CT Mollie (foster in Stafford CT) - Terrier and Miniature Schnauzer Dog Available for Adoption in Stormville, New York

I am in foster care in Stafford CT. Ask for an appointment to meet me there.

Hi, I'm Mollie - your favorite 18lb former island feral who now knows how to sit, snuggle, and steal your shoes.

Listen... I didn't choose the streetdog life in St. Croix, but I absolutely crushed it. I was out there surviving, minding my business, being suspicious of literally everything - and then this very determined couple started showing up with snacks. For WEEKS. I made them work for it. They even extended their vacation just to win me over. What can I say? I inspire devotion.

Once I finally said, "Fine, you may adore me," they scooped me up, got me vetted, and flew me all the way to Connecticut like the tiny VIP I am. Then they called PawSafe to help me find my forever people... but plot twist: I tested positive for heartworm.

Did that stop me? No.
Did it stop them? Also no.
They fostered me through treatment, taught me crate training, housebreaking, and basic manners. I'm basically a tiny scholar now.

Now I'm spayed, healthy, and officially ready to meet my forever humans. And let me tell you - I am not the scared little island ghost I used to be. I'm a fun, active, protective, slightly spicy girl who is learning how to be a real puppy every single day. I do fresh puppy things like stealing shoes, nibbling fingers, and acting like your personal shadow. But I'm learning the rules, I promise. Mostly.

I'm only about 18 lbs and will maybe hit about 23 lbs. My DNA test says I'm part pit, mini schnauzer, chow, pekingese, bulldog, shepherd, and "supermutt." Basically, I'm a limitededition collectible.

I'll thrive with someone patient, loving, and ready to help me adjust to yet another new home. I warm up - I just need a minute. But once I decide you're mine? Oh, you're MINE. Forever.

If you want a loyal, quirky, brave little survivor who's blossoming into the best version of herself... I'm your girl.

Love,
Mollie - Former Island Feral, Current Connecticut Princess
