My story

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

Leia is a smart, affectionate dog who thrives on one-on-one attention and does best in a calm, predictable environment. She’s looking for a person who understands her boundaries and is willing to meet her where she is.



Leia prefers to have her personal space respected when it comes to other dogs and will clearly communicate when she’s uncomfortable. Because of this, she’ll do best as the only dog in the household, where she can fully relax and enjoy her space.



When it comes to people, Leia shines. In one-on-one settings, she loves pets and happily soaks up all the attention you’re willing to give. She enjoys being with her person and builds strong bonds once she feels secure. Leia also enjoys bones and toys and is happy to entertain herself once she’s settled.



Leia is highly food-motivated and curious, especially when it comes to food scents. She’ll benefit from a home that keeps food securely stored, provides consistent routines, and ongoing training to help reinforce good house manners. Because of her strong food motivation, Leia would do best in a home with older children who can understand boundaries around food and interactions.



Leia is potty trained and does well with a routine, but she may need time to build trust before confidently signaling when she needs to go out.



Crate time at night is still a work in progress for Leia. She doesn’t enjoy going into her crate and may take some time to settle once inside, occasionally whining before eventually lying down and sleeping through the night.



Leia will walk on a leash, though getting her started can take some encouragement. Once she’s moving, she does fine, and continued practice will help build her confidence.



Leia is best suited for an experienced, patient home that understands canine communication, values clear boundaries, and is willing to advocate for her needs. In the right environment, Leia has the potential to be a loyal, loving companion who truly thrives with the right support.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events EVERY SATURDAY. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR THE LOCATION AND DATES OF OUR NEXT ADOPTION EVENT. www.rmpuppyrescue.org

Thank you for your interest in saving the lives of these beautiful pets through our foster and adoption program.

To all the people that have called and emailed in hopes of meeting a puppy before our event, we hope you can understand, we cannot meet between events. We truly appreciate you wanting to help by adoption but ask that you make our events. We are a foster based rescue, and all of us have full-time jobs. We simply can't arrange one on one meetings with all of our foster families, our puppies and all the people that want to meet them.

Please do not call the locations of our adoption events as they do not have any information on our available dogs and puppies. We match the family energy level and lifestyle to the puppy's energy level. We do have the right of refusal. Please check out our website at www.rmpuppyrescue.org to download our Pre-adoption form and Requirements form, print, fill out and bring in hand to the event. You can also submit your application online at our website.

Here are some other things we require:

- If you rent, YOU MUST BRING A COPY OF YOUR RENTERS/MORTGAGE AGREEMENT TO THE EVENT. We do this to confirm you own your house or if you rent you are allowed to have a pet in your home. NO EXCEPTIONS.We would like to see if there is a weight or breed restriction. No rescues will be adopted to those persons who do not bring a lease or agreement to the event.

- You must show a valid drivers license, and You must be 19 years or older.

-You MAY NOT bring your dog to our event. This is due to the fact that our puppies have immature immune systems.

-Any animals you own MUST be Spayed or Neutered. NO exceptions.

- RMPR adoption fees are $225-600 this includes your microchip, starter puppy food and of course lots of puppy love!

RMPR Does not take checks. We accept, cash, Visa, MC, and Discover. NO AMEX (sorry)

RMPR and its directors have the right to refuse the adoption for any reason. Please see our website www.rmpuppyrescue.org for more details on how to adopt.

We appreciate your interest in our lovely rescues. If you would like to join our Puppy Brigade through volunteering or fostering one of our rescues, we would love to have you. Please visit our website for more details.
