LEON-Urgent-Help needed

My story

LEON-URGENT-Help Needed LEON is a handsome white Poodle/Maltese, about 7 years old, 12 pounds, who we saved from the pound. He looked pretty awful but he now has been cleaned and groomed, which really perked him up. LEON has a foster home, but is awaiting surgery. Many of the pups we get from the pound have been abandoned either because they were no longer wanted or because their medical needs were too expensive and people just did not want to deal with it. Sometimes they are found wandering the streets when someone saves them and turns them in to the shelter. Even though we have rescue discounts from our wonderful vets, surgeries and special procedures and all the diagnostics are often insurmountable. LEON will need several tumors removed, that we think are not cancer, but invasive nonetheless. Like many neglected small dogs, his teeth and gums are in horrendous condition, and some extractions will probably be needed. So we are hoping for a sponsor or guardian for LEON until he is ready for adoption.
