PALMETTO, GA (CBS ATLANTA) -
A 16-year-old from Palmetto has a big heart and a soft spot for dogs.
One dog at a time, Molly Tillander rescues homeless dogs that are often sick. She helps to put them on track for adoption.
Tillander's latest dog adopted out is a Beagle-mix named Chance.
Tillander taught Chance more than 40 tricks, including the basics like sit and stay, to fun-loving tricks like having Chance take off Tillander's socks.
Chance is the second beagle Tillander has worked with through Atlanta Beagle Rescue.
"I foster dogs with beagle rescue because I wanted to adopt a beagle. And I wanted to know more about them before I just adopted one. Then I ended up wanting to just keep fostering," Tillander said.
Tillander and her bothers, Alec and Jacob, are currently helping out a Labrador-mix named Bailey. Bailey was found abandoned and sickly on the side of the road just last Thursday.
Tillander is already at work trying to teach her new tricks.
Even though she's not a beagle, once healthy enough Bailey will be available for adoption through Atlanta Beagle Rescue.
