Meet Molecule – A Little Lapdog with a Big Heart and Gentle Soul Quick Facts: Breed: Chihuahua mix Age: 3 years Weight: 11 lbs (underweight – gaining gradually) House-Trained: In progress Crate-Trained: Not needed – does fine when left alone Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: No – adult-only home required Energy Level: Low to moderate Fence Required: No Special Traits: Excellent cuddler, prefers quiet handling, thrives with calm and patient training Why You’ll Love Molecule: Sweet, snuggly, and loves to curl up in your lap Gets along well with other calm pets Fine being left alone without a crate Low energy – perfect for a cozy companion lifestyle Has a gentle, curious personality Responds best to soft, patient, positive-reinforcement training Makes a loving shadow once he feels safe and secure About Molecule’s Breed: Chihuahua mixes are known for their loyalty, affection, and strong attachment to their favorite people. They often form deep bonds and thrive in calm, nurturing homes. With their small size and big personalities, they bring a ton of love in a tiny package. Molecule is no exception—he’s sweet, a little shy, and incredibly affectionate once he trusts you. Molecule’s Story & Personality: Molecule is a small guy with a lot of love to give, and he’s still learning how to navigate life in a home. At just 11 lbs and slightly underweight, he’s gaining strength and confidence each day. He’s not fully housebroken yet, but he’s improving quickly and can be left alone without needing to be crated. He does have some food resource guarding, so we are requiring an adult-only home with no children. Molecule also prefers women and is a little hesitant with men—but with slow, positive introductions, he can warm up just fine. He’s good with both cats and dogs and enjoys a peaceful, pet-friendly environment. Though he’s low to moderate in energy, Molecule is incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than snuggling into your lap or relaxing by your side. He’s easygoing overall but needs a gentle, consistent approach to training. He responds well to quiet correction and will do best with someone willing to use clicker training or other soft, positive-reinforcement methods. Loud voices or rough handling are not a match for this sensitive little soul. Molecule’s Ideal Home: A calm, adult-only household Someone experienced with or open to gentle, non-verbal training methods A quiet home where he can build trust slowly Another calm pet would be fine (dog or cat) A snuggly human who appreciates a soft-hearted little companion Someone who understands that trust takes time—but is well worth the wait Ready to Give a Gentle Pup the Soft Landing He Deserves? Molecule is looking for someone to show him the world doesn’t have to be scary—that love can be calm, patient, and full of snuggles. With the right environment, he will thrive and return your kindness with deep loyalty and affection. If you’re looking for a quiet, loving lapdog to share your life with, Molecule might just be the perfect fit. Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. To ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.

All assessments regarding breed and age are conducted by licensed veterinarians. We look forward to assisting you in finding your perfect canine companion!

Adopt Molecule and Receive Molecule's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Molecule's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Molecule's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Molecule, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Molecule's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Molecule was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Molecule’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Molecule’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Molecule’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
