Molly's Story

Molly just after she came into the rescue frightened and confused

We first got Molly about 3 years ago. She was a very sad and troubled Shih Tzu with ill health.

She could not walk in a straight line and would just sit and yelp.  After veterinary treatment funded by the Shih Tzu Rescue the vet said she was very traumatized and after various vet visits and x-rays it was diagnosed as a neurological disorder.

Up until then she must have been having a miserable life with pain, and as a last resort the vet started Molly on a course of steroids and from that day on she has been a different dog.

Molly today!

Molly wouldn’t go for walks, have her lead on, play with toys or even allow you to stroke her. She  had to have a lead left on her just to get her to go on the garden.  But with a lot of love, time and loads of patience, she has become a loving little dog and very affectionate too, who now plays with toys and loves to go for a stroll.

She will have to continue on the treatment for life, but now she has started to enjoy life again. I would like to thank the Southern Shih Tzu Rescue for finding and rescuing Molly and making this sad little dog a very happy and loving one.


With many thanks
