This is Leo. My husband and I rescued him 3 years ago when he was surrendered to a dog daycare. We decided to take him home with us. He has been the biggest blessing to our family; we love this dog more than anything. I have never had a dog be so loving and sweet; he is genuinely the best buddy anybody could ask for. I don’t know what I would do without him! He has brought so much happiness to us, and we are so thankful to have him.

Sadly, we found out earlier this month that he has a large tumor in his left ear. If we cannot have it removed, it can be fatal. The tumor has grown and spread all the way down to his eardrum, causing him to be in a lot of pain and lose his hearing. He will be having surgery this month to have the tumor resected. We are a military family and are struggling to save up the money to help our baby. The surgery is going to cost upwards of $5k, so we want to raise as much money as possible to afford to help him as we are not in a place to spend that much money. But we have to do what we have to do because we will not lose him or let him suffer! Leo is my soul dog, and I would do anything for him! We appreciate absolutely any help we can get, no matter how big or small the donation is. We thank everybody who would be willing to help us help our baby!
