WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Like any good NYC gal, Molly Missy knows fashion. This darling girl pairs a stunning black coat with a white chest, and has the latest in spotted paw accessories. Molly Missy’s impeccable manners match her sense of style. Once outside she demonstrated she is likely housetrained and walks perfectly on leash. This gal is beyond her crazy puppy years, and was happy to sit by my side and soak up the sun. After some hugs, kisses and treats, this fashionista let me know she’s not just another pretty pup. Sit, paw and stay are all in her repertoire. NYC fashion week is just around the corner, so hurry over to the care center and meet Molly Missy. She’d love to be your date!
