All about me...
Hi, my name is Molly. I'm a Kelpie x Border Collie. My beginnings weren't the best. There was a time when I was homeless and starving. This all changed the day the council picked me up and handed me over to the Lonsdale RSPCA shelter. I was finally given some food and shelter. But the best was yet to come...on Wednesday the 24th of July, I was adopted into my new home. I've never looked back. My days are spent playing with my many toys, going for long walks and playing with my best friend, a Border Collie named Charlie.
I really love...
Play fighting with Charlie, playing with my soccer ball, getting groomed, going for walks and playing at the park.

- Teach your child to interact appropriately with dogs and not to 'play-fight' or play 'tug-of-war' games with them. Dogs can get overexcited or frightened if there is a lot of noise. So put your dog out of the way when children are playing loud games and running around.
- Teach your dog to sit before you allow visitors to stroke it. Allowing it to jump up on people may frighten or annoy them, and children may feel very intimidated by the dog’s behaviour.
- If you see a dog with its owner,always ask the owner for permission to pat the dog. Allow the dog to sniff the back of your hand first. If it is happy to be patted, it will sniff your hand and move towards you. You can then stroke the dog under its chin.
- Take your dog to puppy pre-school or dog obedience school. It is very important for dogs, in particular puppies, to be socialised with other dogs and people. Remember - if your dog is trained and issued with a training certificate, you will receive a rebate on your dog registration fee.
- Dogs can be scared by sudden disturbances. Scared dogs may bite. Always call the dog first so that you do not surprise it. Do not go near any dog when it is eating its meal or chewing a bone, especially if you do not know the dog. If you approach, the dog may bite to defend its food.
