Story
Zoey is a 12-year-old miniature schnauzer mix weighing 21 lbs. This lovely senior girl does have a grade 4/6 heart murmur, but that doesn’t stop her from enjoying life’s little pleasures. Zoey is low energy and perfectly content with short strolls, a little time in the yard, or a cozy car ride. She’s house-trained (goes potty outside) and also paper trained, making her easy to manage. She doesn’t use a crate in her foster home. She gets along well with other dogs and is curious but respectful with cats. While she hasn’t been around kids in our care, her gentle nature suggests she could adjust to a calm, patient household. Zoey is described as friendly, adaptable, happy, and playful—though she does take a little time to warm up. Once she feels safe, she’ll happily follow you around, ask for treats, and even get a little playful. She loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom and will reward patience with loyal companionship. Zoey would thrive in a home where her people are around more often, but she also does well being left alone if she has other dogs for company. If you’re looking for a sweet, devoted friend to share your days with, Zoey would love to be your little shadow. Zoey is heartworm positive. Wish Bone will continue to provide treatment through our vet or by providing the medication to the adopter's vet. Her minimum adoption fee is $200 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

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.

These pups are in Normal, Illinois too!

Story
Jackie is a sweet and fun girl looking for a loving family. She came in with 2 cherry eyes that were fixed. All Pet Central animals are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, spayed or neutered, microchipped (registration included), and current on parasite prevention. 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. Empire St.) Parking lot and enter the store. We will be set up just inside the store entrance. Let us know you are here to pick up your pet! A PCH! representative will confirm your information and hand you your pet. We will take a "Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. If your adoption is scheduled at the Cat’s Meow Cafe: Navigate to PetSmart, park in the parking lot and enter the store. Locate a PCH! Representative at our adoption table and let them know you are picking up a Cat Cafe Cat. You will sign your final contract with your counselor and snap a picture of the completed screen. Head to the Cat’s Meow Cafe at 507 N. Hershey Rd and provide them with the snapshot of your final contract. They will get your cat and take a “Happy Adoption Day” photo with your pet and family. PCH! supports a 30-day no-fault return policy in which adopters are given the opportunity to find a better match. If we cannot provide advice/tools to keep a pet in the home we offer these options: Exchange for a pet that may be a better match** Receive a refund minus a $40 processing fee** With this approach, we can often turn mismatches into opportunities! Thank you, Pet Central Helps!
