About Molly Mae
Molly Mae is a 6-year-old dachshund with a story that will melt your heart. After suffering a spinal injury caused by Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), she was left partially paralyzed with 40% spinal compression and spent two long years confined to a laundry room before finally being surrendered.
From the moment she arrived at Kentucky Dachshund Rescue, Molly began her incredible road to recovery. With the help of her foster family, she’s undergone weekly hydrotherapy, laser therapy, and gentle range-of-motion exercises — and her progress has been amazing. This determined little girl can now walk short distances on her own, taking well-earned breaks between steps. Every wobbly stride is a victory.
