Story
Soda Pop came to New Leash on Life USA as one of the most tragic stories we've ever seen. He was being beaten in public by a man with a shower curtain rod, some good Samaritans called it in and he was taken to the shelter. Emaciated, terrified, and showing evidence of neglect and outright abuse, Soda Pop needed a miracle. New Leash scooped him up and put him into a loving foster home who showed him the kindness humans can provide. Soda Pop is currently going through training classes and healing his physical and emotional scars. He loves nothing more than to snuggle up with you and sit and watch the world go by. He would do best in a home without other pets where he can be the center of attention, and he would love if his person was home most of the time to be with him. His transformation from fear of people to wanting to be close to them is one of wonder. Please submit an application to meet Soda Pop and be a part of his rescue journey.

Story
Benzino is a friendly, playful, young dog. He likes going on walks, exploring in the backyard, chewing bones, and playing ball (though he is still learning how to drop his ball on command). He is an excellent snuggler, and loves to sleep next to his person. He has cat friends in his foster home, who he is always calm and polite with. He has a couple of dog friends who he hasn't been off-leash with, but regularly walks with. He is never reactive to other dogs or people on walks. Sometimes he needs attention for itchy skin. His only behavior needs will be to have continued support with his pulling on the leash on walks (he wants to chase birds and squirrels), and barking very loudly if he wants something (at this point, it's just to go outside to the bathroom). Benzino would be an excellent addition to a home with adults or older children, and would be fine with other pets after slow and careful introductions.

Story
Meet Treston! Treston is an energetic, loveable 4 yr old pup. He is social with other dogs, and is currently in foster with two dogs, but really loves human companionship! He loves to be by your side and will follow you like a shadow. Treston's hobbies include cuddling, snuggling, and whatever your hobbies are Treston's least favorite thing is alone time. He's still learning how to enjoy solo-time in his crate. He's known to be a very successful escape artist when his foster mama isn't around. Treston's ideal adopter would be someone who understands his social needs and can continue building a positive experience for him when crating - tasty enrichment like a kong or chewy bone helps! When Treston is happy he is an excitable guy! He can be bouncey and energetic so a home without small children is ideal. Treston is very food motivated and a star student when it comes to training. He would love an active home that can provide him daily exercise and ongoing positive reinforcement training so he can be the very best boy he's destined to be! Want to know more about Treston or setup a meet? Email his foster Mackenzie at mackenzie.llillian@icloud.com Read on below to hear what his volunteer buddies had to say about him when he was at the shelter. Staff and volunteers both have great things to say about this cutie! Per behavior staff 7/15: He was high energy and super playful with tag, but also very gentle the entire time. He did not jump and would approach attempting to play and curl up next to my legs for affection. Per volunteer 7/16 in regard to Dozer and Treston: These two didn't know each other but would have thought they did. They were the perfect friend combo! Dozer was so scared to leave the building. Once outside we met Treston who did an excellent job being patient to having Dozer as a shadow. Treston is calm and walks nicely on leash. He likes to sniff outside and go for a casual walk. Dozer kept up behind. Everything Treston was smelling so was Dozer. Dozer became much more comfortable and the two began to play. Dozer is cuddle motivated and Treston is treat motivated. We cautiously gave treats to the two and both were so patient. Treston would make an excellent foster. He is great with others (people and dog) and his barky kennel presence at times can be off putting. Per volunteer 7/16: Awww this guy is so nice outside his kennel. Has good dog meet. Let me leash him and go out. Pulls a little on the leash at first. Knows sit. So sweet, loves being pet. Very nice boy. Very treat motivated. Per volunteer 7/23: Treston was such a good boy in the car! He was really excited to be out and about but I think the amount of people and dogs are the farmers market was overwhelming for him. He didn't appear aggressive towards dogs but reallllllly wanted to get to them and was becoming over stimulated. Did great with people, knows sit and loves hot dogs

Story
If you're looking for a canine companion to brighten your day, miss Reia sunshine is the dog for you! This petite 40 pound 4 year old girl is a contender for the title of happiest dog on the planet. She came to the shelter as a stray and the only thing we know for sure about her past is that she's been mama. Reia is a bright girl who quickly learned to sit on command and, after a little bit of complaining, will settle in and sleep in her crate for the night. She is inches away from being housebroken. Her favorite things (other than treats and cuddling on the sofa) are playing fetch and tug-of-war. She hasn't had a formal dog meet yet, but is interested in other dogs. She may have a little too much energy to live with a feline sibling and an adult only home is recommended.

Story
Maxey has been in foster care for a year now and is thriving. She walks nice on the leash. She gets along with other dogs so much she wants to live with another dog probably. She chases cats though, no cat friends. She is 100% house trained. She doesn't necessarily wag her tail for strangers, especially men it takes her a while to warm up to. Her foster dad and her have bonded, but most other men can't pet her before they earn her trust. She's happy to walk around men and has never snapped or showed aggression, but she'll also ask for space. She has had many litters. She likes little kids. Ladies. She knows some tricks, highfive, lay down, touch. She knows to lay down on her bed when people are eating. She takes treats gently. She likes to spoon. She'll show her belly when she's happy. She naps a lot. If its a bathroom emergency she specifically tells you (even people she doesn't trust yet) she needs to go out. She'll wrestle another dog or give them space depending on what they ask. She can eat her food near other dogs, no food or possession aggressions noted. She follows foster dad around the house but isn't overly clingy. Her favorite thing is breakfast. She doesn't like to be left alone but also doesn't tear up the house when she's left by herself. She hates a bath emotionally, but understands its part of the program and isn't overly fussy about it. She's low energy but athletic, she walks about 2 miles a day and has a nice gait if you want to run her. She's the best.
