Molly - Miniature Poodle and Maltese Dog for Adoption in Torrance, California

Meet Molly! At 12 years young and just 8 pounds, this gentle girl is ready for her happily ever after.

We rescued Molly from Harbor Shelter just hours before she was scheduled to be euthanized. She had a large, ulcerated tumor that the shelter couldn’t treat, so we took her straight to our vet for a full senior workup. Soon after, Molly said goodbye to that nasty tumor. The pathology report showed a grade 3 carcinoma, and the tumor was removed with good surgical margins.

Molly is gentle, quiet, and housetrained. She gets along with dogs and cats and is learning to trust at her own pace. When the mood strikes, she’ll even ask for snuggles.

Molly has limited vision and will have a dental soon. She’s ready to find a loving home where she can settle in and ask for all the snuggles she wants.

Molly has been fully vetted, microchipped, spayed, and up to date on shots.

Adoption process includes application, interview, home visit, contract and donation.

We do not adopt out of state.
