FREE MOLLY - HELP HER WALK AGAIN!

Molly came to MHC at the end of June with two other dogs, Princess and Jojo.

A kind citizen had rescued them from out in the County were people are known to dump unwanted animals. They were given shelter and food for as long as possible.  

However, taking care of too many unwanted dogs became too much for one home and they needed a helping hand. 

Thus, Molly and her bunch ended up in MHC's care in hopes of securing forever homes. 

This is Molly's story and the beginning of her journey to wellness! 



Sweet Molly is an 8 year old Chihuahua with perky ears,  bright eyes and an exuberant spirit! 

These days, Molly has been feeling down in the dumps. An old ACL injury* has been giving her a lot of pain in her right  hind leg, which has decreased her ability to move around and be her happy little self. 

*WHAT IS AN ACL INJURY? A torn ACL in dogs is actually a torn CCL, or cranial cruciate ligament. Although this ligament performs a similar function to the ACL in humans, a dog’s anatomy is different. The CCL connects the back of the femur to the front of the tibia and stabilizes the knee joint. Rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament is a serious condition that could permanently hinder a dog’s mobility. ​

If your dog develops a sudden lameness in a hind leg, it could be a torn knee ligament. This is a very common injury in dogs.  Some 
other symptoms include sitting abnormally, swelling of the knee, and stiffness or clicking sounds while walking. See your vet if you notice any of these symptoms.

The vet has recommended for Molly to get surgery done  to alleviate pain and improve mobility. 
​​
Not wanting Molly to suffer any further, we promptly scheduled her in for a surgery on August 5th (the estimated fees for this type of surgery is $1200). 


We think little Molly deserves a chance to live a pain-free, active life. She can't wait to get on with her life and find a forever home! 
​
Help us help Molly! Donate to our Vet Care Funds so we can help Molly get the surgery and rehabilitation that she needs. 

​Thank you for your help.
