Name: MOLLY Age:�%A0 �%A04.5 years Breed: Beagle / Cocker Spaniel Mix Sex:�%A0 23# Female (spayed, per owner) Location:�%A0Contra Costa County, CA Vet Information: Current on vaccinations and HW negative (per owner) Owner report: Owner rescued Molly from a shelter and did not know of Molly's visual problems. Owner is unable to care for Molly due to her own diabilities. Shelter is full so they can not take Molly back. Molly is describe as an indoor dog with the run of the house. She is said to be house broken and leash trained. Molly is reported to be nervous, shy and good with adults and cats. Molly's owner reports 'Because of her visual impairment, my suspicion is that she sometimes misreads other dogs who approach her too quickly, so that's when she snaps or growls at them. She is insanely jealous of my other cats; when I pet them, she comes to me and demands that I pet her too/instead�'�|She has snapped, but never made contact or broken the skin, and I 100% believe that it's because she cannot clearly see the other dog and recognize that it's not attacking her or putting her in danger. I think she goes into defense mode when she can't tell who or what is coming at her. She is easily corrected and this happens maybe 1 time out of every 30 walks.' Molly's owner reports that Molly is a puppy mill survivor. 'She's very sweet, loving, and fundamentally not aggressive. She has had a rough past and still has some triggers; for example, she doesn't like surprises and that's when she barks but otherwise she's silent. She doesn't even bark when the doorbell rings. She's cuddly on the couch, loves to be warm and snuggly, sleeps in her crate at night, and is slowly learning to be left at home alone without barking.' Can anyone help little Molly? **Owner Surrender Disclaimer: These are blind and visually impaired dogs who are living in homes, but their owners can no longer keep them.
