Leorio is a 3 year old Maltese in Dallas, TX, who needs $2,000 for Urethropexy or Urethral Prolapse Repair.

Leorio is an only child in a single parent household, but that does not mean he receives any less love. Leo is the single most important being in my life, he is there ready for anything 24/7. He is my late night car ride partner, long walk in the park body guard, confidant, and an extremely good friend.

Leos condition is emergent. He has a urethra prolapse that has gotten to the point of bleeding. The doctors at VetMed - Dallas said a small part of the tip of his penis is prolapsed and corrective surgery is the only and recommended form of treatment. I am doing my best to not exacerbate the situation and control the bleeding, but he shows more and more signs of pain each day.

I love Leo because he really understands what I say when I speak to him. I will be the first to admit I'm not the worlds greatest dog trainer, but I do love to talk to my dog, a little too much. He is SO smart and expressive, when you talk to him all of his thoughts go straight across his face. I love when he come up to me wanting pet and he dives into my body and starts doing front flips.

I have held the same job for three years, and will continue until God tells me its time to move on. At this job, I have only received one raise over the entire three years. No bonuses. Having Leo healthy again would mean we can continue our contest of outliving each other.
