Nyla

Nyla is a six-year-old Australian shepherd mix. Her owner describes a dog who thinks she is a small dog, who loves cuddles and belly rubs and always finds a way to get as close as possible.

She has a mammary tumour — the equivalent of breast cancer in a female dog — and needs surgery to remove it.

Her owner has been here before. Caring for his previous dog, Benji, put him into debt he only recently cleared through bankruptcy. He is asking for help so that money is not what decides this.
