Leo is by all accounts a very much loved 8 year Japanese Chin that is living in Wisconsin. He has Congestive Hear Failure and Bladder Stones. To keep Leo comfortable he needs 2 prescriptions a day and a special food.
Leo's Veterinarian has come up with a "comfort only" plan for Leo. And that is $200 every 3 months.
That is where the trouble began for Leo. Mr. Lange lost his job 2 years ago and his family is living on a fraction of what they once were. There are 2 young children in the family that are 6 & 12. Needless to say, they love Leo dearly.
Because Leo's family love him very much and realized that due to the costs, they may not be able to keep him. Fortunately Mrs. Lange reached out to Japanese Chin Care and Rescue Effort and the representative came up with a plan to help keep Leo in his home.
This plan was to keep Leo in his home where he is happy and loved until he passes to the rainbow bridge. It doesn't make sense to put Leo under the stress of moving him to a new environment with the health conditions that he has. And his is loved, his family just needs a little help.
So what they did was come up with a chip in to come up with funds to get Leo the help he needs and to keep him in his home. The chip in has closed since the $200 was reached. And Leo and his family will have an outpouring of love that will keep them going for awhile.
There are many Leo's out there. If you come across one, please step up. If we can help to keep them in their home, it is much better than seeing them in the shelter or a foster home.
It really doesn't take a lot. Even $1 makes a difference to a dog like Leo. And think about what the children in his family have learned. That there is caring and compassion in this world. And all this from a little dog and a few of his friends.
