Mila is a 8 month old Mix-Breed in Omaha, NE, who needs $2,000 for Juvenile Diabetes and Addisons Disease.

Mila came into our lives to be a "friend" for our Clover. Mila was born on a small farm in Iowa and my coworker got one of the siblings and we just fell in love with her and took her home in November. Mila is currently loved by 5 family members including two parents and 3 kiddos.

After Mila's first vet appointment we noticed that she was seeming to not gain weight, even though she ate all the time. We take her to Tender Care Animal Hospital in Gretna. We were alarmed that our at first 16 pound puppy was now down to 13.8 pounds. Mila has now been diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes which is very rare, and also Addison's Disease both are life threatening.

Mila picked us! When we went to the small farm to check out the puppies all of the dogs were hyper and running around and licking. Mila came up to me and my 5 year old and just put her paw on my leg and looked at me. I believe she knew I would do anything to save her, even though at that time we had no idea there was anything wrong with her. Our family loves her and just her healthy.

At the time of diagnosis, we also have a daughter who plays volleyball! In a tournament she fell and has to have a big knee surgery this coming week. All of this additional expense is coming at a very challenging time, and we need to save Mila.
