Story
Hello my name is Ivy and I am excited to meet you! I love to snuggle and am looking for my forever home. I like to run. I love the snow. I like to go on hikes and I like to play fetch and tear up stuff. I am a mix of a lot of breeds. I am good with other dogs of all sizes, but I can be rough with smaller dogs so beware. I like cats, I like to chase them and play with them. I like to chew on bully sticks, they are my favorite. I do not know if I am good with kids, but I am very active so I think I should be. I need a experienced owner because I can be a lot to handle. I am house trained and kennel trained.

Story
Bella is a sweet older girl, but still has a lot of spunk left in her. When she was 2 years old, she was hit by a car and had multiple surgeries. She has a limp, but is otherwise very capable. Bella currently lives in a home with two young children, and she just isn’t happy around young kids. She has never bitten them, but will growl when they get too close and never wants to be around them. Bella gets a long well with other dogs if given time. She has another dog brother at home and gets along well with him. Bella would thrive in a quiet home with no kids. She would love attention, but also is a very independent dog and can be left home alone for multiple hours a day. Bella is kennel/crate trained and potty trained.

I adopted Oakley about 4 months ago from the Coulee Region Humane Society. He is about 2 years old. Oakley is a loving, loyal, outgoing boy that just needs a home where can burn off his energy (he loves to go for runs) and become a best friend to someone.

Story
Dapper Mr. Don Juan is a brother to Copper, and is also hoping to soon land himself a forever family of his very own! Don Juan and his 4 siblings were a bit of a “surprise” arrival this week, but we simply couldn’t love them more.  They are super-duper snuggly, as lovable as ever, and will make the most wonderful family addition!    More about Don Juan:  male   15 weeks old (born 1/2/23)  weighs 23lbs!  a pittie [possibly bulldog?] mix of sorts (their mama was feral, so we don’t know their breed makeup for certain)   loves EVERYONE! (aka dog, cat, and kiddo-friendly!)   is your typical happy, social, cuddly puppy!   doing well with his potty-training when provided a consistent schedule, but will need continued training + patience from his family   familiar with his crate, but will likely need some transition time as he learns to kennel without his siblings   has small bursts of playfulness, but then most loves to lounge around and snooze the day away    This boy is simply as sweet as can be! If you’d like to make him your own, please apply + reach out and ask for Don Juan!    APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!).    **Don Juan’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, and microchip. ##1696012##

Story
Taz was born on May 31, 2021 in Texas with her siblings. She and her siblings were cared for by a foster home in which the foster mom kept notes as they grew. They were rescued by a shelter in Wisconsin. Taz has all dark features, opposite her sister. She loves to snuggle up to you and loves when you rub her chest. Her sister, Daphne, was also adopted and they have been together since. They do well apart as well as together. I am sad to have to rehome them but I am medically not able to keep up with them and hope to find them a new home. She does general commands, but could use some additional obedience in regards to jumping.
