My story

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

Meet Jane 🤍
applications at leiashope.org

Jane is a 3-year-old Dachshund whose life changed overnight. She was released from her breeder after suffering a ruptured uterus that required an emergency spay. Once she could no longer produce profit, she was no longer “needed.”

And that is the very best thing that could have happened to her.

Because now Jane gets the chance to be someone’s priority. Someone’s cherished girl. Someone’s family.

Jane is just beginning to understand what this new life means. She’s been reserved so far, quietly observing the world around her and taking it all in. Mill dogs don’t get to just “be dogs,” so everything is new — the sounds, the routines, the freedom to go outside just because she wants to. She does enjoy being outdoors and is starting to settle into the rhythm of home life.

She has done well in a foster home with kids and a cat. Right now, she prefers to watch rather than jump in, but that’s okay. We know there’s a personality in there waiting to bloom, and we will update her bio as she grows more confident and her true self emerges.

Jane will require:
• A secure physical fenced yard (she is a flight risk)
• A confident canine companion to show her how to “dog”
• A patient family willing to move at her pace

She does not know how to walk on a leash yet and will need continued guidance and safety precautions as she learns.

Jane’s adoption fee is $400. She is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention.

Applications can be found at leiashope.org. We are a volunteer-run rescue, so please allow 7–10 business days for application processing. Please read our adoption requirements carefully before applying.

Meet and greets are scheduled only with an approved application, and all family members (including resident dogs) must attend. Adopters must travel to Decatur, IL for the meet and greet and adoption — we do not provide transport.

Dogs are a lifetime commitment. Jane deserves a home that will love her always and return her to Leia’s Hope if they can no longer keep her.

She has never been someone’s priority before.
Let’s change that.
