Please welcome Leopold to the rescued life. You are the reason Leo is now safe at Harvest Home Animal Sanctuary.
Leo’s story is a sad and shocking one.We received a call this month to help this little guy from a local vet tech. Leo was sold at a flea market and was being used as “entertainment” at a birthday party at a residence in Modesto.
At the party, Leo was tethered in the front yard and being taunted by the party guests. The vet tech was in the neighborhood and witnessed what was happening to this bewildered baby. She quickly intervened and rescued him. Thereafter, she reached out to us for help.
This little boy was ear-tagged and spray painted on his back. It’s possible he had also endured a traumatic visit to an auction yard. We are shocked by what has happened to this little guy in his short life so far. We are incredibly happy he is safe with us now.
Today, Leo is battling several health challenges. Due to poor nutrition and indequate care before his rescue, Leo has stunted growth, an upper respiratory infection, and a gut problems.
Thanks to your support, we are able to provide Leo with the best quality care as he settles in at the sanctuary. Join us this spring in creating more miracles for Leo and other animals at our sanctuary.
Every life matters.
