Leon is a 2 year old French Bulldog in Phoenix, AZ, who needs $10,000 for Neurological Examination, MRI, Spinal Radiographs.

Leon came into our lives when we were still living in MN. We knew we wanted a French Bulldog named Leon, we just had to find him. In April 2024, Don sent me a link to a puppy. I replied, is this Leon? There were so many signs saying yes. Like, his mom’s name was Katie, my name is Katie. His dad’s name was Yoshi, Don’s old dog’s name was Yoshi. We had indeed found our Leon!

At the end of July 2026 our world turned upside down. Leon was taken to Veterinary Neurological Center in Phoenix & diagnosed with mild L7-S1 intervertebral disc protrusion, non-compressive, contusive T14-L1 intervertebral disc herniation with associated thoracolumbar epaxial muscle hyperintensity. What does this mean? He is paralyzed. He will never use his back legs again & will have many challenges.

Leon is our little man… full of personality and love. He loved playing “spaceship” and going on walks with Don. It’s heartbreaking he will never be able to again. He loves cheese, popcorn & watermelon. Since moving to Arizona, we have struggled to find work in our career industry. Leon’s medical bills are overwhelmingly almost $10,000. We will need monthly supplies (diapers, wipes, etc), doggy wheels & treatments (acupuncture & laser therapy).
