Molly, the hurricane survivor
Molly was abandoned by her owners when they had to flea their property to escape hurricane Katrina. They weren’t able to bring her to safety.
Molly survived the hurricane and ended up being saved and brought to an animal shelter, where she was attacked by a pit bull that tore her leg off. She recovered, was given a prosthetic leg and returned to health. She now visits people in need of hope.
