Molly

Labrador Retriever · Female · Adult · 3 years

Support and Health How much training will I need? Needs ongoing support Can I be left alone? Yes In Molly’s previous home, she could be left home alone for a few hours happily, often sleeping. On foster Molly has been able to be left regularly for 5 hours and has settled well. We feel Molly will be able to do this again in her new home once fully settled in and built up gradually. Do I have any medical conditions? Existing conditions Molly has current medical conditions, namely a cyst (being monitored), that will require consideration before this pet is rehomed. Our rehoming team will be able to give you further information if you apply to rehome them and you are a successful match. We would also advise that any medical conditions, be that historic or ongoing, are discussed with your own vet prior to taking them home. Who I can live with Can I live with dogs? No Can I live with cats? Yes, conditionally - a bold, dog-savvy cat with slow and careful introductions Can I live with small pets? No Additional information Molly is uncomfortable around other dogs which she communicates by barking. We are doing training with her around other dogs and it is important that she continues this in her new home but she will need to walk in quiet areas where she won’t come across many, if any, other dogs. Molly has lived with cats in her previous home but she grew up with them. She has the potential to live with a cat in her new home, pending slow, careful introductions. It is important that any cat Molly lives with is confident as when she see’s cats out and about and they run away, she is interested in chasing them. Family and environment What kind of family am I looking for? Molly can live with children aged 8+. Molly is an energetic, bouncy girl, that may get over enthusiastic at times. She is very affectionate and will lean into your legs for a fuss. What type of environment would suit me? Molly will need her own fully secured garden with 6ft fencing and no neighbouring dogs. Her favourite thing to do is chase balls, so having the space to do this in her own garden would be ideal. About Molly Molly is a wonderful companion who loves nothing more than being close to her people. She enjoys cuddles, playing with her toys and plenty of cosy naps, and she is always happy to be with you, regularly checking in for reassurance that everything is okay. Molly is a rewarding girl to work with and is making great progress with her training. Molly absolutely loves using her nose and is fantastic at scent trails. She enjoys finding hidden treats around the house or garden, turning it into a brilliant little treasure hunt! She also loves having the freedom to run and would really enjoy access to a secure garden or secure field where she can safely let loose and have some much-needed zoomies. As Molly continues her training around other dogs, she is looking for a quieter, rural-style home where she can feel comfortable and relaxed. She would thrive best on the edge of a town or city, with easy access to quieter walking areas. Busy walking environments can be overwhelming for her, whereas she really comes into her own when exploring fields and peaceful rural spaces. With a patient, understanding home that can continue to give her the reassurance, love and support she needs, Molly has so much to offer and will make a wonderfully affectionate companion.

About Molly

What life with Molly looks like

Molly is a small adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Woodgreen Pets Charity in United Kingdom.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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. Woodgreen Pets Charity 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 — Woodgreen Pets Charity 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
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 Woodgreen Pets Charity 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. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
