Leo’s BluePearl Story: Heroic Blood Donor Saving Lives

Want to know what the face of heroism looks like? Meet Leo, an enthusiastic pup that is helping save countless lives through blood donation.

When his owner Jessica read an article about a dog retiring from blood donation, she realized Leo was the perfect candidate to take up the noble mantle. She looked up local animal hospitals that ran blood banks and brought Leo into BluePearl in Clearwater.

Within a few months, Leo reached star-status with the vets and techs at BluePearl. With each visit, he is regaled with lots of praise and even more yummy treats. This “perfect gentleman” is so excited to donate, that he paws at the door of BluePearl with each visit.

Our team respects the close bond between pet owners and their pets and treats each with dignity, compassion and kindness.
