Just Molly likes painting, reading, and playing video games, though. While she has experience with dogs as a trainer at Petco, Molly's heart belongs to the kitties. She has set herself on the path of animal care after working at the Oregon Humane Society and deciding that she loved it! That love has led her to pursue this career and she hopes to continue her education to eventually become a vet tech.

Currently, Ebony lives in Milwaukie with her boyfriend Justin, their two ferrets (Zoro and Korra) and corn snake (Zuko).
