Molly is a 9-year-old Dachshund in Asheville , NC, who needs $800 for Oral Dental Surgery.

Molly was a rescue. She liked to run away and the dog catchers got her. I found her in a shelter in AR. Immediately I fell in love with her, she melted my heart. She had a crook in her tail. I'm thinking it was a screen door slamming on it. She continued to scoot out the door whenever the opportunity arose. She has finally slowed down at the age of 9 years

Molly has a little brother that was adopted also. I gave him to her as a tiny puppy for her to mother. Although, he is larger than her, she is definitely the boss. They clean each other's ears daily and play together like crazy. My little Molly rules the roost in our household being only 10 lbs. My grandson cherishes her and takes care of her when we are away, with the help of his mom.

Molly likes to play with the smallest of toys. She has torn apart at least a dozen sqeeky rabbits. Will do anything for a treat. She's very smart and will outwit her brother for a certain toy or treat. She had back trouble 1 1/2 yrs ago but with lots of TLC she has made a full recovery. She's a spunky little girl.

Molly has a very bad abcessed jaw tooth. Dr. BRAD GOFF with Asheville Veterinary Ass. In Asheville, NC, is her vet. He also says her teeth needs to be cleaned and scraped. Her abcess is draining puss and therefore her breath smells like a skunk died in her mouth. Dr. Goff says the surgery will cost about $1000, depending on how long it takes to extract this jaw tooth that has 3 roots on it.

I am a senior living on a fixed income. I receive social security and disability. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated. I love my Molly and don't want her to suffer anymore. She'll be taking antibiotics and pain meds until her surgery. Thank you for reading
