My story

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

🍯 Ambrosia – 5-Year-Old Miniature Schnauzer
📍 Located in Decatur, IL
Applications at leiashope.org
Adoption fee: $325

Meet Ambrosia, a sweet and gentle Miniature Schnauzer who is blossoming more each day. After spending her first five years in a puppy mill, she’s finally learning what it means to be loved and cared for.

Ambrosia recently had a much-needed dental—most of her teeth couldn’t be saved, but now that those painful, unhealthy ones are gone, she’s feeling so much better! She’s happily eating her soft food and taking her medication like a champ.

Her foster mom says Ambrosia is becoming more active inside and out. She’s found a favorite dog bed, enjoys relaxing in the dog pen for quiet time, and proudly carries around her favorite soft toy—squeaking it for attention and showing off her playful side! She’s also becoming less tense when picked up and has started rolling over for belly rubs, soaking up the love she’s missed for so long.

Ambrosia requires a secure physical fenced yard and a canine companion in her adoptive home to help guide her as she continues to learn what home life means.

She is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, on monthly flea and heartworm prevention, and had a full dental.

Leia’s Hope is a volunteer-run rescue—please allow **7–10 business days** for application processing. Meet and greets are by approved application only, held at the dog’s location, and all family members (including dogs) must attend. We do not transport or allow our dogs to fly cargo.
