About MYLA

Name: Myla Age: Estimated @7 years Breed: Havanese Sex: Female (spayed) @ 10 pounds Location: Lancaster County, PA Update 5/12/24: Myla now has a current rabies certificate. Myla just spent several hours at a local BDRA meet and greet. She was surprisingly good with gentle children. Previously a home with children would not be considered but gentle children over the age of 6 might be considered. BDRA volunteers have met Myla multiple times now and every month she seems to come out of her shell a little bit more. The right family can change this little girl's life! Myla also let a stranger hold her which was a first for her. Myla is a Puppy Mill Rescue that needs more help than her owner can provide. She has come a long way since being rescued but will need lots of love and continued care. Vet Info: Myla had Cherry Eye both eyes when she arrived. Left tear duct has popped out twice now. Needs another surgery. She is blind in left eye - if she has any sight it is just telling between dark and light. She should be getting eye drops but they are impossible for her owner to get administered. Myla has Head Shaking Syndrome. Owner originally thought it was a seizure but it is only her head. It has happened 28 times now. Vet believes that it is from an injury. It is between 5-15 minutes until it stops. It doesn't bother her, she just goes on, she is alert and can walk. Has luxating patella's in both knees. Will probably need braces eventually. Shoulder pops occasionally. Has had two surgeries so far, spay and eye. Did well recovering but about 50% of the time she chokes on water. She has digestive issues and a food she will eat one day she might refuse another. She regularly goes multiple days without eating. She is unable to walk through a doorway. Must be carried. If on a walk and she goes from a lit area to a dark area she will stop and wait until owner is by her side. Will not walk alone. She has anxiety, she started with crying and is now barking. Myla is not up to date with her vaccinations - 3 months overdue. Her last heartworm test last year was negative. Dog Info: Myla is a very sweet but shy girl. Myla was a Puppy Mill dog that was malnourished and abused. She needs a family that has patience and is willing to work through her issues. Owner has had her for one year and is not in the position to give her all the care that she needs. When Myla arrived she was hand shy. Now the owner can pet her with no issues. She would not look at a person, now she looks at her owner all of the time. Regarding any aggression the owner states, 'When she first arrived from Rescue that took her in from the Puppy Mill, she had an accident in the bathroom on the floor. I walked by and she grumbled out of fear, I believe. I wasn't going to scold her, so I just walked away and let her relax. That is the only issue that I have ever witnessed.' Myla has come a long way. She is now housebroken and will look at the door to let you know she wants to go out. She supposedly lived in a foster home with other dogs and got along well with them. I think she might do better in a home with another dog to teach her how to be a dog but would think she would do better with a calmer dog. She is also leash trained and enjoys going on walks. Because of Myla's history she should not be with young children. She is good with women but very timid around men. Owner will require a vet reference. First time owners will not be considered. Myla needs an owner with experience with dogs with issues. **Owner Surrender Disclaimer: These are blind and visually impaired dogs who are living in homes, but their owners can no longer keep them.
