Lark a.k.a. “Molly”

My story

🌿 Meet Molly: Your Loyal Little Shadow 🐾 1–2 years old | Female | Petite Shepherd Mix Molly is a super sweet soul with a heart full of devotion and a story still unfolding. She’s not just looking for a home—she’s searching for her person, someone who will help her write the next chapter of her life with patience, love, and plenty of shared adventures. This petite shepherd mix is a velcro pup through and through. Molly doesn’t just love humans—she needs them. She’s happiest when she’s included, whether you’re heading out for errands, lounging in the backyard, or settling in for the night. Being left behind—even with other dogs—makes her anxious, so she’s seeking a person who understands her heart and wants to keep her close. 🏞️ Molly thrives outdoors and would love a life filled with nature walks, quiet moments on the porch, and outings where she’s part of the pack. She’s house-trained, walks beautifully on a leash with her harness, and greets every dog she sees with a cheerful tail and friendly chatter. At bedtime, Molly prefers to sleep near her human—wherever they may be. She’s not much of a cuddler (at least not yet), but she finds comfort in simply being close. Her sensitivity means she’ll do best with someone patient, gentle, and committed to helping her feel safe and secure. 🧠 Smart and eager to connect, Molly already knows “sit” and we’re currently exploring what other commands she may have tucked away. She’s a work in progress, and every day reveals a little more of the wonderful dog she’s becoming. 📏 Molly is full grown and about half the size of a purebred German Shepherd—perfect for someone who loves the breed’s spirit but prefers a more petite companion. 💛 Molly’s sweetness shines through in every wag, cuddle-free snuggle, and hopeful glance. Her journey isn’t finished yet—but with the right person by her side, she’s ready to blossom. 📍 Currently fostered in MD/DC/VA. Apply to meet Molly and see if she’s the missing piece of your heart. The adoption fee for this dog is $500. Application for adoption: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FRE/Dog If you are viewing on Petfinder/Adoptapet and cannot see photos or would like to apply for this dog please visit our website, www.frecklesfoundation.org. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs....all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training! They are up-to-date on age appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.
