Myla Rose

Myla Rose still needs your prayers. Yesterday, she was unable to urinate, so we brought her back to the emergency vet. Thankfully, she was able to relieve herself, but she’s not progressing as we hoped. Please, please, please pray for our girl. We’re waiting on results to see if we should or even could increase her steroids. We promise we won’t let her suffer, but we’re never giving up without exhausting every resource for this young, beautifully sweet soul. We still have $1,000 to raise for her medical expenses, now over $10,000. Every single donation truly goes toward saving a life—a life someone else threw away. Please help us give Myla the chance she deserves. ❤️

Today, we have a heartfelt update to share about our beloved Myla Rose. Thanks to the dedication and expertise of an experienced foster, Myla Rose is able to leave the hospital and begin her journey to recovery in a home environment, surrounded by love and comfort.

Our foster hero will be using a Help ’Em Up® Full-body Dog Lift Harness to carefully support Myla Rose as she ventures outside for short, gentle outings. This harness will be essential in giving Myla Rose the extra help she needs to move around comfortably and regain some of her strength. Each step she takes, no matter how small, is a victory.

The road ahead is still uncertain, and we need all the prayers and positive energy we can get for Myla Rose. Our foster will monitor her closely, watching for any signs that Myla Rose is able to void her bladder on her own. If she cannot, a re-admission to the hospital may be necessary, but we are holding onto hope that her body will continue to fight and heal.

The next steps are crucial. We’re waiting to see if the steroids will bring any noticeable improvement, and we are eagerly awaiting the results of the spinal tap. Myla Rose’s spirit is resilient, and with your love, support, and prayers, we believe she can pull through this challenge.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Myla Rose’s journey so far. Please continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers as we work towards a brighter, healthier future for this precious girl.

️ Update November 2nd, 11:33 AM ️

We went to Mission Emergency Room to see her. I think anybody who knows when you walk into an emergency room, your heart sinks. Your heart sinks for the animals that are there, for the people that are there, and mostly for the people that leave without their animals with them. That isn’t the case for Myla Rose, at least not yet.

She’s still here. She’s still fighting. As we walked up to her, she wagged her tail. Her loving, sweet eyes looked up, and she knew a friendly, familiar soul and could feel love. After all, all this sweet girl is, is love. Maybe that’s just what we feel.

Her condition hasn’t improved as we hoped, but there’s still hope. We are not giving up. The catheter is still in, and we are still praying the steroids will work. Another round is given today, and we are not giving up on this beautiful soul.

Please keep praying for our girl. I know she’s only been in our care three days, but she has touched all of our hearts forever. Keep fighting, little one. You have an army behind you, and no idea how much love is headed your way. Please, just keep fighting.

Our vet bill is now close to $11,000. We have raised about $6,500. Every single donation truly does make a difference. We know she has brain abnormalities. We did the MRI, and now we’re just waiting on the spinal tap results. She still can’t be on her own, but she is eating. And she’s still here, and we love her, and we’d do anything for her.

What would you do for your own dog? Think about that for a second. And if you’re anything like us, you’d do exactly this. ❤️

Prayer warriors: Right now, in these next two hours, Myla Rose needs our prayers, love, and support more than ever. She’s only six years old, and the estimate for the MRI alone, just to discover what’s going on inside her, is between $5,000 and $7,000. We know it’s a lot to ask, but if you could spend even one moment with her, feel the love and life in her soul, you’d understand why we’re willing to do whatever it takes to save her.

She was left at our doorstep just yesterday, and we love her like she’s been in our life forever. It’s excruciating to watch her suffer, trapped inside a healthy body with something in her head she can’t control. Every dog or cat who comes to us becomes part of our family, giving us the responsibility and honor to love them as if they’re our own, to care for them wholeheartedly.

I know what I’d do if this were my own dog—I’d do anything. I don’t have $7,000, but if I did, I would give it in a heartbeat. So, I’m asking, praying, that we can each give, share, pray, and believe that Myla Rose deserves a miracle.

Right now, we need your prayers, your faith, your love. More than anything, she needs you to hope—hope that there is a way, that we can help her. With the best neurologist, a team of incredible vets, and God’s hands upon her, we believe she can be healed. That is our prayer tonight.

Please share and help us find Myla Rose a short-term foster!

Our sweet Myla Rose is being kept overnight under close watch by our incredible veterinary team.

Right now, they’re working to see how she responds to antibiotics, hoping they might start helping her bounce back. They’ve inserted a catheter because Myla hasn’t been able to pee on her own, and they’re looking into the possibility of either a deep inner ear infection or something more serious, like a brain tumor.

Through it all, she is being well-loved and kept as comfortable as possible. Pain management is a top priority, and the staff are there to make sure she feels loved, safe, and cherished. Our Always & Furever team members will be by her side, visiting as much as possible, staying with her, and letting her know that she’s never alone in this journey.

But we’re still in need of some kind souls who can help Myla by fostering her once she’s stable. If you, or anyone you know, can offer a quiet, loving space for her to rest and recover, please reach out to us. Myla deserves all the love and support we can give, and she needs each and every one of us right now.

Please keep Myla Rose in your thoughts, and send all your positive energy her way. This precious girl has touched so many hearts, and we’re not giving up hope.

For more information on fostering, please contact us at foster@alwaysandfurever.org or apply directly on our website at alwaysandfurever.org/forms.

Thank you for being part of Myla’s journey and for your unwavering support. Every prayer, every thought, every gesture of love matters.

Myla Rose is our newest Medical Miracle.

Myla Rose came to us under the hardest of circumstances. She was gently dropped off at our door, no longer able to carry her weight, her little paws faltering as she tried to stand. It’s believed she has a back injury, but the specifics are still unknown. To give her the best chance, we’ve scooped her up and are on our way to the emergency vet right now, starting with x-rays, MRIs, and tests to understand what she’s fighting against.

Sweet Myla is experiencing what’s called “knuckling,” where her paws bend under her, dragging the top side on the ground. This usually hints at a neurological or muscular issue, meaning she’s lost the control to properly place her paws. But let me tell you, her spirit? That’s something she hasn’t lost.

Even as she struggles to stay upright, even as she feels the weight of whatever is ailing her, Myla Rose wags her tail, brightens her eyes, and tries her best to greet everyone with a big heart full of hope. She believes in people, and she believes in love—and right now, she needs as much love as we can give.

While she is feeling deep pain, we’re hopeful that surgery might restore her mobility. Much will depend on how long she’s been this way, a mystery we may never solve, as she was only surrendered to us today. But if Myla Rose’s spirit and her love for life are any sign, she has every reason to believe in miracles.

Please pray for her, for the diagnosis to bring answers, and for her to feel the love surrounding her.

Thank you, dear friends, for joining us on this journey. With each new Medical Miracle, our family grows, and so does the love and strength we share.
