Honey Crisp
2-Month-Old Female Shih-Poo (Shih Tzu/Poodle Mix)
📍 Location: Troy, MO

Meet Honey Crisp, a playful and affectionate Shih-Poo puppy learning what it means to be loved! Born in a puppy mill, she’s now thriving in foster care where she enjoys chasing her puppy friends, playing with toys, and curling up on soft blankets. Honey Crisp is a happy, confident little girl who loves to be underfoot—so she wouldn’t be ideal for someone with mobility concerns.

She would do best in a home with playful children (ages 6+) or another young, active dog who can keep up with her energy and help her continue to learn and grow.

About the Shih-Poo:
The Shih-Poo blends the affectionate and gentle nature of the Shih Tzu with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. This mix produces friendly, loyal companions that love being near their people. Their coats require routine brushing and professional grooming every 6 weeks to keep them soft, clean, and mat-free.

Vetting & Adoption Details:
Adoption Fee: $550
Current on age-appropriate vaccines (subsequent boosters at adopter’s expense)
Microchipped
Vet-checked and healthy
Not yet spayed — Leia’s Hope covers a portion of the spay cost when completed between 6–9 months of age

Leia’s Hope is volunteer-run, and all dogs live in foster homes. Please allow 7–10 business days for application processing. Meet-and-greets are only scheduled with an approved application, and all family members (including dogs) must attend.

Applicants must be willing to travel to the dog’s location for both the meet and adoption. We do not provide transportation and do not allow cargo flights.

Honey Crisp is a young puppy, and her new family must be prepared to love and care for her for 12–15 years. In the event of the adopter’s death, she must be returned to Leia’s Hope — rehoming is not permitted.
