Molly's Story -
Typically
we are so inundated with owner surrenders, we can't make
it down to pull from our very own shelter.. and when we
did, there would be usually 3-5 labs and all would have
a waiting list.
One Friday
afternoon, I got a call from another rescue group here
in Las Vegas, saying she had pulled some of her breed
from the shelter and there were TONS of purebred labs in
there. With the shelter being so crowded, they were
euthanizing 10-20 dogs PER DAY. I immediately called my
foster home and we made plans to go try to save at least
a couple.
In the same
room that we saw Mason (see his Happy Tail as well)
we saw this adorable, shy yellow girl.. just standing in
her kennel looking confused, surrounded by about 8 or 9
other dogs. There was dog poop everywhere and she looked
so sad willing us to take her. Of course we did!
We pulled
her along with Mason and since they were so
overcrowded and they had not vetted her either, we were
able to just pull her and leave.
After a long, wonderful life, we lost
our golden retriever to cancer and weren't sure we
were ready to open our hearts to another animal.
However, when Lisa emailed us a picture of Molly, we
knew we had to have her in our home.
Molly is the sweetest thing and we
can't imagine how anyone could leave her. It broke
our hearts to hear how she was found. We choose to
believe that she was meant for us instead. Molly is
extremely loving and very smart. She's eager to
please and is doing very well in
training. She loves her daily outings in our
neighborhood trails and is very social with people
and other dogs. She loves rides in the Jeep
and going to the dog park to play. Molly also loves
to watch TV and sits completely still staring at
the other dogs on "The Dog Whisperer". It's very
funny to watch her! Of all of her new toys,
her favorite is a huge "bone" that she carries
around the house hanging from her lips. Being true
to her nature, we don't lose things anymore
as everything she finds she brings to us! :) We
could never have imagined we'd fall so in love with
her so quickly! She's a wonderful addition to our
family.
Thank you, Lisa and your "helpers",
for your hard work and commitment to giving Molly
and others like her a better life. I'm certain ours
is not the only family you have made complete!
Mike, Cheryl and Molly Bolander
