About this campaign
Between sobs, Molly's human parents told Waggle that Molly's heart condition is growing more critical, and that's breaking their own hearts.
"My world was shattered when Molly was diagnosed with early congestive heart failure," Tammi, Molly's human mom, says. "She needs an echocardiogram, bloodwork, and medication to get her stabilized, which will significantly prolong her life."
Right now, Molly's parents are in a financial bind, both are disabled, and Tammi has been battling two kinds of cancer. Money is tight, and they can't afford Molly's tests and treatment.
The adorable Chiweenie means the world to them. Tammi and her partner, Ben. R. took Molly in ten years ago. The pup was just a couple of weeks old and needed to be bottle-fed. The three of them now share the most incredible bond.
When Tammi needed comfort during all her cancer treatments, Molly was there for her. "She was so gentle she would put her head on me and give me kisses. She gave me the strength to fight through it," Tammi says. "I've never seen a dog so aware of my pain."
Tammi and Ben say they would love to get Molly's tests run immediately at the Countryside Animal Clinic where they're working with Dr. Cox. Molly currently gets winded quickly, and her breathing is affected. She's just not herself. The couple thanks anyone who can donate and help.
"We can't tell you how much this means to us," Ben says, fighting back tears. "You're helping to save this wonderful girl!"
