Adopt Une renaissance tardive pour Molly

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Adult · 7 years

Molly, a 10-year-old beagle, finally discovers the joys of freedom after being adopted by the SPA de Thionville (Moselle) in January 2019. Molly's new owners shared with us: "By following the GRAAL news, we saw that the SPA near us had just welcomed several laboratory dogs: they all deserved to find a home but we fell in love with Molly." "She had little chance of being adopted because of her age and her atopic dermatitis which requires daily treatment. When she came to our home, she didn't know how to climb stairs and was very timid." "It has been a bit more than two months since she has been with us. She is making progress every day: she no longer fears eating in our presence, she starts to come ask for pets and even greets us when we come back! She is very calm, gets along well with our old cat (it must be said that he explained who was the 'boss' with a few pats at the beginning) and enjoys walks, especially if we stay away from city noises and there is greenery. She even made some friends at the park! She even got to discover snow, for the first time." "Of course, she has her own little character and takes over the sofa all day long, but we think that after the life she had, we can give in on this point! She enjoys family life and we are really happy to be able to offer her a nice retirement." The GRAAL team wishes Molly and her family a happy life!

Molly, une beagle de dix ans, découvre enfin les joies de la liberté après son adoption à la SPA de Thionville (Moselle) courant janvier 2019. Les propriétaires de Molly se sont confiés à nous : « En suivant les actus du GRAAL, nous avions vu que la SPA tout près de chez nous venait d’accueillir plusieurs chiens de laboratoire : tous méritaient de trouver un foyer mais nous avons eu un coup de cœur pour Molly» « Elle avait peu de chances d’être adoptée en raison de son âge et de sa dermatite atopique qui nécessite un traitement quotidien. Quand elle est arrivée chez nous, elle ne savait pas monter les escaliers et elle était très craintive» « Cela fait un peu plus de deux mois qu’elle est avec nous. Elle fait chaque jour des progrès : elle n’a plus peur de manger en notre présence, commence à venir réclamer des caresses et nous fait même la fête quand on rentre ! Elle est très calme, s’entend bien avec notre vieux chat (il faut dire qu’il lui a expliqué qui était le « patron » avec quelques coups de pattes au début) et apprécie les promenades, surtout si on s’éloigne des bruits de la ville et qu’il y a de la verdure. Elle s’est même fait des copains au parc ! Elle a même pu découvrir la neige, une première » « Bien sûr, elle a son petit caractère et squatte le canapé à longueur de journée, mais on se dit qu’après la vie qu’elle a eue, on peut bien céder sur ce point ! Elle apprécie la vie de famille et nous sommes vraiment heureux de pouvoir lui offrir une belle retraite » L’équipe du Graal souhaite une heureuse vie à Molly et sa famille !
