Nina, now known as Molly, is the 10 pound girl that was pulled from a puppy mill in Lancaster County, PA in April 2011. She was 6 years old and kept outside in a rabbit hutch all year round. After being lovingly fostered by Jodi Groff, she found her forever home with the Bromley family.
When she was adopted, Molly showed some signs of a double luxating patella, but NEBTR didn't want to keep possible surgery from finding her a forever home. So the Bromleys were told that should her condition worsen, NEBTR would have the treating vet who Jodi used for her care perform the surgery at NEBTR expense.
It was determined this month that Molly indeed needed double luxating patella surgery. So the NEBTR community all pitched in to help. Brad Estabrook and Liz O'Connell met the Bromleys and transported her from Connecticut to New Jersey, where Lowell and Ellen Thelin picked up the next leg of the relay. They met Jodi Groff in Pennsylvania.
After the surgery, everyone me at Kamp Kanine to wish Molly a happy recovery and return to the Bromleys. Pictured above are Jodi Groff, holding Molly, and the Bromley family. Jodi noted, "I've had a lot of fosters but she is one of the ones that still tugs at my heart. The thought of such a social dog being held alone in a rabbit hutch then literally saved from being shot still haunts me. I couldn't have asked for a better family for her."
It definitely takes a village!
