Review for Mollys Place, Mechanicsburg, PA, USA

Rating: 3 stars  

When my husband and I started looking for a dog, we went to many places. We ended up at Molly's (finding it on petfinder.com) in April 2006. The place is different from other rescues and shelters no doubt. The area is "free" roaming which does make it difficult to have any one on one time with the dogs. None the less we visited, looked around, but didn't get anything at the first visit, however, we were impressed enough to return 2 weeks later and adopted a mixed breed dog. Toby has been absolutely wonderful! His paperwork indicated that his time had been up at the kill shelter and that's how he ended up there. He's always been extremely healthy and we just love him so much. Two years later in March 2008 we decided we wanted a second...did no research, went straight back to Molly's. We adopted an 8 week old tri-color puggle who's history indicated he had come from a closed down puppy mill. Keyser too is a wonderful dog and there have been no health issues as far as Molly is concerned, he does however have issues that are very common in puggles and probably are contributed to being "puppy mill" bred.

Would I adopt from there again? Most certainly. I've been in much worse places and I've been in better...but for the most part its cleanliness and smells are the same as all others.

Would I recommend them to someone else? Yes, I would and have.

Do I find their prices too high? No. Toby's price would of matched our vet bill if we would of had him neutered and given shots. Keyser's price was a little more, but I wanted a puggle and breeder prices were $900 or more. Keyser was much less than that.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Private areas for people to take the dog they are interested in for some one on one time. We lucked out both times, but I can see where this could be an issue. You need more space....and if you can't expand, you need to know your limitations - you just cannot save every animal out there.
