Hi friends, thank you for taking the time to read Leon’s story. He’s
a mixed breed dog rescued from St. Thomas and brought up to MA to his
furever home with us.
Leon is the absolute sweetest boy. He is 6 years old and loves squishmallows, sunning himself outside, and devouring any treat (no sweet potatoes) that he can get his little paws on. Sadly, he has a lot of pre-existing conditions that are not covered by insurance and is delaying the care he really needs. We have been able to get his severe allergies under control, which lowers his risk of infection and lets us pursue the surgery for his two back legs that he needs.
Leon tore ligaments in both of his back legs that substantially impact his day-to-day life. He can’t jump up onto his favorite couch, he can’t go for long walks, he needs help getting picked up to come snuggle on the bed. He needs $12k of surgeries over the course of a few months, and the first is occurring in March. But this is a huge expense for my fiancé and I, who are just starting our lives together. We’ll do whatever we can to get our boy’s leg function back, but the current cost of surgeries just seems insurmountable.
And the longer we wait, the more advanced his osteo-arthritis becomes.
We need some help from the pet loving community. We need these series
of surgeries to let this happy boy get his full life back, and to keep
his life as long as possible. Please consider helping Leon in any way
you can. Sharing is just as helpful as donations.
Any donations will help these surgeries HAPPEN and occur faster. YOU will help Leon get use of his legs back and to live a long and happy life.
Thank you, and with love,
Leon, Julie, and Charlie
