My Name is: Nyla, 1 year old
My Story: My family bought me as a cute puppy at a pet store. As time went on, they found they were not able to keep me. Being a whirlwind of inexhaustible young Lab activity — running, jumping, twirling, you name it — one day I ended up with an ongoing limp. The orthopedic experts at Colorado Canine Orthopedics diagnosed me with a serious knee injury: a torn cranial cruciate ligament and luxating patella. I needed expensive surgery to fix both and to get me back on the road to my active self. The recovery is a tall order: I must stay calm for many weeks while the surgery site heals. My foster parents are both people nurses so I will be in good hands!
