Molly ended up in a Los Angeles city shelter at age eight, when her guardian passed away. She was brought in with a younger dog, who was quickly adopted, but she was left behind. She was rescued on her "last day" and now lives in a fabulous home in Burnaby, where her family takes her for long walks and spends lots of time with her every day. She is considered to be a valuable member of the family.

***An update from Molly's family:

"When we first got Molly, she really wasn't sure what to make of her new home. Whenever we would go out, she would cry because she felt abandoned again. Nowadays, it is a whole different story. This dog is incredible in both her intelligence and her love for her new family. She is an absolute pleasure to have around. When we get home from work, she will meet us at the stairs with her tail literally hitting her ribcage, she is so excited. All in all, we feel like the luckiest dog owners to have the pleasure of Molly's company."
