A five-year-old German shepherd seems not to be able to catch a break. The handsome dog was apparently neutered by the Palmdale Animal Care Center veterinarians and is now suffering from a health complication. A plea from the shelter indicates placement for the dog must be procured within 72 hours. A volunteer writes:
“Handsome 5yr old, 85lb Leighton cannot catch a break. He was neutered by the shelter & is now suffering from a nasty complication at his neuter site. How painful must this be! Leighton has now received a 72hr plea & needs to exit by 11/17 at the LATEST. He desperately needs help. PALMDALE, CA.”

The shelter has sent out a 72-hour plea for help from animal advocacy groups to help. A description of Leighton’s behavior is discussed below:
Share this boy’s plight with approved rescue organizations, friends, family and social media contacts. Sharing saves lives. Be the voice for those who cannot speak. Surely, Leighton deserves better.
