Leo is a 3 year old Yorkshire Terrier in Logandale , NV, who needs $2,500 for Bilateral Patellar Luxation.

Leo was brought home with purpose — to help my best friend's son, who is on the autism spectrum, overcome his fear of dogs. It worked beautifully. He was also a companion for my other dog, Zoe. What nobody expected was how deeply Leo would wiggle his way into everyone's hearts. Every single person who meets him falls in love instantly. 🐾

Leo has been diagnosed with bilateral patellar luxation and possible ACL damage, with concern for irregular femur or tibia formation. The full extent won't be known until surgery. The condition has been causing him significant discomfort and requires prompt intervention to prevent further damage to surrounding ligaments and cartilage.

Leo is a tiny, spunky, fun-loving guy who lives for his frisbee, his toys, hiking and especially kids. He's always up for an adventure and has the sweetest soul to match his giant energy. Leo is a little ball of chaos who has absolutely no idea how small he is. He is pure joy in the tiniest package — an absolute little nugget who steals everyone's heart the moment they meet him. 🐾

Leo's condition requires a specialist, making surgery costly. I was recently laid off and while I have the time to care for him through recovery, the financial piece has been a challenge. Seeing him pain-free and back to chasing his frisbee would mean everything.
