WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A West Palm Beach animal hospital needs your help.   A dog lover brought 5-month-old 'Leo' into Summit Boulevard Animal Hospital a few months ago.

Now he's looking for a home.  But Leo needs some extra attention.

He's blind and has Epilepsy.  The clinic has been working with a trainer to help the pup with his condition.

Anyone without kids and without other pets would make good candidates.

"Someone who has a lot of patience, kind of similar to having a toddler, a 2 or 3 year old in your house, he is house broken, which is fantastic and he's quiet in his kennel so when you're not working with him, he's happy to go in his little kennel and he sleeps all night," said Lorraine Smith, Leo's trainer.

The clinic is offering Leo's future owner free vet care for life.

If you're interested, you can contact the animal hospital at (561) 439-7900.
