A puppy Pug named Mila is tugging at the heartstrings of animal lovers after she was born with upside-down paws. Animal rescue workers are now raising money to help pay for Mila's very long and expensive correctional surgery and rehab.
"Without surgery, she will never walk, run, or play like a normal dog," the sanctuary said on its Facebook page. "It’s always a bummer when animals are born with deformities, but we feel really good that she landed here with us."
Ironically, the sanctuary said they have seen this rare condition before in another dog, named Milo, in 2019. "She has the exact same extremely rare condition that Milo had, and will be going through the same surgical correction and rehab that Milo went through," Jennie Hays, the sanctuary’s founder, said in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "We also rescued and continue to care for Milo, who has a normal happy life as a 3-year-old after his surgical correction and extensive rehab."Milo was also born with upside-down paws before surgery.
Hays said Mila is scheduled for a CT scan and 3D printing later this week for doctors to properly assess her joints and develop a plan of action. Her surgery will be at Oklahoma State University.
