A Pets For Vets Match Story

Ricki and Molly

My dog Stuie, had to be rehomed due to aggression towards first responders that were trying to help me. I went into depression and didn’t think anything could make me happy again. Then Pets for Vets gave me Molly, a pug/chihuahua mix, and I’m not looking back. She is a joy. Her tail goes all the time, she’s the happiest little girl. She brought back my faith in dogs’ ability to like everyone and not turn on some people. This whole experience has been better than I ever expected, (except for the wait to get her) Molly is always surprising me with new cute behaviors. She lifts my spirits daily and I am depending on her more and more.
