Description: When you look in Mollie’s shining eyes, it is hard to imagine that just a few months ago she was a sad, bedraggled, little girl with no future. Mollie was picked up as a stray in August of last year. She was dangerously thin, dirty and frightened. But Mollie had even bigger problems, ones that couldn’t be solved with a bath and a few good meals. Shortly after coming to her MWCR foster home, she was diagnosed with ectopic ureters that caused her to “leak” urine. The solution was a complex and expensive surgery to correct her condition. Without it, Mollie had no hope for a new home and a normal life.

Now, only four short months later, Mollie’s surgery is behind her and her recovery is complete. No more leaks! She is a normal, happy, healthy collie girl. There are no anticipated after effects or long term issues associated with this surgery, although it is important that her forever home is aware that she has an “implanted occluder.” In the highly unlikely circumstance that she should ever require abdominal surgery, her veterinarian would need to have this information.

Mollie is so appreciative of everything that has been done for her. She loves to be with her people and whether they are cooking in the kitchen or watching TV in the living room, Mollie is there happily watching their every move. She is good with children, including young ones. She also loves her canine foster siblings and even allows the family feline to curl up with her. There are no strangers in Mollie’s life, only new friends who have come to pet her.

Mollie knows how to sit on command and how to “high five.” She will usually come when called, unless she is busy with some especially interesting play. She is almost completely housetrained, although she has not yet figured out how to let her foster mom know when she wants to go out. Her time on the street and her prior medical condition combined to make housetraining more challenging for Mollie than for most dogs, but she has made great strides.

Mollie loves to play with the other dogs at her foster home, but because she is a petite little girl, their rough and tumble style is sometimes too much for her. When that happens, she will scold them as if to say, “Calm down guys; I want to play too!” She likes to urge her big brother to play by chewing on his fur or pulling on the scruff of his neck until he catches on. She loves attention of all kinds, whether it involves play or just snuggling up.

Mollie likes to check out the world around her and will happily hop into the car to go for a ride. No road trip is too long for her. She also likes to explore on foot and walks very nicely on her leash.

Without the loving care of her foster family and the generous contributions that made her surgery possible, Mollie would have had no future at all. Now, the sky is the limit for this pretty girl. She would prefer a fenced yard, so there is no chance of her ever being lost again. Other than that, she would do well in almost any environment: kids, dogs, cats, young people or seniors – Mollie loves them all. And they all love Mollie.
