Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Location: Decatur, IL Requirements: Secure PHYSICAL fenced yard Pearl is a spunky and sassy Shih Tzu that likes to use her voice! She is a previous breeder dog and was shy at first but has warmed up in her foster home and has the Shih Tzu attitude the breed is loved for! Pearl likes to play, but she can be a little rough in her play. She has found a great playmate with the 16 lb Shihtzu mix in the foster home. The two of them run and jump on each other, tackle and wrestle until they are tired. She loves to chew and enjoys her weekly raw meaty bone given in her kennel. Pearl was very picky with her food when she came into rescue and so foster mom tried her on raw (which is what her dogs eat) and she eats it well. Foster mom is mixing raw with kibble and she does well with it. Pearl has only been around a toddler and she was terrified to the point of pooping herself. It is not recommended that small children live in the home with Pearl. She will require a secure physical fenced yard. Pearl's adoption is $375. She is spayed, microchipped, current on vaccines and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps! PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing. All of our dogs are in foster homes and a meet and greet is done ONLY after an approved application. We do adopt out of the area. However, we do not ship or provide transportation. You must come to the location of the dog to meet and adopt. NO EXCEPTION. All family members and dogs must be present at the meet. Dogs are a commitment for THEIR lifetime. For puppies this could be 15 years. If YOU cannot commit to the lifetime of the DOG, please do not apply. Puppies under 9 months must go to a home where there is someone home frequently (works from home or a partner is home), can adequately socialize and train the puppy, and can keep up with puppy energy!

Story
Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Located in Troy, MO Requirements: Canine Companion (the more the better) Secure physical fenced yard Jack is a sweet little guy with some insecurities and fears he needs to work through. Jack will do best in a home with at least one other young confident dog. He is good with dogs of all sizes but plays best with dogs his size or bigger. Jack is a playful guy and is enjoying his foster home with multiple dogs! His best friend is a cavalier/bernese dog and maybe it's his bigger size that makes Jack feel safe. Jack enjoys running around the yard with his friends, chasing each other, playing tug, and then taking a nap! Jack is also very sweet and loves his couch and cuddle time with foster mom. He tends to gravitate to women and sleeps in bed next to foster mom at night. Jack has a phobia to people in hats. It terrifies him and he will run and hide and shake. Please be mindful of this if you meet him and when others meet him. Jack walks good on a leash and would maybe enjoy short walks in a familiar environment. However, new people and situations scare him, and his instinct is to flee, so a physical fenced yard is required. Jack's adoption is $375. He is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps. PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs.
