After animal control raised money to remove a tumor from the face of a roaming dog, the pup is out of surgery and ready for adoption.
Waterford-East Lyme Animal Control picked up "Mooky" last week. No one came forward to claim her, so animal control solicited donations over social media to fund the dog's surgery.
Animal control wrote on Facebook Tuesday that Mooky "came through her multiple surgeries with flying colors." In addition to having the tumor taken off, the pup was spayed, received a rabies shot and had her teeth cleaned.
She's ready to start meeting families April 1.
"If you are interested in adopting this sweet girl, please come to the animal shelter IN PERSON to meet the dog, the ACO and complete and adoption application," animal control wrote on Facebook. "For the lucky family who gets to adopt her, the adoption fee will be whatever you would like to make for a donation."
Animal control urged prospective new owners to also bring their family members to meet Mooky. Families can stop by the animal shelter at 41 Avery Lane in Waterford weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Anyone with questions about Mooky or the adoption process is urged to contact the animal control officer at aco@waterfordct.org.
