Arrival Story:
Leo is another Rescue from Miami Animal Control via the Miami-Dade Railroad (www.miamidaderescuerailroad.com) Leo arrived with an IV in his leg and serious pneumonia with a secondary infection..which we are still fighting desperately.. he weighs 2.53 pounds and should be a healthy 7 to 8 pounds.. He is extremely emaciated, but he is fighting with all his might to stay alive so we are trying to assist him as best we possibly can.. His Vet bills are up near $1000 so far and thats with our Vet giving us a 10% discount ...Bless her!! Leo could use some sponsors if anyone would care to help with his Vet bills..If you would like to help , contact us at ts_rescue@whitneysworld.com for the Vets info

Bio:
Leo has refused to eat up until the last day..We finally resorted to force feeding him with a syringe, and it seemed to be the jump start he needed as he is now trying to lick food as best he can, but we are still assisting with the syringe. He is a very sweet little guy and has never resisted any treatments we have given him ..He is getting out of his box to do his potty thing, and walks around a bit in the gated kitchen..hes been outside to go potty, and immediately dropped and rolled in the grass.. He loves the warm sunshine!! He will be WELL and fully vetted before he goes to a new Furever home...Keep checking back for updates on Leos progress or send us Dog mail..or email ts_rescue@whitneysworld.com UPDATE: LEO PASSED AWAY ON SUNDAY AUGUST 1ST...HIS FRAIL LITTLE BODY JUST COULDNT FIGHT ANYMORE. WE WILL SEE YOU AT THE BRIDGE MY LITTLE LOVE..YOU WILL BE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER
