Molly, boxer and mastiff mix

Molly is an adorable female boxer and mastiff mix being cared for at Boxers Mutts & Wiggle Butts Rescue Inc.

Molly is a true family dog, and children will love her. No other pets please: She is looking for home without other dogs or cats. Good news: She is already house-trained. Her vaccinations are up to date, and she's spayed.

From Molly's current caretaker:

Whoever said you can't teach an old dog new tricks was wrong. Molly is a very smart girl. She knows sit, down and stay. Oh and she absolutely loves people. She likes meeting new people, getting pet by people and people giving her treats...she just really likes them.

Her savior, who rescued her from her original owners that moved and left her behind, has to have neck surgery soon and will be unable to care for her. She is currently living with two cats, and loves and most definitely needs to be placed with other dogs, and adores children. She also rides well in the car.
