Mylo is a 1 year old Mix-Breed in Kissimmee, FL, who needs $2,000 for Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) Surgery.

Mylo is a dream come true. I spent months wishing for a puppy and finally got him. He was everything I hoped for. He helped me overcome my loneliness from school and became my best friend. We used to play and run a lot until he was 4 months old. That’s when he started limping and whimpering in pain.

Mylo has been diagnosed Necrosis in the femoral head. This causes an interruption in blood supply to the head of the femur and because of this, boney tissues, begin to die and the overlying cartilage that lines the hip joint painfully collapses. The treatment for this disease is a surgical procedure called a femoral head ostectomy (FHO). The result is a full recovery on 90% of cases. Hospital ASEC

Mylo is my emotional support animal. He is always attached to me and comforting me. His favorite toy is a stuffed star pillow. Every time a guest comes over he greets them happily.

Since Mylo is a puppy, our family didn’t expect him to become sick so young, we were not prepared for this situation. Also, in a family of 4 only my dad works, we are a low-income household.
