Story

I've had her for about 13 years. Found her on a freeway in the middle of winter. She's not the same as we found her..quite fluffy. She's good if you need to leave for a while, will go potty in the bathroom if needed. She loves attention, but doesn't like her butt sniffed, sometimes rolls on the ground. I'm getting ready to move to the Philippines to remarry. Her age wouldn't be good for the journey, so would appreciate very much.

Story

Applications at leiashope.org Oakley 5-Year-Old Female Yorkshire Terrier Location: Decatur, IL Oakley is a sweet little Yorkie who becomes more confident with each passing day. When the weather is nice, she enjoys spending time outside running the fence line with her foster fur siblings, keeping watch for strangers or the occasional rabbit. With the cold and snow, she’s much happier soaking up the warmth indoors, curled up in a cozy dog bed or snuggled close to her foster mom. Inside the home, Oakley has truly found her stride. She enjoys comfy dog beds, loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom, and is a world-class cuddler. She often chooses to lay close while watching TV, happily soaking up attention. Once hesitant, Oakley is now an attention hog and will absolutely navigate obstacles to make her way into a lap. Oakley is less fearful of strangers and does well with kids. She enjoys the company of other dogs and follows their lead, both for playtime and confidence. She has not been around cats. She’s a smart little girl who wants to please and continues to blossom in a loving home environment. One of her favorite daily routines is sharing a couple bites of banana with her foster mom each morning — a sweet tradition that perfectly sums up her gentle, affectionate personality. Oakley is a loving, loyal companion who is ready to bring warmth, cuddles, and a whole lot of love to her forever home. Oakley’s requirements: * A secure physical fenced yard * Another friendly canine companion in the home Oakley is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, recently received a dental, and is on monthly heartworm prevention. Adoption fee: $400 Adoption information: Applications are processed by our volunteer team and typically take 7–10 business days. An approved application is required before scheduling a meet and greet. Meet and greets must be in person with all family members and resident dogs present. No transport or shipping is available — adopters must travel to the dog’s location in Decatur, IL. Dogs are a lifetime commitment and must be returned to Leia’s Hope if an adopter can no longer care for them. Applications available at leiashope.org.

Story

applications at leiashope.org Apple Strudel Teddybear (Shih Tzu / Bichon mix) Male Location: Decatur, IL Apple Strudel is a sweet, gentle little guy with a joyful personality and a proud little strut to match. He loves playing with the mini poodle in his foster home and would be happiest in a home with a playful companion—either another dog or children who enjoy interacting with an active puppy. One of his favorite pastimes is carrying around small balls, especially wool cat balls, which he proudly parades with his tail up and head held high like he’s just won a prize. Strudel is doing well with his Puppy Culture basics and has shown nice progress with handling, including having his paws and face touched and groomed. As long as liverwurst is involved, he’s a very willing participant. He was born in rescue and has been raised on a balanced raw diet designed to support growth and help build a healthy gut biome. While continuing raw is not required, providing a high-quality, nutritionally sound diet is important for his long-term health and overall well-being. His adoption includes the next step of the Puppy Culture program, supporting continued confidence building, learning, and thoughtful development as he grows. Regular grooming will be required throughout his life, including professional grooming every 6 weeks with consistent brushing in between appointments. Apple Strudel is very much underfoot and a major trip hazard, so he is not a good fit for homes with small toddlers learning to walk or anyone with mobility concerns. Apple Strudel has been seen by the veterinarian and checks out perfectly adorable with no health concerns. He will go home with two rounds of puppy vaccines and will be microchipped. He is not neutered due to age; a neuter contract is required, and Leia’s Hope will cover $200 toward the neuter when completed between 6–9 months of age. He will be ready for his new home once fully weaned and after receiving his second vaccine, which will be after December 22. Adoption fee: $650 Applications are processed in 7–10 business days. An approved application is required before a meet and greet. All family members, including resident dogs, must attend, and adopters must travel to Decatur, IL. We do not provide transportation. If flying home with your new pet, Apple Strudel must ride in the cabin with his family—cargo flights are not permitted. Puppies are a lifetime commitment of 15+ years. If at any point Apple Strudel cannot remain with his adopter, he must be returned to Leia’s Hope Canine Rescue. Applications and additional information can be found at 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

🩵 Roni – 📍 **Located in Decatur, IL** applications at leiashope.org Roni is a lively, affectionate miniature poodle puppy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Playful, curious, and endlessly loving, Roni thrives on connection and wants to be involved in everything happening around him. He is a true velcro dog — happiest when he’s glued to his person or right in the middle of the action with his canine friends. Roni loves toys, snuggles, and interactive play, and he does best in a home with children or a playful, tolerant dog who can keep up with his energy. Socially, Roni adores other dogs but doesn’t always recognize when another dog needs space. He can be very enthusiastic and “in your face,” so a confident, easygoing canine companion is ideal. Roni was recently neutered, and his bloodwork was rechecked to monitor his SDMA levels. We’re happy to report that his values are now almost back to normal. It is suspected that Roni came into rescue with temporary kidney trauma that has since healed. He remains on a kidney-supportive supplement, and while his bloodwork should continue to be monitored as a precaution, his prognosis is excellent. It is very likely that Roni will live a long, happy life without complications. Roni has long poodle legs and absolutely knows how to use them. He loves to jump and stretch to investigate tables and counters and has no shame about stealing food if it’s within reach. He’s always underfoot and eager to be involved, so he is not suited for homes with mobility concerns. A puppy-savvy home that’s mindful about food placement and willing to set clear boundaries will help Roni thrive. Roni is a confident, affectionate, and entertaining little dog who brings constant joy and personality wherever he goes. He’s looking for a committed home that appreciates a clingy, playful companion and is ready to enjoy life with a dog who truly wants to be part of the family. Roni is neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. His adoption fee is $500. Located in Decatur, IL. Applications can be found at leiashope.org. Leia’s Hope is a volunteer-run, foster-based rescue. Applications take approximately 7–10 business days to process. Approved applications are required before meet and greets. All family members, including resident dogs, must be present. No transport or cargo flights are available — adopters must travel to the dog’s location. Dogs are lifetime commitments and must be returned to Leia’s Hope if an adopter can no longer care for them.

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.
