Donation protected
Hi, my name is Ciso and I'm fundraising for my sweet boy Leo who was recently diagnosed with lymphoma about three weeks ago. He is 11 years old and a Staffordshire bull terrier/mix breed. He is the reason I am fundraising,This is our story, Leo and I found each other 11 years ago when he was just about 4-6 months old. The first moment that I met him. I already wanted to be his dad and knew that I needed him just as much as he needed me. We got Leo from a street vender, Who was selling him. At the time, He was is really ruff shape and needed lots of TLC. So, my brother purchased Leo who was originally his dog but after a few shorts days, maybe, a week of Leo spending time with me and my two other dogs. I knew that I wanted to be his forever dad and made the big decision to make him a part of my little pitbull family. I instantly fell in love with this little guy since day one. Leo has brought so much joy and happiness to my life with his silly, goofy and loving personality and I promised to give him the best life that I could possibly give. After, having a ruff start to his life. He was always full of life, love and happiness. my Leo has found his forever home and would always be safe and loved no matter what. We're best buds for life now. All he wanted was to be a puppy, give love to everyone and he got that chance. Leo grew up to be the best dog I could have hoped for him to be. He loves people and all dogs of all sizes. Barks when he wants someone's attention with his amazing personality. In his younger years Leo and I would spend time hiking, playing at the dog beach with his brother Ghost and sister Sparta. Playing fetch in the park. Sunbathing, swimming at the beach and just enjoying each other's company and life together. Now, Leo loves to lounge around in our patio, go for car rides to get ice cream and McDonald's which is one of his favorite things to do. Going to the park and watching ducks swim in the pond and just he his silly self while rolling around in the grass. Leo and I have been through it all together. But he was always there for me when I had my ups and downs in life. He was always there to put a big O smile on my face when I needed it the most. I could not imagine my life without him, he is so full of life and bring me so much joy. I love my little meatball. He means everything to me as he does to his brother Ghost who loves him so much the relationship they have as brothers is unbreakable. The love they share for one another is extraordinary. They're all I have at the end of my day. Yes, i have family and friends but they're my family that I get to comes home to after a long day at work. They make my day so much better just by being there for me. I'd don't know what what happened if I lost Leo or Ghost. Those are my babies and I will do when I can them. So, living alone is hard and asking for help is something I would even think of doing. But I know that there's so many dog lovers in this world that would love to help if they can. So, if you can find it in your heart to help Leo during this time and contribute something. No matter how small or big. We'd gratefully appreciate it so much. It will cover Leo's medical expenses such as blood work, chemotherapy medication, ECT...
Please follow Leo's weekly on IG at ghost_and_leo to see weekly updates on his progress with his chemotherapy journey. It's gonna be a long road, but Leo is a strong boy and we will beat cancer!
Thank you all. ❤️
Love ciso, Leo and Ghost
