Mollie is a 12-year-old Alaskan M alamute/Border Collie in St Joseph, MO, who needs $1,100 for Orthopedic leg brace, cost of sedating and doing the leg casting for brace.

Hello, I got "MOLLIE" when my son was leaving after highschool for the military. I just knew that I would be completely devastated emotionally and realized that having something else to care for would lessen my grief. The man that worked on vehicle for me knew of these people who's Alaskan Malamute who had a litter of pups. They were free with one stipulation, I had to write a letter to them.

Mollie loves her people and tolerates her little brother and sister. She lost her other little brother Zeus in 2020 and it left us all devastated including her. She's 12 but is still full of vigor and life. She used to play tug of war and win most of the time. She loves her chew chews, and is always ready for cuddles.

Mollie and my son have howl fests frequently and once a month when the tornado siren in my front yard goes off. She's always been curious about everything and a go getter. She used to run like the wind, I mean 30-40 miles and hour, she was fast. She has slowed down but we can tell she still wants to go, but can't without her leg being strong enough.

Mollie blew out her left ACL in March of 2020 and we immediately set up the surgery. She blew the right out in Sept of 2020, the same month we lost Zeus, but we set up the surgery and just kept pushing on. She had to have surgery again on the right leg because of the band loosening. Dr. Randall Schildnect from Twin Pines Vet Clinic has been nothing but wonderful and gracious to this beautiful girl

I'm a 56 year old mom who has had back surgery, a spinal fusion, and my son works nights which pretty much leaves me to do all the dog stuff, including lifting her in the back door as she can't jump. Brace alone is $899. Brace will help rebuild strength in her leg.
