Pet of the Week: Molly

Molly is available for adoption through the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham Shelter.

Molly is an approximately 2-year-old female pit bull type dog. She came to the shelter from an animal control facility and was originally found as a stray. She is a very sweet girl who loves everyone she meets! She knows some basic commands like sit, stay, and come, and is eager to learn more. She seems to be housetrained in the shelter, but will probably need a refresher once she gets to her new home. Molly loves to play with any kind of toy, especially tennis balls and plush squeaky toys! She likes other dogs and plays well with them, but should not live with other dogs because she doesn't like to share her toys. She would do best with children over the age of 10 due to her possessive nature concerning toys. Molly does not bark much, but…

Pet of the Week: Cammy, a Pug Mix

Cammy is available for adoption through the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham shelter.

Cammy is an approximately 2-year-old female Pug mix.   She is a very cute and sweet little girl who will be a wonderful addition to the right home. Cammy can be shy at first with new people, but once she gets to know you she is very friendly. She does not know any basic commands, so her new owners should consider taking her to training classes so she can learn good manners!  She loves toys and is very playful. Cammy plays well with other dogs but we do not know how she would be with cats. Cammy has what we call "food aggression" and is very possessive of food, rawhides, and treats. If Cammy has something that is valuable to her and she thinks that someone is going to take it away from her, she will bite.   Cammy's food aggression is …
