Story

Applications at leiashope.org Apple Crisp is located in Decatur, IL. She is believed to be a Teddybear (Shih Tzu/Bichon) and was born in our care after her mom arrived pregnant. Apple Crisp has quickly earned her reputation as the diva of the litter. She is tiny, adorable, and absolutely convinced she deserves her own personal staff. If something feels even slightly beneath her, she will let you know—sometimes loudly. Noise cancelling headphones might be a wise investment. Despite her flair for dramatics, Apple Crisp is incredibly sweet and loves her people. She would do best in a home that understands her personality and gently encourages her to figure things out instead of rescuing her from every situation. When given space and support, her confidence grows, and she shines. She enjoys cuddling, playing with her siblings, and supervising from a comfy lap when possible. She is currently going through the Puppy Culture program, which focuses on confidence building, problem solving, early socialization, and positive communication. Apple Crisp enjoys her one-on-one learning time and will go home with the next-stage Puppy Culture online course (a $100 value) to help her new family continue her training and development. Apple Crisp was weaned onto a balanced raw diet to support her gut biome and overall health. She will go home with a few days of food for transition. While she does not have to stay on raw, it is preferred for optimal health. Like all Teddybears, she will require frequent brushing and routine grooming every six weeks to keep her coat healthy and mat free. She has been examined by our veterinarian and is in perfect puppy health. Apple Crisp will be ready for her forever home once she is fully weaned and has received her second puppy vaccine. Her adoption fee is $650. She will go home with two rounds of vaccines and a microchip. Subsequent boosters will be the adopter’s responsibility. She will not be spayed until at least 6 months of age; we cover a portion of the spay cost if completed between 6–9 months. A spay contract is required and enforced. Applications are available at leiashope.org. We are a volunteer-run organization and applications take 7–10 business days to process. We do not schedule meet and greets without an approved application. Adopters must travel to Decatur, IL for the meet and greet and to complete the adoption, and all family members (including dogs) must be present. Puppies are a 15+ year commitment, and adopters should be fully prepared to love Apple Crisp for her lifetime. We do not allow rehoming, and we do not offer transport or allow our dogs to fly cargo.

Story

applications at leiashope.org Located in Decatur, IL Carolina Red is a sweet little Shih Tzu weighing around 10 pounds, and her constantly wagging tail tells you everything you need to know about her happy spirit. She absolutely loves attention and is very affectionate with her foster mom. At bedtime, she prefers to sleep right next to her and will make sure to get up close—sometimes nose-to-nose—to collect a proper round of love and pets before drifting off. Carolina is great with other dogs and enjoys both quiet companionship and playful fun. She’s often found curled up beside another dog in a shared dog bed, but she also loves to play, chase, and roll around on the floor with her canine friends. She’s been good with kids and enjoys being part of a lively, loving household. She rides fairly well in the car, though she does get a bit anxious and prefers to sit in your lap for reassurance. Carolina came from a puppy mill, though you would hardly know it—until a man starts to speak, at which point she becomes anxious. We do believe this is something she can work through with time, patience, and positive experiences, but it’s important for adopters to be aware of. Carolina does not know how to walk on a leash, so a secure physical fenced yard is required. She will also need frequent brushing and professional grooming every 6 weeks to keep her coat healthy and comfortable. Carolina’s adoption fee is $400. She is spayed, microchipped, and current on vaccines. She is located in Decatur, IL. Applications can be found at leiashope.org. We are a foster-based, volunteer-run rescue. Please allow 7–10 business days for applications to be processed. An approved application is required before meet and greets. All family members must be present, and adopters must travel to Decatur to meet and adopt—no transportation is provided. Carolina is a young lady with many wonderful years ahead of her and is looking for a family ready to commit to her lifetime of love, estimated at 12+ years.

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!

Story

Bamboo is a 3.5 year old ShiPoo mix weighing about 12.5 pounds, with a soft, gentle soul and a little extra fluff. This sweet girl is very shy at first, but once she feels safe, her tender and affectionate nature quietly shines through. As a breeder release, Bamboo may not have had much socialization, and new experiences can be overwhelming for her. On leash she tends to freeze, so she will need a securely fenced yard where she can move at her own pace. Bamboo is looking for a patient adopter who understands that confidence grows slowly and is built on trust. A calm, low-key home will be where Bamboo truly thrives. With time and reassurance, she has all the makings of a devoted companion who would be happiest curled up beside you or soaking up lap time. Give Bamboo the chance to feel safe and loved, and she’ll reward you with a quiet, heartfelt bond. Her minimum adoption fee is $400 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.
