Dog Handling Tips: Molly – 16 year old female Patterdale Terrier

Molly is a pretty 16 year old female Patterdale Terrier, with adorable grey eyebrows, who is in an Oldies Club foster home in East Wittering, West Sussex, waiting for someone to offer her a permanent home. Happiest as an only dog: Molly isn’t keen on meeting other dogs, but this just seems to be for self-protection as she is partially blind. There is a possibility that she could live with a very calm and quiet, compatible dog.

Can’t live with cats: Molly might be 16 but she still enjoys chasing cats. Older children only: Molly would prefer a quiet home, but she should be fine around calm children aged over 10. She is easily surprised as she is deaf and partially sighted, bless her. Molly’s favourite pastimes: Sunbathing, walks and sleeping. Molly’s dislikes: The vacuum cleaner.

Molly’s ideal home: Molly would love to live with an older, active person who will take her for nice walks but who will also be at home a lot of the time. Health notes: Molly is neutered and has been vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. At her vet check she was found to have a small fatty lump but no treatment is necessary. She has a supplement named Aktivait, for doggy dementia, which she will need to keep taking.
