MOLLIE - COCKER SPANIEL (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Cocker Spaniel (medium coat). Thank you for stopping by to see me! Please fill out an application to set up a private meeting. Meet Mollie, a gentle cocker spaniel with the softest heart and the sweetest, most loving nature. Mollie is a quiet, affectionate girl who finds the most comfort right by your side. She loves being close to her people, whether that’s curled up next to you on the couch, resting on the bed, or simply following along from room to room. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t need to be the center of attention, but quietly becomes your constant, comforting companion. While she is incredibly sweet and has never shown any signs of aggression, Mollie can be timid at first and startles easily with loud noises or busy, overwhelming environments. She will need a patient home that can give her time to settle in and build confidence at her own pace. Once she feels safe, her loving personality really shines. Mollie enjoys spending time outside, happily running around the yard and taking in the world at her own speed. She has shown interest in other dogs and seems to enjoy their quiet companionship, often choosing to sleep alongside them. While she hasn’t quite figured out how to play just yet, she’s curious and may continue to come out of her shell with the right canine friend. She loves food (which definitely helps when building trust!) but does have very few teeth, so softer treats and appropriate chews are best. She enjoys gentle toys and flat chew items that she can comfortably carry and nibble on. Mollie does well in the car, is a wonderful lap companion, and has a calm, easygoing presence that makes her such a joy to be around. Because of her sensitive nature, she would do best in a home that is on the quieter side or with people who understand how to help a shy dog feel safe and secure. Mollie is the kind of dog who doesn’t ask for much, just a soft place to land, a gentle touch, and someone to love. And in return, she will give you a quiet, steady kind of love that only a dog like her can offer. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there*** If you have other questions about me you can email Underdog Rescue at <inquiriesunderdogrescuemn> ADOPTION EVENTS: Adoption events are updated at the top of each dogs animals' as their foster home signs up. Check back for updates on which events they will be attending. If an event is not listed within their bio above, the animal is not planning to attend. Please understand that all of our pets are in volunteer foster homes and sometimes "life" happens and the foster family cannot make it to their scheduled adoption event. If you are traveling from a far distance to meet a specific animal, please understand we cannot guarantee event attendance. We recommend filling out an application and we will set up a private appointment. Private appointments are only scheduled after an application is submitted and approved. ADOPTION PROCEDURE: The first step in our process is to complete an online adoption application on our website: .underdogrescuemn/adoptionprocess/ Note: In most circumstances Underdog Rescue will only adopt within 60 miles of Minneapolis, MN. All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment with an approved adoption application. Contact us at .underdogrescuemn/contact-us/ if you have further questions. FOSTER CARE: All of our animals are fostered in individual homes or doggie daycare facilities. While they are in our care, they are part of our families and given lots of love. We work on training, crate-training and socialization prior to adoption, but each bio is written by the foster as they see them, in their home. Each animal's behavior is evaluated and we have a sense of its temperament and personality, but it cannot be guaranteed. We look for adopters who will give each animal the wonderful life and permanent home that he or she deserves in time and with patience. If you have an interest and ability to be a foster home, please visit our website .underdogrescuemn/foster-applications and fill out a foster application. NUTRITION: Nutrition is vital to the rehabilitation and life-long health of our pets. All of our foster animals are fed a premium diet such as NutriSource, Canidae, Orijen, Nature's Variety, Fromm, Pure Vita, Stella and Chewy's, Primal, or balanced raw diet. All adopters are required to continue providing premium diets for the life of the animal. YOU CAN HELP: Not able to foster or adopt right now? Please consider sponsoring an Underdog.
