URGENT APPEAL: Will you help IAPWA save Leo's life?

Leo is just a baby, yet he is already fighting for his life. Born with a rare and serious condition, his tiny body is slowly being poisoned from the inside out. Without specialist surgery, he will not survive. For Leo, this surgery is his only hope.

Story

Tiny puppy Leo’s life is at risk. He was born with a rare and serious condition called a porto-systemic shunt (PSS).

This condition is present from birth and entirely beyond Leo's control. Blood that should pass through his liver is bypassing it, letting dangerous toxins build up in his tiny body. This causes ongoing damage and leaves him weak, underweight, and very sick.

Leo did not choose this life. He did nothing wrong. He was simply born unlucky.

Without urgent intervention, Leo’s condition will get worse every day. His only chance to survive is a specialised and expensive surgery that can only be performed in Selangor by experienced veterinary specialists.

For Leo, this surgery is everything - the difference between life and death, between ongoing suffering and the chance to grow into the healthy, happy dog he was meant to be. He has been named Leo because, even in his fragile state, he shows a quiet strength and will to fight for his life.

By donating today, you’re giving Leo more than surgery. You’re giving him a chance to grow strong, healthy, and happy, and to experience the joys every dog deserves.

Every gift, no matter the size, brings little Leo one step closer to the future he deserves.
