Leonard is a 2-year-old Pitbull Mix in Oklahoma City, OK, who needs $2,000 for TPLO Surgery.

Leonard came into my life almost two years ago when I saw him while scrolling through the shelters site. His litter was born in the shelter, a day before Valentine's Day, to a female dog that was surrendered outside after business hours. He lives at home with my boyfriend and I alongside my boyfriends dog and my two cats.

Leonard loves to take naps in the bed with us during the days and on weekends. During the nights he gets warm and likes to sleep on the couch where it's cooler. He enjoys going on long walks around the neighborhood and playing keep-away in the backyard. He loves playing tug-a-war with my boyfriend also. If he needs/wants to go outside then he will do a long stretch to confirm when I ask him.

My younger cousin is one of Leonard's favorite people. His excitement jumps through the roof when he stays over. Leonard is a big talker, if there is something he wants you to know he'll say it and keep going until you listen. During the warmer months Leonard loves playing with the water that comes out of the hose or sprinkler. He loves any water, from the hose, the sky, or even snow.

In late August 2023 Leonard started limping on the left back leg. I took him to the vet they believed his cruciate ligament was tearing. He was put on somewhat restricted movement and cold laser therapy was administered through a few appointments. Unfortunately while we were trying to heal the left leg, he started to limp on the right. Causing him to need TPLO surgery on the right leg in September

I'm a full time student who is paying out of pocket for my college tuition with the income earned from my job. I used care credit for the first surgery but still have a large balance left and am unable to acquire more credit to pay for the left leg surgery that is needed.
