Story
Hi. My name is Reggie and am a Yorkie mix. I am a sweet and snuggly boy who loves being the center of attention. I love to relax right by your side but do have a playful streak here and there. When I want to play, I love squeaky toys and ropes! I love a nice long walk to go potty. I also love being out in the yard on a lead. I don’t do well being left alone for extended periods of time, as I will get very nervous. Crate time also makes me nervous after about 30 minutes. I do well around people of all ages and other animals, but will bark at cats until we get used to each other. I am still working on potty training a bit. I mostly go outside, but when left alone for too long, I will go in the house. I’m trying. My foster family has been using puppy training pads with me and I’ve been using those just fine! My foster mom says I am the sweetest boy, and whoever my permanent family is, they will be so lucky to have me!! If you are interested in Reggie, please visit www.pawscare.org, and click on the online application. We require the application to be filled out and approved prior to meeting him 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
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Located in DECATUR, IL Requirements: Secure physical fenced yard Canine Companion or mill dog experience Sweetie Pie has lived her first 4 years in a puppy mill where she received little to no attention, affection, or the comforts a pet receives. She is shy and unsure about people but LOVES other dogs. Sweetie can be found wherever the foster dogs are and seeks comfort being with them. She is learning how to be a dog by watching them with foster mom. She enjoys napping on the couch and hasn't quite figured out toys. Sweetie will need a patient and loving home to continue her journey in. She will need a canine companion to take her under their wing and teach her how to be a spoiled house dog. Sweetie does not walk on a leash and is considered a flight risk. She requires a secure physical fenced yard. Sweetie Pie's adoption is $400. She will be spayed April 10 and can go home shortly after. She is current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps.

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Located in Decatur, IL Requirements: Secure physical fenced yard Confident Canine Companion Cutie is a former puppy mill mama. She has lived in a confined space with little positive socialization prior to coming into our rescue. She is timid and scared at first but is gaining in confidence daily! Cutie is still learning the ways of being a free dog and just being a normal dog. She can be a little overwhelmed with sudden movements and noises. She follows the foster's dogs around and is learning a lot about being a house dog from them. She is good with the kids that live in the home. Cutie has discovered the wonders of toys and she likes to hoard them on her dog bed. At night she can be heard playing with a toy in her kennel. Her favorite treats are grilled chicken and foster mom used them to gain Cutie's trust in the beginning. Cutie will need a canine teacher in her new home that she can continue to learn from. She is considered a flight risk and a secure physical fenced yard is also required. Cuties adoption is $400. She will be spayed April 17th and can go home a few days after. She is current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps. PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs.

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Located in DECATUR, IL Requirements: Secure physical fenced yard Canine Companion or mill dog experience PRADA is a former puppy mill dog. She is insecure and takes daily anxiety meds. She may be able to be weened off them once she settles in a new home. It is pretty apparent to us that Prada didn't have the best life prior to coming to us. She was not loved on and socialized. As a result she is fearful of people and new things. We have not really seen her personality yet, except when she is outside. She loves to play outside and run freely around the yard. She is even playful outside but inside she mostly seeks out quiet places and doesn't interact with anyone in the household. We made the decision to start her on anxiety meds on March 6 to help her with her anxiety. It will take 6-8 weeks to fully take effect. Since we do not know much about Prada, we will describe a typical Wheaton. Wheaton's are a playful and joyful dog. They are affectionate and devoted. They are a working class dog and are considered active. Their coats are low shedding. We are seeking a family for Prada that has mill dog experience or a confident canine companion she can learn from. She is considered a flight risk and a secure physical fenced yard is required. Prada's adoption is $400. She is spayed, current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps. PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing.
