WARNING!!! *VERY GRAPHIC PICTURES* Once again I must come to you for help. Leo MUST have full vet care for his injuries. This is a wound and injuries sustained ...when his “owner’s” boyfriend cut his throat and left him for dead. Animal Control is not funded to handle medical cases and did the best they could to save his life until rescue could arrive. They also made sure rescue DID arrive quickly. He is receiving pain meds OF COURSE as well as antibiotics. He MUST have further treatment. We are totally tapped out and need help. Please help us to help Leo: Pay Pal eaglesdenrescue@live to donate and as ALWAYS SHARE and send your love and support. There are other options in his story that follows… LEO IS LOOKING FOR ANGELS Please Rescue Angels: Please be real. My name is Leo and I need you as badly as any dog ever has. I need to know you are there and to know that I am worthy of saving. I had a home. I thought I was a lucky dog. My person was a woman and OH HOW I LOVED HER. I am a Pit Bull so you know I gave loads of Pibble kisses and butt wiggles all the time. I didn’t always understand her or the things she did, especially the choices she made, but that was ok cause she was my person and I was her dog. I just knew we were forever. Then one of her choices led me to the place I am now. She has this boyfriend, and her boyfriend obviously does not care too much for me. He never had much time for me, but that was fine by me because I had my person and she had me … forever… I THOUGHT. I thought we would always look out for each other. I WAS WRONG. And being wrong this time has almost cost my life. We will call the boyfriend HIM. He allowed his child (we will call him BOY) to hurt me. My person did nothing to stop it. One day, if I ever have a voice that will speak for me and tell the truth, perhaps everything that happened in that house and yard will be known … but for now I can only talk to you about that last day. And because of legal things, whatever that may be, I can’t tell you some things. BUT … Had a neighbor not seen the entire thing on that last day I would be dead now. On the day I learned I didn’t matter BOY was beating me with a stick again. I was trying to get away. When you think you are safe and loved, and you have someone you would give your life for, you think they would at least stand up to help you in your time of need, don’t you? But no one was coming to help me and I was cornered with feet coming at me and a stick. Had someone been hurting my person, I know I would have done my best to protect her. But I was on my own. So, while I was cornered, I snapped at BOY. I just wanted him to stop hurting me. And that is when I learned how very little I meant to anyone. HIM was watching what happened and he walked away for a moment. When he came back, he grabbed me by my head and made me look up at him. All I felt was a miserable pain and I knew something terrible had happened. I waited for a familiar voice to come and help me as I fell to the ground, my blood flowing from an open wound on my neck. I didn’t understand at first that HIM had cut my throat and that I was going to be left there to die. The world was a little fuzzy to me, but I did not hear that familiar voice. There was no loving face looking down at me and no gentle touch. There was nothing. A neighbor … someone who undoubtedly understands HEART SPEAK … must have heard my cries for help before when I was being hit, because they had called for help. I suppose that is how my friend (we will call her “S”) at Animal Control found me and knew I would die without immediate help. I don’t remember a lot past getting my throat cut … but “S” was there when my memory starts “being there” again and she had taken me to the vet. When the vet said with a strong spirit and a will to live I could survive … but I would need help … “S” decided then and there she would help me. BUT … “S” is in a County Shelter and there are no funds for dogs like me that need so much help. But this wonderful lady with the huge heart knew what I had been through and she said she had to try and do her best for me. The vet said he could give me a very temporary “fix” but I would need to go into a rescue as quickly as possible for help and full vetting. So he did a very basic repair on my wound and gave me something for infection and pain. That pain medicine has really helped me to feel better, but I know it is temporary. I know I need to get into surgery and get this fixed as quickly as I can, and “S” understood that too. “S” immediately began looking for a rescue to take me away from the county shelter. But they had to find one that had room and funds for a dog that would need a lot of help. With so much need … my breed … and my injury … hope was fading. I am not sure exactly what this is all about but I know an Eagle said they would help me. They talked a very long time to my friend “S” and suddenly, I had the feeling that there were HEART SPEAK people that would help me. People and that Eagle. I never thought too much about Eagle’s, but I sure am glad that one knew how to use a telephone. Anyway, I know now that my person did not have enough love in her heart for us to be forever. And I know I am in a very tough place. That Eagle is going to help me and is working toward that right now. BUT the Eagle happens to be a PLACE called Eagle’s Den and it seems a lot of people have turned their backs on their “best friends” lately. Eagle’s Den has stepped up to help a lot of broken hearts like mine and too many of them have needed medical help just like me. So Eagle’s Den is trying to raise the money to make sure I have all I need. AND … because I had to deal with this broken heart as well as a cut throat, I have learned about RESCUE ANGELS. I am not too sure about all of this. I thought I was in a good home before and look where that got me. But I have to take a chance because I do want to live and I want to be loved by a very special person that WILL BE FOREVER. Will you help me to live? I need your love, prayers and your support. If you can help me, Please share my story. Let people know what happened to me and that it is wrong. I did nothing to deserve this. I have heard what happened to me will make you angry and I suppose it should. But please use that anger in a positive way by sharing my story. I need a lot of financial help to get the care I need today and for a few months down the road. And for those who can help, I promise you I will fight to live. I want that now more than anything. I want to get better and find my FOREVER PERSON AND HOME.

If you like to use Snail Mail 1453 Campbell Road Clarkton, NC 28433 Thank You for reading my story, for sharing and for being RESCUE ANGELS. PLEASE, be like that neighbor and call for help if you ever see anyone in trouble. I am so glad they didn’t think I was JUST A DOG. I have learned a lot of hard lessons recently, but I also have learned a few good things... Like … there are good people and Eagles, Rescue Angels and HEART SPEAK. And I need to say a special THANKS to “T” who came and got me from the shelter to go to rescue and for help. And I need you all. Leo A SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE DEN: This is one of those situations that we have, many times, found ourselves in while working rescue that involves legal issues. We trust that you … AS YOU ALWAYS DO … will understand we are and will always do what is best for the dog. In Leo’s case, the shelter, county and people cannot be named at the present time. YES LEO DESERVES JUSTICE … and this is the best way to get it for him Those of you who know us best know we will shout from the rooftops when we need to … and we know you will be there beside us shouting too. Sometimes, when those involved are already HEARING the dog’s voice, we must let them do their job before we shout. We often find ourselves working with very wonderful shelter managers who want nothing more than to see justice done for one of these precious lives. In this case, the shelter manager has done everything she knows to do to make sure Leo is saved and will never be hurt again. In another situation, Leo’s story may never have been heard. I am sure there are many cases we do not hear … so we will respect the very important fact that Leo is safe and will get what he needs to survive. AND … we will keep you updated as we can … I spoke with this Shelter Manager and I could hear that Leo literally stole her heart and his case will not be forgotten. Thank You for understanding when we have these situations. Some of you may be aware of the circumstances surrounding Leo. I will ask that you please keep all info to yourself so that any legal issues do not become legal problems for Leo. This is FOR HIM. Thank You. As Ever … You Sustain Us, ~Beth~ ~EDR~ PS: We will do updates as we can and will share more pics with you so you can see him get his spirit and heart back.See More
