Molly

Cocker Spaniel · Female · Senior · 11 years

Could Molly be your affectionate companion who will happily join you on lovely walks, before curling up by your side at the end of the day? Molly is a gentle girl who enjoys being close to her people, whether that's snoozing beside you on the sofa or simply keeping you company around the house. She adores a fuss and a snuggle. She's also happy to settle in her own bed when she fancies some quiet time. Molly may fit in perfectly with someone who works from home. Molly still enjoys an active lifestyle and currently goes out for three walks a day, with riverside strolls being a firm favourite. She is always ready for a tasty treat and cheese is her favourite! Molly enjoys playing with soft toys and she's always happy to have one nearby. Molly is a lovely eleven- year -old Spaniel Cross Poodle looking for a new place to call home where she can have the maximum amount of company. Any time on her own will need to be build up gradually. She would prefer to be the only dog in the home and would be happy to join on a walk with other calm, chilled-out dogs. She has no history with cats, small furries, or livestock. She could share her home with secondary school aged children and is friendly with visitors to the home. She loves heading out in the car and she is housetrained. Molly could cope with a busy household.

About Molly

What life with Molly looks like

Molly is a small senior cocker spaniel dog waiting at Dogs Trust Ilfracombe in Ilfracombe.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Molly, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Molly?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Ilfracombe handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Molly on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Molly if I live in another country?: Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Ilfracombe will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Molly already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Molly isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Ilfracombe early rather than rehoming privately; they know Molly and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically.
