We are relocating and sadly cannot take Mollie with us due to circumstances.

Mollie is a full-of-life 8-year-old black Schnauzer/Lab mix! She loves playing outside, sunbathing, cuddling, and, of course, eating treats! Mollie can sometimes get a little anxious, but with some reassurance and love, she settles right down. She has been deeply loved and is looking for a forever home where she can continue to feel safe, cared for, and cherished just like she always has been.

Elsa is super sweet and very playful just like her sister Anna. She is about 7 months old. She is wonderful with my kids and all my dogs. She would be best for a younger family bc she likes to jump and that would not be great for the elderly. She is skittish when first meeting men (same as Anna). She is friendly to my cat as well but gets to excited so I keep them separate.
