DOG HAS BEEN HOMELESS FOR 11 YEARS
A BOXER cross faced with spending her twilight years in kennels is in desperate need of a loving home.
Molly was found wandering the streets as a stray at just eight months old and has now spent nearly 11 years living in kennels without a family.
She does not have owners to love and cherish her or take her out for walks in the park, but is desperate to be moved, say animal shelter staff.
As Molly enters into old age, charity bosses are desperately trying to find her a family that can take care of her and give her the love she deserves, reports Leicestershire Live.
Celine Di Crocco, manager at Dogs Trust Loughborough, said: “Molly is a very special girl with a big heart and we would love her to finally find the home she deserves.
“Although she has unfortunately not spent much time in a home, Molly has stayed with me and she was the ideal house guest.
“She was perfectly comfortable with all the different sounds and smells, slept in the lounge at night and we enjoyed a cuddle on the sofa in the evening.
“She had a really tough start in life, but every dog really does deserve a loving family and we’re hoping that Molly finally gets to meet hers.”
Celine said Molly likes to take her time to get to know people, but once she does, they will have a four-legged friend and companion for life.
As she missed out on so much as a puppy, having to fend for herself, she is understandably anxious around strangers and other dogs, so the team are looking for a quiet, calm home for her with no more than two adults and no other pets.
Celine said: “She really is a gorgeous girl so if someone is looking to welcome an older dog into their lives, then she could be the one.
“We look after all of our dogs until the time is right for them to head home with their very own family, however long that takes, so Molly will be with us until that day comes, but we would like to think her wait will soon be over.”
Anyone who thinks that Molly could be their perfect match is asked to call the Dogs Trust Loughborough on 01509 273349 to arrange to meet her.
As she has been in kennels for a long time, her new family will need to meet her several times at the rehoming centre so they can build a bond with her.
