Molly

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 3 years

Molly, born around 2023, is a 50 cm tall and 28 kg female dog. She has had a tumultuous life, having been spayed and returned to the streets last year, where she seemed to thrive in her free-roaming lifestyle. However, a few months later, she was caught and brought to PS. To her rescuer's surprise, she was severely traumatized. No one knows what happened to her during those months, but she was extremely fearful and had lost all trust in humans. Fortunately, she has made significant progress. She has learned that people can be kind, and she enjoys attention and cuddles. She is showing more of her sweet personality. She can now walk nicely on a leash, allowing her to explore the world with humans. She gets along well with other dogs and is not a problem with cats. She loves to play and enjoys attention and cuddles. She may need some time to adjust to a new home and people, but with patience, love, and a peaceful environment, she will likely become a loyal and loving companion.

Ik heb geleerd dat mensen weer te vertrouwen zijn. Het heeft even geduurd, maar stap voor stap durf ik steeds meer te geloven dat er ook een veilige wereld voor mij bestaat. Ik ben Molly, geboren rond 2023. Ik ben ongeveer 50 cm groot en weeg rond de 28 kilo. Mijn leven heeft de afgelopen tijd nogal wat wendingen gehad. Vorig jaar werd ik gesteriliseerd en daarna weer teruggebracht naar de straat, omdat ik daar goed leek te functioneren en gewend was aan mijn vrije leven. Een paar maanden later werd ik gevangen en naar PS gebracht. Tot grote schrik van mijn rescuer was ik toen volledig getraumatiseerd. Niemand weet wat er in die maanden met mij is gebeurd, maar ik was ontzettend bang en had mijn vertrouwen in mensen helemaal verloren. Gelukkig ben ik inmiddels een heel eind verder. Stap voor stap heb ik geleerd dat mensen ook lief kunnen zijn. Ik durf weer contact te maken, geniet van aandacht en knuffels en laat steeds meer van mijn lieve karakter zien. Inmiddels kan ik zelfs netjes aan de lijn lopen, waardoor ik eindelijk samen met mensen de wereld kan gaan ontdekken. Ik kan goed overweg met andere honden en ook katten zijn geen probleem voor mij. Ik ben bovendien dol op spelen en geniet enorm van aandacht en knuffels. Ik zal waarschijnlijk wat tijd nodig hebben om te wennen aan een nieuw huis en nieuwe mensen. Na alles wat ik heb meegemaakt, is het niet gek als ik niet meteen ontspannen ben. Ik heb vooral rust, geduld en liefde nodig. Als ik eenmaal voel dat ik veilig ben, geloof ik dat er een ontzettend trouwe en liefdevolle hond in mij zit. Misschien heb ik wat langer nodig om mijn hart helemaal open te stellen. Maar wie mij die tijd geeft, krijgt er hopelijk een vriendin voor het leven voor terug.

About Molly

What life with Molly looks like

Molly is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Stichting Dogs on a Journey in Netherlands.

A young 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 Netherlands

Dutch shelters typically require a household assessment and an adoption contract. Animals are routinely sterilized, microchipped, and registered in the national pet database (NDG) before placement.

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. Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 — Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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. 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 Stichting Dogs on a Journey 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 (NL). 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.
