Story
📍 Located in Troy, MO 📩 Applications at leiashope.org Cameo – 2.5-Month-Old Male TeddyBear (Bichon/Shih Tzu) Meet Cameo, a sweet and spirited little TeddyBear puppy! He loves playing with the other puppies in his foster home, chasing toys, and zooming around being silly. Cameo’s happy personality shines through everything he does — from his playful hops to his curious little nose nudges. When he first arrived, Cameo had a sensitive tummy and some digestive struggles. His tests were all clear for parasites, so we went into detective mode and discovered that his system does best on Zignature kibble topped with Steve’s and a spoonful of pumpkin. His tummy has been much happier since! He may outgrow this sensitivity, or he may always need a quality diet to stay feeling his best. Cameo is also known for his shadow skills — he loves to follow foster mom everywhere and occasionally get underfoot, so he’s not suited for homes with mobility concerns or very small children. TeddyBears are known for their affectionate, people-loving nature and fun, spunky personalities. Cameo fits that perfectly! He’ll need regular grooming and frequent brushing to keep his soft coat looking great. Preference will be given to homes with children (ages 6+) or a playful young dog. Cameo’s adoption fee is $550. He is current on age-appropriate vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. He is not yet neutered due to age; a neuter contract is required, and Leia’s Hope will cover a portion of the cost if completed between 6–9 months. Leia’s Hope Canine Rescue is a volunteer-run, foster-based rescue. Applications take 7–10 business days to process. Approved application required before a meet and greet, which must include all family members (dogs included). We do not transport or allow cargo flights. Adopters must travel to the dog’s location for adoption. Dogs are a lifetime commitment — please be sure you’re ready to love Cameo for the next 12+ years.

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. Honey Crisp is a young puppy, and her new family must be prepared to love and care for her for 12–15 years. In the event of the adopter’s death, she must be returned to Leia’s Hope — rehoming is not permitted.
