Molly - Beagle Dog for Adoption in Beavercreek, Oregon

Molly had been waiting in rescue in California since January 4th 2025 - a whopping 538 days! Molly was found as a stray in a rural orchard, pregnant. She gave birth in foster in California and all her puppies left for another rescue while Molly was left behind. When we heard Molly had been waiting so long with no adoption interest, we decided to bring her to Oregon for a better chance at finding a home.

Molly is a VERY shy dog. This is likely why she has sat so long in her previous rescue. We can say that Molly has made leaps and bounds in her progress to acclimate to a home. She sleeps in a dog bed at the foot of her foster mom's bed each night, walks on leash, and comes up to her foster mom now to give kisses to her hand. Molly allows her foster mom to pick her up but she flinches if her foster mom pets her. Molly is still getting used to touch. Molly has not shown any aggression. She just freezes or moves away if she is uncomfortable.

*** Molly will need a patient, understanding person who is savvy with helping shy dogs gradually build confidence over time. She must have another friendly dog in her future home for companionship as she really follows the lead of other dogs, they help her confidence level and she loves to play with them! ***

- 20 pounds and approximately 3 years old

- Beagle mix. Just look at those ears!

- Lower energy and just now starting to play with the other dogs in her foster home. She's content to nap on a dog bed and hang out. Her foster mom describes her as having a calm, peaceful demeanor.

- Crate trained but can also be left out of her crate and has not been destructive.

- Seeking an adult home since energetic children likely will overwhelm her.

- We are not sure how she does with cats but will try to find a cat to test her with.

- Loves other dogs and has a nice play style!

- Quiet and has not been a barker.

- Gathers her toys to bring them to her bed and make a cute little toy nest.

- Potty habits are still coming along. She has had occasional potty accidents in the home during this first week in foster. But this is her first time living in a home and not outside and she is learning the routine and still adjusting. We truly think her potty habits will get dialed in as she gets more settled in the home.

Molly is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, heartworm tested negative, and current on flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our four partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Portland, Milwaukie or Tualatin.
