Ayla is a 1.1 year old Great Pyrenees in Longmont, CO, who needs $2,000 for Total Hip Replacement.

I rescued Ayla from the Pyr Paws & Fluffy Tails Rescue in Oklahoma in May 2023. She is now a Colorado girl, just like her mama! She loves the snow and being outside, but she gets tired out easily. She lives her pet cat Apollo’s and her boy Kamren. She makes friends easily and is our biggest protector.

Ayla was diagnosed with juvenile hip dysplasia during a routine vet visit. She was in more pain then we realized and after having sedated X-rays, we discovered that her hip bones hadn’t formed fully so her leg bones were hanging in place by muscle and tendons only. We were able to raise $7200 for her first surgery at Colorado Canine Orthopedics in Colorado Springs, CO.

Ayla loves most other dogs and when she finds one that plays like her, it is so fun to watch. She has lots of friends and people are drawn to her. We going walks at McIntosh Lake which is near our apartment and she gets lots of attention from other dogs and all the people walking by. She lives to chase the rabbits and is very curious about the prairie dogs! Her love for the snow is the best!

I left a very abusive boss/job unexpectedly and embarked on a new career in real estate before Ayla was diagnosed. The change in income and medical bills depleted my savings quickly and all my credit cards are now maxed out and in payment plans.
