Story
Hello. I’m Penny and I’m around a year old. They say I’m a Catahoula mix. I have webbed feet like a lab and double dew claws like a Great Pyrenees. I have a beautiful brindle coat. My foster mom says I am a really good girl but a little rambunctious. I’m great with dogs and cats, but I do like to chase. I weigh close to 70 pounds so I would probably not be good with smaller kids but 10 and older would be good. I’m doing good housebreaking. My adoption fee is $150. If you are interested in Penny, please visit www.pawscare.org, and click on the online application. We require the application to be filled out and approved prior to meeting her as all of our animals are in private foster homes. Please fill out all information as we cannot process incomplete applications. A phone number for your veterinarian is a must. We CANNOT process your application without a vet phone number.

Story
Meredith is a puppy mill survivor! She waited almost 6 years to get her chance at freedom and now she has it! Meredith is flourishing in a foster home but she is shy of new people and situations and small children make her nervous. She would do best in a home without small children who live there, visiting would be ok. Meredith has learned freedom is great and she likes to run around the yard, chase playfully after the cat and thinks crinkle toys are the best thing since sliced bread! She gets along great with other dogs, but is a bit mischievous and likes to steel their chewies and run off with them! She knows that the biggest dog bed in the house is hers and you can't convince her that the smaller one is meant for her to sleep in. She has gotten comfortable enough with foster mom that she seeks attention and likes to be petted. She also loves dinner time and gets super excited to eat. Meredith will require a secure physical fenced yard as she is considered a flight risk. This is for her safety and her parent's sanity! She would do best in a home with another dog to continue learning how to be a pet. If you do not have a dog then experience with insecure puppy mill dogs is a MUST! Meredith's adoption fee is $315. She is spayed, received a dental, microchipped, current on vaccines and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. NOTE: WE ARE A VOLUNTEER RAN ORGANIZATION AND OUR APPLICATION PROCESS CAN TAKE 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS, DEPENDING ON OUR AVAILIBILITY AND YOUR REFERENCES. ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE IN FOSTER HOMES AND NOT AT A CENTRAL LOCATION. AN APPROVED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE WE DO MEET AND GREETS. WE DO NOT SHIP OR TRANSPORT DOGS. YOU MUST COME TO THE LOCATION OF THE DOG TO MEET AND ADOPT.

Story
Visit leiashope.org for adoption process. What can be said about the cutest and smartest little guy? Padre is such a good boy with a wild side! He loves to play and drag foster mom's slippers around the house. He is great for baths and grooms, which are great qualities as he will need lots of those in his future! Padre is a good little snuggler and enjoys his one on one time with foster mom. He has started some skills on training and learning the clicker, but he still has a ways to go. Padre likes to come off as a confident and tough guy but he gets scared when the bigger dogs run past him and will cry like they hurt him. They haven't, he is fine, just a little scared. Since Padre was born in a puppy mill he missed the critical socialization window where he would have been exposed to new things and gain confidence, so his new family will need to work on positive experiences with him. Padre is looking for a playmate in his new home (kids or playful dog) as he has a lot of puppy energy. Another dog that is confident and playful will be a good role model for him and kids are just fun and great to wear a puppy out so mom and dad can get the benefits of sleepy cuddles! Padre's adoption is $500. He is too young to receive a neuter, as we wait until they are 6 months. We will cover the cost of the neuter if using our Decatur vet. He is microchipped, current on vaccines, dewormed, and on monthly heart worm prevention. PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing. All of our dogs are in foster homes and a meet and greet is done ONLY after an approved application. We do adopt out of the area. However, we do not ship or provide transportation. You must come to the location of the dog to meet and adopt. NO EXCEPTION. All family members and dogs must be present at the meet. Dogs are a commitment for THEIR lifetime. For puppies this could be 15 years. If YOU cannot commit to the lifetime of the DOG, please do not apply. Puppies under 9 months must go to a home where there is someone home frequently (works from home or a partner is home), can adequately socialize and train the puppy, and can keep up with puppy energy!

Story
Visit leiashope.org Isadore (Dorey) is a spunky little girl nicknamed fireball because she is a blur of red when she is running around the house! Isadore is an active lady but when she is tired she will put herself to rest somewhere quiet or in a dog bed. She can be a little unsure about being picked up and will run from you at first. Once you catch her, she is butter in your arms! Isadore loves to play and we will be looking for a playmate for her in her new home. She enjoys running around in the yard, wrestling with the other foster pups and looking for mischief! Isadore has an umbilical hernia that will need repaired at time of spay. We will cover that expense if using our Decatur vet. Isadore's adoption is $500. She has not been spayed due to her young age, as we wait until 6 months. A spay contract is required and we will cover the expense if using our Decatur vet. She is microchipped, current on vaccines, and on flea/heart worm prevention. PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing.

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Requirements: Canine Companion Secure PHYSICAL fenced yard Agatha has a big name for such a small lady! She is only about 5 lbs and fits nicely in a lap. Agatha is a puppy mill survivor. She had never known what it was like to live in a home prior to coming to us. She is learning that not all humans are bad and will hurt her. She gets scared of unfamiliar sounds and fast movements. She will initial run when trying to pick her up, but once in your arms she is content to be petted. Agatha is playful and enjoys the company of other dogs. She is learning lots from her foster fur babies and will need a dog in her new home. Agatha is a flight risk, does not know how to walk on a leash, and will try to get away. She will require a secure physical fenced yard. Agatha's adoption is $375. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention.

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Requirements: Secure PHYSICAL fenced yard Thea is a former breeder dog that is so grateful to be in rescue and a home! She has been soaking up the love and attention since joining Leia's Hope! She is a sweet gal that loves to snuggle next to you in bed at night and in the recliner when watching TV. Thea gets super excited for treats and probably never knew of such a pleasure before rescue. She is an easy going gal and gets along great with other dogs, but we believe she would be ok being the only pet. Thea is beginning to play with toys and this is always so fun to watch a former mill dog do normal dog things! Thea is not leash trained and will need a secure physical fenced yard. Thea's adoption is $375. She is spayed, received a dental, current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps!
