Janet Brien's photos with the keyword: rescue dog

This picture is worth a thousand words. Steve and Molly are in love and it's a joy to see their relationship. Molly is our Border Collie rescue, and as you can see, she only has three legs. That doesn't stop her though and she gets around just fine. She loves the water, so Steve made a wish come true by taking her for a walk on the beach when we went to Brookings, Oregon. It was such a wonderful thing to see them so happy together! :) (If you would like to read about Molly's story, here's a link to another picture and more information. ) By the way, I've uploaded 2 other pictures today and I hope you'll visit them too! Thanks to all of you who have visited and have left comments and favorites! I try to go to all of your pages within a day or two and is a highlight for me to see your beautiful photography! :) Explored on October 9, 2012, highest position #247.

(Please scroll down to see my favorite picture of Molly, taken by Steve, my husband) This is our beautiful rescue dog, Molly, who's been through so much, but has found a forever home with us. Unfortunately, about six months after she and her 6-month old puppy found their way onto our property, she ran off with her wandering pup, and when she came back a week later, we discovered that she'd been caught in a snare trap. The leg could not be saved, but Molly now lives inside as a royal member of our family and we love her dearly. (Her son ran off for longer and longer periods, and the last time he came to visit, we realized that he'd found a home because he was well-fed and healthy.) This picture was taken at the top of our ridge, and as you can see, Molly is very happy and very tired! She really wanted to come along on one of my walks with Moosie and Zoe, and, in a moment of weakness, I relented and let her go up to the top of the hill with us. She was very proud and happy that she got to go, and I made sure to go slowly so she could get up to the top and rest along the way.I took this picture at the top as we relaxed for a while. Once she'd rested enough, she wanted to continue, and we went the whole way along the ridge (about half a mile) and she loved every moment of the adventure! We do our best to let Molly have all the experiences she can--she can do so much on three legs but we have to stop her from trying to do too much because she doesn't understand that she's got less mobility now. If you would like to read Molly's whole story, I dedicated a blog entry to her which has pictures too! :) Our Molly Girl
