Ed is a six-month-old Pit Bull mix in Los Angeles, CA, who needs $2,000 for spinal surgery.

Puppy Ed is a true underdog who needs a chance.

Love Leo Rescue first saved Ed when he was just a few weeks old and was abandoned in a park.

"He was covered in ringworm and needed weeks of treatment," Sasha A., with the rescue, tells Waggle.

Then Ed's foster mom noticed something was not quite right with his back legs. An MRI revealed Ed has a cyst on his spine that is compressing his discs and causing difficulty walking. If the cyst is not removed, Ed could lose his mobility permanently.

"It was clear we only had one choice for him: to get him a complicated and big surgery to remove the offending cyst," Sasha says. "Love Leo Rescue is a non-profit 501c3 that takes in many medical dogs in need, just like Ed. Donations toward his treatment and care would help tremendously so we can continue to save more lives, just like him."

Please help Ed get his operation and a fantastic future.

"Despite his mobility issues, Ed loves to play and be as active as he can," Sasha says. "Ed is perfect with other dogs, cats, and kids. He has the sweetest temperament and has shown nothing but happiness and gratitude. Ed is a sweet and silly boy who falls in love with everyone he meets."
