Story

Semi trained, Harold is used to running free, but has also been trained with an underground fence/collar and definitely respects the beep. He knows his boundaries and won't dig or try to get under any fences. But, if he smells a mole he will definitely dig up the run and find the mole. He is such a great dog loves everyone and any other dogs. Very loyal, follows you everywhere, bike, leash, golf cart everywhere just wants to be with you. He was originally as a puppy trained to be house trained but has been in a garage plus outside, and so has lost a bit of the control. Only 7 years old has never been aggressive or a menace we are relocating and cant take him with us. Fantastic loyal dog. Breaks my heart. Harold will love and be kind to anyone that loves him back. He loves to play and especially belly rubs. Loves cookies (dog bones) easily trained

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

**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. -

Story

*Ezekiel** 📍 Location: Decatur, IL **NO SMALL CHILDREN UNDER 6** Application: [leiashope.org](http://leiashope.org) Ezekiel is a little guy surrendered to rescue due to having two open fontanelles. The smaller one has closed and the larger one is nearly closed, but it will likely remain for the rest of his life. An open fontanelle, or “soft spot,” means there is no bone protecting part of his brain, making him more susceptible to injury. Care must be taken to prevent hard hits or punctures (from teeth, claws, falls, or bumping into hard surfaces) to the top of his head. Ezekiel is also believed to have **mild hydrocephalus** and has recently begun having seizures. He is now on **daily anti-seizure medication** to help manage them. Hydrocephalus affects his ability to be house trained — he is not house trained and frequently marks or has accidents indoors. This is a common side effect of hydrocephalus and not simply stubbornness, though he is otherwise an active, playful puppy who in many ways acts like a normal dog. This spunky boy loves to play and can entertain himself, but he also enjoys romping with the foster’s gentle dogs. His favorite game is being chased — he’s very fast and sometimes slows down just so they can catch him before zooming off again. He’s especially attached to another toy poodle in the home and will follow him around begging for play. Ezekiel sleeps in bed with his foster mom but may need to potty during the night, so he wears a belly band. With multiple dogs and puppies in the foster home, it’s challenging to catch him every time, so he’ll need an adopter who is very vigilant indoors. He is a picky eater and often eats best when he thinks someone else wants his food. He eats in his crate because he is slow and can be food aggressive toward other dogs if they approach his meal. His diet includes a rotation of raw, freeze-dried, and some kibble to encourage eating. While Ezekiel enjoys some cuddle time, he does not like being carried — he wiggles to get down, which is dangerous given his condition. He should be placed gently on the ground if he wants down. **Requirements:** * No small children under 6 * No large dogs in the home * No mobility issues in the household * Someone who understands his medical needs and can love him as he is * Secure home environment to keep him safe Ezekiel’s adoption fee is \$500. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. 📌 **Please Note:** * We are volunteer-run and application processing can take 7–10 business days. * All dogs are in foster homes, not at a central location. Approved application required before meet and greet. * We do not ship or transport dogs — you must travel to the dog’s location. **Dogs are a lifetime commitment. Please apply only if you can commit to his lifetime.**

Story

🩵 Roni – 4-Month-Old Miniature Poodle Puppy 📍 **Located in Decatur, IL** applications at leiashope.org Roni is a lively little Poodle puppy who’s always on the go! He loves toys (especially balls), enjoys snuggles when he slows down, and has a big personality in a small package. He’s persistent about play and gets along well with other dogs but doesn’t always read senior dogs’ cues. Roni would do best in a home with children or a playful young dog to match his energy. Roni had a full blood panel and his SDMA was high. This is a potential early indicator for kidney disease. He will need to be monitored by a vet and if it develops will need a special diet. For now, he is just a normal happy puppy! Roni is **current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention**. He is not yet neutered and will go home with a **neuter contract** (Leia’s Hope covers a portion of the cost at the appropriate age). 📝 **Adoption fee: $550** Applications at [leiashope.org](http://leiashope.org). Processing takes 7–10 business days. Meet and greets require an approved application, with all family members and dogs present. No shipping or transport. Puppies are a lifetime commitment.

Story

🍯 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.
