Molly was brought in to us because she was a little too much for the gentleman to handle. It took her a few weeks to really trust us, but she is doing well with the staff and volunteers that spend the most time with her. She is very neat in her kennel and super smart. Molly likes to play in the runs next to other dogs, but if you have another dog, we would do a meet and greet prior to adoption. Molly needs an experienced adopter to help her transition into a family. If that could be you, apply today! Visit Molly at the Venango County Humane Society from noon to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.
