Story
Dasher is a 2 year old chihuahua/ mini poodle mix. He was found as a stray in Arizona. He is extremely loving towards people and children and plays well with small-medium size dogs. He has lived with a cat with no issues, but a slow and safe introduction is necessary. He knows basic commands, but is an aggressive puller on the lead. He is an active and high-energy dog that LOVES playing fetch. He gets territorial over his ball especially if another dog steals it, but he has NO bite record- only barking to chase away dogs in his personal space. He has separation anxiety, thus he needs someone that can handle an anxious pup and has the ability to train him. Dasher is a dog that is filled to the brim with love and is a perfect fit for a family with another active, friendly dog! He is such a sweet boy!!

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Located in Decatur, IL Say hello to Neon! This guy was formerly a stud in a puppy mill but he has left that world behind him! Neon is a loyal guy that loves the ladies! He follows foster mom everywhere and has even jumped in the shower to be with her! He has just started to play and currently his favorite friend is the handsome pup that looks back at him in the stove's shiny surface! He can keep himself pretty entertained! Neon is mostly good with other dogs but sometimes his chi attitude presents itself and he gets jealous and doesn't want to share a lap. It's all just for show and hasn't done anything. Little dogs and big attitudes seem to go hand in hand with chihuahua breed. Neon is a master at being a lap dog and just wants a person to love! Neon's adoption is $375. He is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped and on flea and heart worm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps! PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs.
