Tomorrow it will be 30 days since I picked up Molly to begin fostering her.

Molly was part of a litter born with no home, to a feral mom that someone probably dumped on the side of the road one day in a rural area. Many attempts to catch and spay the mama dog have occurred, to no avail. Molly was part of a trio of pups destined for suffering.

The first stop was to her rescuers home. JB bathed and bathed the flea riddled pups, removing nests of fleas from the suffering seven week old babies.

Next the puppy went to respite, into the home of a veteran foster mom. For a week, she received love, deworming, and flea medicine.

The call was put out for foster homes for the pups. As soon as I saw her picture, my heart was broken. So at eight weeks old and just five pounds of fluff, the puppy came to our house so we could foster her.

This rescue is all foster volunteers, and that love and devotion has a great success rate. It is not, however, without work!

I named her Molly, and set about socializing, crate training, and growing this little pup.

My Aussie, Mitzi, is a natural mother, though she has never had a litter of her own. She taught Molly the things puppies need to know from Mama dogs.

Molly loves to wake up around 0500, and that’s been tough – but she is being crate trained, so I arose and ran her out, Mitzi by her side.

30 days tomorrow.

I’d be lying if I said my heart isn’t breaking a little bit to know that tomorrow, she goes to her forever home. She’s so confident and social and SAFE with us. She’s already overcome so much, and now she is starting over.

She’s 12 weeks old now, and has tripled in size since we got her. She’s had great food, exercise, and lots of play. Of course, she’s been very much loved.

Ah, Molly girl, you have touched our hearts. Godspeed as you go to your new home – the application has been vetted, the home study has been done. The contract is signed, and you will be spayed at 4-6 months, microchipped, and given all the necessary vaccinations.

We wish you happiness and much love. Thank you for letting us share your world for 30 days.
