Meet Farrah! This sweet little Shih Tzu/terrier mix is a total heart-stealer. She’s affectionate, curious about everything around her, and happiest when she’s close to her person. Food and treats are definitely her love language, which makes bonding with her fun and training extra rewarding! Farrah has a gentle, soulful presence with just the right amount of spunk. She loves cuddles, brings plenty of smiles, and is ready to be someone’s loyal little shadow. She’s house trained, about 3 years old, and weighs 18 pounds—just the right size for lap time and adventures alike. If you’re looking for a loving companion with a big personality in a small package, Farrah is your girl!

Story
Meet Aerie! This adorable little Shih Tzu may look sweet, but she definitely has a spicy side! Aerie loves attention and being held—but strictly on her own terms. She’ll need a patient, experienced adopter who can respect her boundaries and help her feel safe while she learns to trust more. She does well with other dogs, but we’re recommending a home without kids due to her sass and attitude. Aerie is about 2 years old and weighs 10 pounds. She may be a little diva, but in the right home she’s going to be someone’s very special girl.

Story
Meet Rose! She’s a shy, gentle Shih Tzu who’s just looking for a calm, loving home and a cozy lap to call her own. Rose is about 5 years old and weighs 10 pounds. She’s sweet-natured, soft-hearted, and does well with other dogs. Loud environments and little kids may be a bit overwhelming for this quiet soul, so she’d do best in a patient home that will let her blossom at her own pace. If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion to adore, Rose is ready to love you right back. 💗

Story
*Applications at leiashope.org Honey Crisp 2-Month-Old Female Shih-Poo (Shih Tzu/Poodle Mix) 📍 Location: Troy, MO Meet Honey Crisp, a playful and affectionate Shih-Poo puppy learning what it means to be loved! Born in a puppy mill, she’s now thriving in foster care where she enjoys chasing her puppy friends, playing with toys, and curling up on soft blankets. Honey Crisp is a happy, confident little girl who loves to be underfoot—so she wouldn’t be ideal for someone with mobility concerns. She would do best in a home with playful children (ages 6+) or another young, active dog who can keep up with her energy and help her continue to learn and grow. About the Shih-Poo: The Shih-Poo blends the affectionate and gentle nature of the Shih Tzu with the intelligence and low-shedding coat of the Poodle. This mix produces friendly, loyal companions that love being near their people. Their coats require routine brushing and professional grooming every 6 weeks to keep them soft, clean, and mat-free. Vetting & Adoption Details: Adoption Fee: $550 Current on age-appropriate vaccines (subsequent boosters at adopter’s expense) Microchipped Vet-checked and healthy Not yet spayed — Leia’s Hope covers a portion of the spay cost when completed between 6–9 months of age Leia’s Hope is volunteer-run, and all dogs live in foster homes. Please allow 7–10 business days for application processing. Meet-and-greets are only scheduled with an approved application, and all family members (including dogs) must attend. Applicants must be willing to travel to the dog’s location for both the meet and adoption. We do not provide transportation and do not allow cargo flights.
