Leo’s surgery is going cost a lot. She posted on a popular Serbian pet forum asking for help. She was so desperate to save her beloved dog that she decided to sell her washing machine for about $150.

Tanja figured that in selling her apartment, she will be able to pay for Leo’s surgery and will also cover the medications that Leo needs for the rest of his life.

Her story was shared on Facebook and has touched a lot of people. Tanja has received donations from kindhearted strangers so she can start her dog’s medical treatment. However, she still needs more money so she and Leo can go to Belgrade to have the operation done.
