DOG OF THE WEEK – Help Molly find her Forever Home

Molly's Story...


Molly is a 3 month old St. Bernard/Shepherd mix. Fully grown she will be a large dog estimated between 61 and 100 pounds. Home for Good Dog Rescue rescued Molly from a high kill shelter in York, South Carolina. When she came to New Jersey, she had unusual and bloody diarrhea.

On Saturday, January 4th, Molly was brought to Garden State Veterinary Hospital for emergency surgery; where it was discovered that Molly had a double Intussusception.  Read about her issue here. It is believed that while she was at the shelter in South Carolina, Molly was so infested with worms and parasites that it damaged her colon. The doctors at Garden State Veterinary Hospital removed about a foot and a half of Molly’s intestines. Molly received the best care possible at Garden State Veterinary. The surgery went extremely well and Molly is expected to make a full recovery.  A special fundraiser has been set up for Molly’s expenses.

Molly’s recovery has gone well and she is now available for adoption. She is spayed and up to date with shots.

About Home for Good Dog Rescue:

 

Home for Good is a volunteer-based, 501(c) (3) non-profit animal rescue. We are a 100 percent foster based organization with an office in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. Our organization is dedicated to rescuing dogs from deplorable conditions in kill shelters, tending to their physical needs and finding them a new loving home where they can thrive.

At Home for Good, we seek the best treatment for our animals. We provide medical care, training, support and hope. Our dogs are vaccinated and ID micro-chipped. We rescue puppies and dogs that are facing euthanasia. Some require surgery from a specialist to repair broken limbs, while others may need additional rehabilitation time and specific medical care for respiratory illnesses, skin infections, heartworm treatments, and emergency surgeries. Through our adoption services, these loving animals are given a chance at a happy and fulfilled life.
