Donations are being MATCHED until midnight, up to $25,000!! 💙💙 That means your donation of any size will go twice as far for animals like Leonardo.
After a month of leaving food out and slowly earning trust, one patient hero was finally able to catch Leonardo and bring him to the Wisconsin Humane Society. Frightened, tense, and extremely matted, our veterinary team couldn’t even examine the poor pup until he’d been sedated and shaved completely. As is usually the case with such severe matting, we found lesions and infection of the raw skin underneath – something he’d certainly been struggling with for quite some time. In addition, Leonardo had chewed at his own tail so badly that it required amputation at the tip, likely a result of extreme anxiety for a tiny dog who had been fending for himself so long. 💔
Weeks later, Leonardo’s skin has drastically improved, his coat is beginning to grow in, and his recovery from the amputation is right on track. He is currently recuperating in the comfort of a foster home where he’s slowly but surely regaining trust in humans, and we’re confident he’s going to make the most loyal best friend to his future adopter someday soon. ❤️🩹
We were there for Leonardo because of you, our supporters who make this work possible. If you’d like to help him and so many others in need, you can use the Donate button below or head to https://wihumane.me/GivingTuesday2025 👈
Thank you so much for making a difference for animals and the people who love them!
