My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Visit leiashope.org for adoption process.

What can be said about the cutest and smartest little guy? Padre is such a good boy with a wild side!

He loves to play and drag foster mom's slippers around the house. He is great for baths and grooms, which are great qualities as he will need lots of those in his future!

Padre is a good little snuggler and enjoys his one on one time with foster mom. He has started some skills on training and learning the clicker, but he still has a ways to go.

Padre likes to come off as a confident and tough guy but he gets scared when the bigger dogs run past him and will cry like they hurt him. They haven't, he is fine, just a little scared. Since Padre was born in a puppy mill he missed the critical socialization window where he would have been exposed to new things and gain confidence, so his new family will need to work on positive experiences with him.

Padre is looking for a playmate in his new home (kids or playful dog) as he has a lot of puppy energy. Another dog that is confident and playful will be a good role model for him and kids are just fun and great to wear a puppy out so mom and dad can get the benefits of sleepy cuddles!

Padre's adoption is $500.Hei is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, dewormed, and on monthly heart worm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps.

PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing.

All of our dogs are in foster homes and a meet and greet is done ONLY after an approved application.

We do adopt out of the area. However, we do not ship or provide transportation. You must come to the location of the dog to meet and adopt. NO EXCEPTION. All family members and dogs must be present at the meet.

Dogs are a commitment for THEIR lifetime. For puppies this could be 15 years. If YOU cannot commit to the lifetime of the DOG, please do not apply. Puppies under 9 months must go to a home where there is someone home frequently (works from home or a partner is home), can adequately socialize and train the puppy, and can keep up with puppy energy!
