Story
Daisy is a super cute, sweet, and calm dog. If you are looking for a pet to follow you everywhere (will walk by you silently to and from places in the home if you are her main attachment parent) and the best Lounge partner; literally lovesssss sitting/sleeping next to her main caregiver; vaccinated ; but potty troubles mostly Due to laziness and lack of consistency on the owners part….as she has high anxiety and dislikes when her main caregiver leaves her ( this is when she may behaviorally pee inside). I have not tried anxiety medication or formal potty training yet I do believe she is very smart and would be responsive to both.

Story
Applications at leiashope.org Apple Crisp is located in Decatur, IL. She is believed to be a Teddybear (Shih Tzu/Bichon) and was born in our care after her mom arrived pregnant. Apple Crisp has quickly earned her reputation as the diva of the litter. She is tiny, adorable, and absolutely convinced she deserves her own personal staff. If something feels even slightly beneath her, she will let you know—sometimes loudly. Noise cancelling headphones might be a wise investment. Despite her flair for dramatics, Apple Crisp is incredibly sweet and loves her people. She would do best in a home that understands her personality and gently encourages her to figure things out instead of rescuing her from every situation. When given space and support, her confidence grows, and she shines. She enjoys cuddling, playing with her siblings, and supervising from a comfy lap when possible. She is currently going through the Puppy Culture program, which focuses on confidence building, problem solving, early socialization, and positive communication. Apple Crisp enjoys her one-on-one learning time and will go home with the next-stage Puppy Culture online course (a $100 value) to help her new family continue her training and development. Apple Crisp was weaned onto a balanced raw diet to support her gut biome and overall health. She will go home with a few days of food for transition. While she does not have to stay on raw, it is preferred for optimal health. Like all Teddybears, she will require frequent brushing and routine grooming every six weeks to keep her coat healthy and mat free. She has been examined by our veterinarian and is in perfect puppy health. Apple Crisp will be ready for her forever home once she is fully weaned and has received her second puppy vaccine. Her adoption fee is $650. She will go home with two rounds of vaccines and a microchip. Subsequent boosters will be the adopter’s responsibility. She will not be spayed until at least 6 months of age; we cover a portion of the spay cost if completed between 6–9 months. A spay contract is required and enforced. Applications are available at leiashope.org. We are a volunteer-run organization and applications take 7–10 business days to process. We do not schedule meet and greets without an approved application. Adopters must travel to Decatur, IL for the meet and greet and to complete the adoption, and all family members (including dogs) must be present. Puppies are a 15+ year commitment, and adopters should be fully prepared to love Apple Crisp for her lifetime. We do not allow rehoming, and we do not offer transport or allow our dogs to fly cargo.

Story
Applesauce – Teddybear/Shih Tzu-Bichon mix Location: Decatur, IL Adoption fee: $650 Applesauce is the shyest and most thoughtful pup of the litter. He was once one of the smallest puppies, but with good nutrition and care he has grown into one of the biggest. Despite his size, he remains a gentle, cautious soul who approaches new people, places, and experiences slowly. He watches first, thinks it over, and then decides if he’s ready. Applesauce is a sweet, sensitive puppy who will absolutely thrive with continued structure, confidence-building, and positive social exposure. He will go home with the next-stage Puppy Culture course because he truly needs it. His adoptive family must be ready and committed to continuing his Puppy Culture training exactly as outlined. This program shapes who he becomes as an adult, and without it he could grow into an insecure dog. With it, he will become steady, trusting, and sure of himself. His success depends on a home 100 percent invested in doing the daily exercises, games, and protocols. He would do best with older children (12+) who understand how to move slowly and respectfully with a shy puppy. A confident but not overbearing dog in the home would also be helpful, as he learns a great deal by observing other dogs. Vetting and care: • Current on age-appropriate vaccines • Microchipped • Seen by our veterinarian and cleared for adoption • On monthly flea and heartworm prevention • Will go home with a neuter contract; Leia’s Hope covers a portion of the cost when he is neutered between 6–9 months • Requires regular grooming as his coat grows Other information: • Adoption fee: $650 • Applications take 7–10 business days to process • Approved application required before a meet and greet • All family members and resident dogs must attend the meet and greet • Adopters must travel to Decatur, Illinois for adoption; no transport or cargo flights are provided • Puppies are a 12–15 year commitment and must be returned to Leia’s Hope if the adopter is ever unable to care for them Applesauce is a sensitive, loving boy who just needs the right home to bring out his confidence. For the family willing to commit to his Puppy Culture journey, he will grow into a wonderful, devoted companion. Applications at leiashope.org.

Story
**Emerald** 💚 **3-Year-Old Female Shih Tzu** 📍 Located in Decatur, IL 📝 Applications at [leiashope.org](http://leiashope.org) Emerald may be small, but her joy is BIG! This 3-year-old Shih Tzu is a puppy mill survivor who now spins in happy little circles and dances with excitement when life is good—and it often is, now that she’s in a foster home! She **adores toys**, especially soft ones, and will carefully collect them into a little pile like hidden treasure. She checks on them throughout the day and even carries them around like prized possessions. A gentle doggy playmate would be the cherry on top of her toy-loving world. At night, Emerald transforms into the **best cuddle buddy**, happily snoozing in bed with her person. During the day, she’s a relaxed companion—lounging on the cool floor, snuggling into a dog bed, or perching on the couch. She’s thriving on **routine**—crate-trained for her foster mom’s work schedule and eating meals in her kennel. While she’s not food aggressive, let’s just say she doesn’t believe in personal space when it comes to food bowls and would love to sample everyone’s meal if allowed. 😛 Emerald is a **sweet and gentle soul**, but she can be **shy with strangers**, especially men. She barks to express her discomfort and needs a patient family who will take things slow when introducing her to new people. Short, positive visits can help her gain confidence over time. She enjoys other dogs and will play with them, but she’s also great at entertaining herself. She’s **still learning to feel comfortable being picked up**, and will run away at first—but she’s getting braver by the day as she continues to adjust to life as a beloved pet. Because she’s considered a **flight risk**, Emerald requires a **secure physical fenced yard**. Her ideal home includes either a **confident canine companion** or an adopter with **mill dog experience** who can help her continue to bloom at her own pace. 💖 🔹 Spayed 🔹 Vaccinated 🔹 Microchipped 🔹 On monthly flea/heartworm prevention 💰 Adoption fee: 400 📍 Located in Decatur, IL 📝 Apply to adopt at [leiashope.org](http://leiashope.org) ⚠️ Please note: We are a volunteer-run rescue. Application processing can take **7–10 business days**. All meet-and-greets require an **approved application**. We do **not** ship or transport dogs—adopters must travel to the dog’s location. -
