Arizona Golden Rescue

Sadie, now Molly, was 14 weeks old at intake. She was chewing up matting in the backyard that the landlord had out and was digging in the yard. The owner was concerned that the matting is toxic and was going to clog Sadie’s digestive system and she could not afford medical care so felt it was best to surrender her before anything dire happened. Sadie’s original vetting was done at one of our wonderful partner veterinarians. She was given the DHPP, bordetella, and rabies vaccines and was micro-chipped. Three weeks later, she had a booster DHPP, a fecal and a urinalysis done at another of our wonderful partner veterinarians. Sadie came in with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and was on meds; the infection has been eliminated. Fecal analysis did not detect any parasites, but Sadie did have a gassy stomach, so a food change was suggested. Sadie still needs to be spayed and we will have that done earlier than the usual 1 year of age, because her companion is an un-neutered older male – her appointment for spaying has been scheduled in May. She was adopted by an adoptive couple. The day after we transported the dog to the FWITAs, the adopter reported:

Molly is doing so well, she is sleeping through the night, asks to go out for potty and is having a blast with Boots! We took out the two barrel cactus and removed all of the lantanas out of the yard so Molly can run and have fun. In a recent update, the adopter said: Molly is doing great and is having fun with her new “brother” Boots. I can’t believe she is already 6 months! We have her scheduled for her spay in a couple of weeks and later will be getting some training to see if she is a good fit to be a therapy dog. She already knows so many commands and is very smart along side being very cute. We look forward to future events that the rescue will have so that you all can see her. Thanks again for giving us our sweet Molly.
