'Her leg was hanging off' - 'Dolly Parton' found in Kilkenny with severe injuries

My Lovely Horse Rescue is looking for a loving family for an adorable dog who was found in Kilkenny with severe injuries.

The dog, named Dolly Parton, came into the care of the rescue in September who said she was found “running around Kilkenny with severe injuries, and in need of immediate help”.

“Her fracture was so bad, her leg was hanging off,” the animal rescue said on social media.

“We cannot imagine the pain this girl was in. Unfortunately her leg couldn’t be saved, but since recovering from an amputation, this amazing girl has gone from strength to strength”.

Two-year-old Dolly is currently thriving in foster care and is patiently waiting for her adoption day, hoping it’s not too far away.

My Lovely Horse Rescue said that Dolly is best suited to a cat free home.

This sweet girl could live as the only dog or as companion to another, suitable to live with children (+8).

Dolly would enjoy having a secure garden to play in, and would love to have someone home part of the day. She adores human company,” their post added.
