Story
April Golden Retriever Female Location: Decatur, IL April is a true Golden! She is playful, sweet, curious and ready to explore in her new home! She is being fostered in a home with other dogs and is enjoying interacting with them and doing all things puppy. Her introduction to toys has quickly led to a joy of bones, rope toys and really anything she can (safely) chew on. She is being crate trained and loves to have her lampchop or snuggle puppy with her to cuddle and keep her company. She is not in a foster home w/children or cats. She is on a dry kibble diet with freeze dried raw as a supplement with her meals. April has been seen by the veterinarian and is perfectly healthy with no concerns. She is microchipped and has received all age-appropriate puppy vaccines. Rabies will be completed when she is old enough. She is not spayed due to age; a spay contract is required, and Leia’s Hope will cover $200 toward the spay when completed between 9-12 months of age. Adoption fee: $550 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, April must ride in the cabin with her family; cargo flights are not permitted. Puppies are a lifetime commitment of 15+ years. If at any point April cannot remain with her adopter, she must be returned to Leia’s Hope Canine Rescue. Applications and additional information can be found at leiashope.org.

Dogs over six-months of age are heartworm tested. When adopting, we will ensure that you receive copies of veterinary and microchip records. Records are sent via email. Paper versions are available upon request. If you are interested in this pet, please fill out the brief Adopter Survey by hitting "Apply for Adoption" on the profile above. After we review your completed survey, we will contact you by phone or email within three business days. Please note- Out of respect for our volunteers and staff, we are closed on Sunday and Monday and will not be processing any applications on those days. Please get back to us right away when we call or email regarding an application so that we can quickly connect using the process below: Select a pet and submit an online adoption survey. A PCH! adoption counselor will contact potential adopters within three business days (PCH! cannot guarantee any pet's availability, but we make every effort to accommodate adopters with a reply and possible alternative suggestions). An adoption counselor and client will then have a conversation to answer questions, discuss any medical needs for the pet and determine the suitability of a match (if necessary, we may opt to put adopters in touch with foster parents). After a match is made, clients will be asked to sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee online through our secure payment system *Please see our modified no-risk return policy. (below) The PCH! adoption counselor will then set up a specific appointment time and location. Adopters should bring a pet carrier and/or a leash to pick up and their ID. Adult pets will be wearing a collar. It is important that clients arrive on time, neither early nor late. Cats and kittens are required to leave in a pet carrier. If your adoption is scheduled at Pet Central Helps!: Upon arrival inside the Crossroads Center complex (360 Wylie Drive), look for the black Pet Central Helps! semi-trailer, which is right outside of our facility (Suite 720). Park in the parking lot and enter the facility. A PCH! representative will greet you and show you to the adoption room. Your new pet will be handed to you. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at PetSmart – Bloomington, IL: Park in the PetSmart (1606 E.
