This Happy Tail was submitted by one of our adoptors, Amanda. She found Hard to Adopt Moli (eye problem, arthritis, senior, blind) at one of our Bingo Benefits (an event we use to help get attention, raise awareness, and help Hard to Adopt Dogs find homes).
Ms. Moli Jones chose us to take her home in a crowded bar one rainy NYC night. She snuggled tight into Brian's arms looked up with her big gookie eyes and we could not resist.
The decision to keep her was difficult as she is a special needs dog. At least that is what we believed when we took her in.She supposedly was blind and arthritic. Our vet was far from reassuring when we had her first checked looked at. She suggested eye drops on a daily basis, weekly baths with medicated shampoo and patience. Well the sweet, docile, elderly, blind, arthritic pug has turned into the house Matriarch!
Once we started with daily eye regimen her eye sight improved, home cooked meals and weekly baths fixed her skin condition
and suddenly the arthritis has not impeded her jumping off the couch, chasing the cats nor her weekly Pug Parties in the Park.
Our Vet is so impressed how much a little bit of love can turn a 10 year old lost cause into a great sassy Dame! She truly is not the dog we rescued and we are so glad that we took on the responsibility to take in a special needs dog. She has brought more joy to our lives then we could possible give her. We are glad to give her a happy home for the rest of her life.
