It is with great sadness that we share the peaceful passing of Molly, the Paradise Ridge Chamber ’s beloved Small Business Support Pup.

Molly joined the Chamber pack in October 2018 and quickly became an essential assistant to anyone holding a snack. In the aftermath of the Camp Fire, she worked out of offices in Marysville, Chico, Live Oak, and even the CEO’s car—taking her duties in stride, one paw at a time.

Her illustrious career included plenty of sniff-and-greets, distinguished visitors, and a pawsitive influence on office morale. Through challenging times, Molly kept tails wagging and spirits lifted.

Please enjoy these photos of her career and the luminaries she met along the way, and share your fond memories in the comments. She left paw prints on our hearts, and we will miss her dearly.

With special thanks to Animal Hospital on the Ridge for their care and kindness. 🐾❤️
