—and July 4th was no exception. To celebrate, we walked nearly 6 miles along the coast. Molly showed zero fear of the water, no hesitation with the waves, and not a hint of reactivity toward other dogs. Just a calm, happy soul taking it all in, soaking up her freedom from the kennel. You can even see the smile on her face in the photos! Molly spent the night with me after our adventure. At first, she was a little shy, quietly curling up at the foot of the bed. But by morning? She decided I was alright—and flopped herself down right next to my head! At home, Molly was pure Miss Congeniality. She followed me everywhere—likely still adjusting to all the recent changes and the stress of kennel life. But through it all, she stayed sweet, friendly, and full of tail wags. No accidents in the house, and she always let me know when it was time for a potty break. I only spent 24 hours with Molly, but we managed to pack in a couple of good outdoor adventures and some quality, quiet time at home. She's wonderful!"
