Story

applications at leiashope.org located in Decatur, IL **Robin – 1 Year Old Boxer** Robin is a beautiful 1-year-old Boxer weighing about 50 pounds. She is good with other dogs, kids, and cats, and she has the sweet, goofy, playful personality Boxers are known for. Boxers are typically loyal, affectionate, playful, energetic, and people-loving dogs. They are also strong, athletic, and full of enthusiasm, so Robin will do best with a family that can keep up with her energy and safely handle her strength. Robin is a former puppy mill dog. When she first came into rescue, she was shy and a little fearful, but after a few weeks in foster care, she is already doing much better. Like many dogs coming from a mill background, Robin may regress some when she moves to a new home. She will need a patient, kind family who understands that trust takes time and that she is still learning how to be a loved family pet instead of a profit maker. Robin is learning how to be a normal pet by watching her foster doggy friend. Because of this, she will require a canine companion in her adoptive home to help her continue gaining confidence and learning the routines of family life. Robin is also strong and can be a flight risk, so she will require a secure physical fenced yard and an adopter who can safely manage her strength, especially during transitions, leashing for appointments, and new situations. Potential Boxer health concerns can include heart disease, certain cancers, hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, and skin or allergy issues. Not every Boxer will experience these problems, but adopters should be familiar with the breed and committed to regular veterinary care. Robin’s adoption fee is $400. She is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Robin is located in Decatur, Illinois. Leia’s Hope Canine Rescue is a volunteer-run rescue, and all of our dogs are in foster homes. We require an approved application before meet and greets. Applications can take 8–10 business days to process. All family members, including resident dogs, must be present for the meet and greet. Adoptions are held at the dog’s location. We do not provide transport. To apply, please visit **leiashope.org**.

Ezekiel

Poodle (Toy or Tea Cup)

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

Chevron – 4–5 Year Old Shih Tzu Located in Decatur, IL leiashope.org Chevron is a joyful little Shih Tzu who is learning just how wonderful life can be as a beloved pet. After surviving life in a puppy mill, he is discovering cozy beds, loving people, and the simple happiness of carrying his favorite toy around the house like a prized treasure. He proudly shows it off to his foster mom as if to say, “Look what I have!” True to his Shih Tzu nature, Chevron’s favorite place to be is right near his person. He loves to stretch out in a perfect little sploot with his back legs behind him, snores sweetly while he sleeps, and flashes the most adorable underbite that makes everyone smile. He enjoys playing with other dogs and often curls up with a buddy in a dog bed for a nap. Chevron does have a couple small medical quirks that don’t slow him down. One of his eyes sits slightly more prominent due to a shallow orbital socket diagnosed by the vet. He also has mild dry eye and currently receives an over-the-counter eye moisturizer a few times a day. The drops are inexpensive, and he is very cooperative about taking them. As he ages, he may eventually require prescription eye drops, but for now he seems to understand that his medications help him feel better. At bedtime, Chevron prefers to sleep near his person. If he can’t share the bed, he does best sleeping in a crate in the same room. When crated alone, he will bark most of the night—and no one gets any rest! Being close to his people helps him feel secure. Chevron will require routine grooming every six weeks with brushing in between appointments. He is very good for brushing and grooming. His eyes should also be gently wiped daily to keep them clean and comfortable. Chevron’s adoption fee is $400. He is neutered, microchipped, current on vaccines, recently received a dental, and takes monthly heartworm prevention. We are a volunteer-run rescue and all of our dogs are cared for in foster homes. Please allow 7–10 business days for application processing. Meet and greets are scheduled only after an application is approved and take place at the dog’s location. All family members, including resident dogs, must attend. We do not provide transport, and adopters must travel to the dog’s location for adoption. If flying, the dog must ride in the cabin. Adopters should be prepared to love and care for Chevron for the remainder of his life—8+ wonderful years ahead. Applications at leiashope.org. Located in Decatur, IL.
