Dumped and Suffering, Myrtle Needs Help With Chronic Skin Disease

Dumped and suffering from severe skin problems, Myrtle was left to face an uncertain future without the family who should have been there for her.

Thankfully, Hearts 2 Homes Rescue stepped in for this sweet girl, but it quickly became clear that Myrtle needed far more than a safe place to land. Her skin was in terrible condition, and as veterinarians began investigating her health, they discovered additional concerns involving her bladder.

At first, there was a frightening possibility that Myrtle could have cancer. The rescue pursued extensive veterinary care, including multiple ultrasounds, to determine what was happening and what this girl would need.

Thankfully, her bladder issues now appear to be under control, but Myrtle's medical journey isn't over. Her skin problems are ongoing and are expected to require lifelong medication and management. Hearts 2 Homes Rescue has already spent a significant amount on diagnostics and veterinary care to get Myrtle to this point, and they are committed to continuing to give her the care she needs.

It's difficult to imagine that a dog this loving was ever dumped.

Myrtle is a 3 year old Heeler mix who is happiest cuddled up beside her people. She's wonderful with kids, enjoys other dogs after a proper introduction, walks nicely on a leash, and absolutely loves attention and belly rubs. While other Heelers may dream of herding livestock, Myrtle would much rather herd blankets, claim the softest spot on the couch, and perfect the art of napping.

Donations to Myrtle's campaign will help Hearts 2 Homes Rescue with the veterinary expenses from her extensive testing and the continued treatment needed to manage her chronic skin condition.

Someone may have given up on Myrtle, but her rescue didn't. Please consider donating to help give this sweet girl the medical care, comfort, and future she should have had all along.
