Other Notes

Molly can live with dog savvy children aged 12+ following a successful introduction at Mayhew. She can be grumpy around certain dogs so needs to wear a muzzle and long line as a safety measure when out on walks, but her behaviour is easily managed. Ideally, we’d like to rehome Molly in a rural/semi – rural environment so she can enjoy her walks to full capacity without bumping into too many dogs. She has Spondylosis of her spine, a noninflammatory, degenerative condition characterised by the production of bone spurs along the vertebrae. These growths are usually due to ageing, injury or a genetic predisposition. Currently, she is a very happy dog not showing any obvious pain or discomfort, however, in the future, it may be that she will eventually need on-going pain relief. Molly was also diagnosed with possible urethral sphincter mechanism incontinence. This can be common in older, large breeds of dogs or may be associated with the spondylosis. She was placed on medication to help control her urinary incontinence but has since been weaned off successfully and is no longer showing signs of incontinence. Adopters would need to monitor this situation and consult their vet if needed. Molly has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worm treatment. She has also been health checked and behaviourally assessed.
