Hello, my name is Molly. My animal id is #17401. I am a female tri color dog at the Brooklyn Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 10 years old.
I came into the shelter as a stray on 31-Dec-2017.
Molly is at risk for medical concerns, she has mammary gland tumors and she is geriatric with possible other underlying conditions. A full veterinary geriatric work up including blood work is strongly recommended upon placement or adoption. Molly has been friendly in the care center and allows all handling.
