Story

Meet Gracie! Gracie is a 5–7-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix weighing just 9 pounds, and she’s ready to begin the life she’s always deserved. This sweet little girl didn’t receive much love or affection in her earlier years, but now her eyes are bright and her heart is open. With patience and kindness, her gentle personality truly shines. When meeting new people, Gracie can be shy and timid at first, approaching with caution and tenderness. Once she feels safe, she enjoys quiet companionship, soft affection, and long, relaxing naps. She’s just beginning to discover toys and is finding them more and more interesting as her confidence grows. Gracie is also doing well with her potty training and continues to make steady progress. She gets along nicely with other dogs of all sizes. Gracie would thrive in a calm, loving home where she can feel secure and cherished. A fenced-in yard is preferred, and she would do best in a home with children ages 6 and older who understand how to be gentle and respectful with a small dog. She’s looking for a forever family who will spoil her with love and patience and allow her to blossom at her own pace. If you’re searching for a loyal, affectionate companion who’s happiest simply being by your side, Gracie promises endless love in the tiniest, sweetest packag If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

Story

applications at leiashope.org Uno is a 4-month-old female Yorkie with a big personality packed into a tiny body. She may be small, but she’s mighty—Uno confidently chases and plays with the bigger dogs in her foster home and keeps right up with the action. She’s spunky, playful, and full of confidence, then happily curls up in the nearest cozy spot when playtime winds down. Uno is great with kids, enjoys cuddling, and loves having other dogs around to engage with. She prefers a home with a playful dog or children who will help keep her entertained. Despite her bold personality, she is not a barker or yappy at all. One thing she’s very clear about—she hates being cold and appreciates warm, comfy spots to snuggle into. She will require routine grooming to keep her Yorkie coat healthy and comfortable. We do not know her parents, so we cannot predict her adult size. Uno has a vet appointment scheduled for 12/19 and should be ready for her forever home shortly after. She will be current on age-appropriate vaccines and microchipped. Due to her young age, she is not yet spayed and will go home with a spay contract. Leia’s Hope will cover a portion of the spay cost when Uno is between 6–9 months of age. Adoption process details: Applications take approximately 7–10 business days to process. Meet and greets are scheduled only after an application is approved and require all family members (and resident dogs) to attend. Adopters must travel to Uno’s location; we do not provide transport or shipping. Yorkies like Uno are a long-term commitment—often 15 years or more—and adopters should be prepared to care for her for her entire life. Applications can be submitted at leiashope.org.

Story

Meet Holiday! This sweet Yorkie is 2.5 years old and weighs about 10 pounds. She came to us as a breeder release, so spending time with humans in a home is very new to her. She's nervous but inquisitive with new people and surroundings, and she has shown us that she just wants love! Her crate is her safe space and she likes to spend time on it. She's working on potty training with a strict schedule and has started to do her business outside - good job Holiday! She loves pets but she hasn't started seeking them out on her own yet. We hope her forever family will be prepared to teach her everything there is to know about being a beloved family member as she gains more confidence and learns to trust. She is absolutely adorable and willing to learn! Let us know if you think Holiday might be the Yorkie for you! Holiday's adoption fee is $600

Story

Applications at leiashope.org Oakley 5-Year-Old Female Yorkshire Terrier Location: Decatur, IL Oakley is a sweet little Yorkie who becomes more confident with each passing day. When the weather is nice, she enjoys spending time outside running the fence line with her foster fur siblings, keeping watch for strangers or the occasional rabbit. With the cold and snow, she’s much happier soaking up the warmth indoors, curled up in a cozy dog bed or snuggled close to her foster mom. Inside the home, Oakley has truly found her stride. She enjoys comfy dog beds, loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom, and is a world-class cuddler. She often chooses to lay close while watching TV, happily soaking up attention. Once hesitant, Oakley is now an attention hog and will absolutely navigate obstacles to make her way into a lap. Oakley is less fearful of strangers and does well with kids. She enjoys the company of other dogs and follows their lead, both for playtime and confidence. She has not been around cats. She’s a smart little girl who wants to please and continues to blossom in a loving home environment. One of her favorite daily routines is sharing a couple bites of banana with her foster mom each morning — a sweet tradition that perfectly sums up her gentle, affectionate personality. Oakley is a loving, loyal companion who is ready to bring warmth, cuddles, and a whole lot of love to her forever home. Oakley’s requirements: * A secure physical fenced yard * Another friendly canine companion in the home Oakley is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines, recently received a dental, and is on monthly heartworm prevention. Adoption fee: $400 Adoption information: Applications are processed by our volunteer team and typically take 7–10 business days. An approved application is required before scheduling a meet and greet. Meet and greets must be in person with all family members and resident dogs present. No transport or shipping is available — adopters must travel to the dog’s location in Decatur, IL. Dogs are a lifetime commitment and must be returned to Leia’s Hope if an adopter can no longer care for them. Applications available at leiashope.org.
