Are You My Mother?

Do you remember that story? It used to be one of my favorites as a little girl. The poor little bird searching high and low looking all over the place for his mother. He asked everyone, even heavy equipment, cows if they were his mother. He just wanted a mother.

I think of this story every time I think about Dolly. This poor dog really had a rough beginning to her life and now is in a wonderful foster home, but still is looking for her mother. It grieves my heart that she has to make one more move but I know that one more move will be to her forever home. Right now, she thinks she is already in her forever home. She's happy and content and in a routine. She's adjusted to her new life. Little does she know she is just in a holding pattern. It's sad really. She deserves better. They all do.

Coming from an abused home, being run over from her own parents at age 12 weeks and left to heal broken bones with no medical attention must have been horrendous for her to endure but she did it. Dolly is a real trooper. About 6 months later, Lillian rescued out of a feces filled pen, filthy, cold and hungry. Her water bucket was frozen solid and the lean to she had for shelter turned on her and fell, scalping her leaving a gash on her head. Covered in fleas, Lillian took her home and rescued her from that hell hole.

Dolly's front leg had a crook in it. We raised money to get her to the vet. After x-rays, we found out that her hip socket was out of joint and needed repair quickly, cuz Dolly was in pain. Her leg was crooked because that was where it was broken and how it grew back. She also had broken her pelvis in 5 places but that seemed to have healed ok.

We put out pleas across the internet and collected funds, did fundraisers, people bought my cookies and I was able to donate too and we got enough money to get her hip surgery. Then we went after her leg. Some folks wanted to just amputate it, but Lillian and I wouldn't have any part of that! We collected more money and finally, she's had her surgery. her leg is about 2 inches shorter than the rest of her legs, but at least it's straight! YAY!!

Now, she is in need of her forever home. DOLLY'S MOMMY...PLEASE COME AND TAKE HER HOME. She needs you. She's a healthy girl, happy, submissive, dog, cat, kid friendly. She's had all her shots.
