About this Dog
MOLLY came to MOGS after being seized from a backyard breeder that kept her, and her one week old puppies, in a muddy, feces filled pen outside in a flood zone. Her owner's idea of training her was to abuse her into submission, and he rarely provided her with food or water. MOLLY had some rough edges on her arrival at MOGS. She was desperate to protect her puppies, starved down to 35-40 lbs, had one of the worst parasite loads that we've ever seen, and was just sick and run down in general. Little did we know how much worse it was, as we couldn't get any closer to her than a 6-foot catch pole allowed. Once Molly had to be weaned from her puppies, she was carefully transported to our vet, where it was found that she was positive for giardia, coccidia, and was severely infected with pyometra. This girl just could not get a break.TEMPERAMENTOnce Molly's multiple medical issues were resolved and she had been separated from her puppies long enough, her personality really began to change, and we could finally see that diamond in the rough that we believed she could be. Molly is a smart girl, and once she bonds to a handler, she is sweet, loving and eager to please. She does require slow intros, including multiple intros to some people, before she starts to show trust and relaxation. But once she trusts you? Instant lap dog! She will actively seek affection, and wants nothing more than to spend her time following her favorite people around. Over the last few weeks, she has finally been able to feel confident enough to wander off and enjoy herself with bones and toys for brief periods. Molly attended a six-week Board & Train program, to give her a jumpstart on gaining confidence. She is trained to 'sit,' 'down,' 'wait,' 'stay,' and heel. She is housebroken [though this may regress in a new environment], crate-trained and walks well on a leash.She kennels well in her new foster home but is very vocal when foster mom comes home because she wants to be let out. Very typical behavior of an dog that is worried their person isn’t coming back. She does require a sturdy “escape proof” style kennel which will come with her. Molly requires an experienced German Shepherd, or large dog, handler, who has strong leadership skills and can help her understand that the world doesn't have to be a fearful place. Multiple Meet & Greets will be required prior to approval of adoption. She would do best moving to a home with someone local to the KC area so she can have multiple visits to build a relationship. Once she trusts you, she will love you fully. She is extremely treat motivated which is a great way to build a bond with her. OTHER ANIMALS**recent update: After moving to a new foster home with dogs that are less reactive, she has learned how to coexist inside with them and even made a buddy of her foster sister when she was still smaller than Molly. She is definitely intimidated by larger dogs (similar or bigger than her) but appears to be intrigued by little dogs.Molly is selectively reactive and under-socialized to other dogs, and will only be adopted to a home where she is the only animal - this includes no cats or other small animals, as well as any type of livestock. PEOPLEMolly is working hard at learning that she is safe with people, but does require gradual, calm and guided introductions. Because of this, she will only be adopted to a home with adults, and older teens who have experience working with an under-socialized dog. She did well recently when her foster mom had two houseguests. She would do well in a multi-person household, just not an overly busy one.MEDICAL Molly is up-to-date on her vaccines, has a current rabies tag, is microchipped, and has been spayed. Molly has no known health issues. If you're looking for a gorgeous, young German Shepherd who has good energy,MOLLY may be your ideal family member! MOLLY'S ADOPTION FEE: $350 This fee covers only part of what we spend to vet, board and rehab the dogs we save. On average we spend over $450 on each dog. We made a decision to keep our adoption fee at the 2005 level even though vet prices have doubled and tripled since then. We are constantly fundraising to cover the deficit. At minimum, your adoption fee includes the dog's spay/neuter, heartworm test, heartworm treatment if needed, rabies shot, distemper/parvo shot, bordatella shot, deworming, monthly heartworm and flea preventives, and microchip. In many cases it also includes surgery and various types of vet treatment for standard issues such as hot spots, ear infections and so on.INTERESTED IN ADOPTING MOLLY?Complete an Adoption Application Now!

Adopt Molly and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Molly's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is Molly's current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the Molly, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Molly's Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Molly was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Molly’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
"The fun and friendly internet currency."
Dogecoin sets itself apart from other digital currencies with an amazing, vibrant community made up of friendly folks just like you. Dogecoin is a decentralized, peer-to-peer digital currency that enables you to easily send money online.
Learn more about it on youtube or at dogecoin.com.
We want the Molly’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Molly’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
