My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Leiashope.org

Adaline is one spunky and brave puppy that has no idea she is as tiny as she is!

Adaline loves to play with the other foster pups and jump at the faces of the adult dogs in the home. She will pin down the bigger puppies and play bite at them. She carries around toys nearly as big as her head and jump out of laps when she wants down. She jumped off foster mom's lap suddenly the second day she had her and hurt herself, so she needs someone that will be her brains when she wants to do silly things!

Adaline has a tough time eating kibble and has been eating a balanced raw diet. She is doing fabulous on it and has gained some weight. She doesn't eat much so a raw diet would not cost her adopters much and it is way healthier than can food which has tons of preservatives that can cause digestive problems and bad for their teeth. Anyone with yorkie experience knows they are already predisposed to have dental problems so having a good diet will help her keep her teeth longer!

Due to Adaline's small size she would not be a fit for someone with mobility problems or small kids (under 12).

Adaline's adoption is $500. She is too young for a spay as we wait until 6 months. A spay contract is required and we will cover the expense if using our Decatur vet. She is microchipped, current on vaccines, and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention.

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!
