My story

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

LOCATED IN TROY, MO

Saphire is a spicy little Shihtzu that can hold her own when the bigger puppies get a little rough!

She has a beautiful coat with colors of lighter and darker brown and some black. Those colors will change as she ages.

Saphire is a happy girl and loves everyone and everything! She loves to play and we would like to see her placed with a family that has kids or a dog that is young and playful!

Saphire also loves people and likes to get under their feet making her a trip hazard for anyone with mobility problems.

Saphire was treated for Giardia, a common parasite found in puppy mills. She has finished her treatment and her stools should be retested in 30 days.

Saphire's adoption is $500. She is current on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Due to her young age she has not been spayed. A spay contract will be required. The spay is covered if using our vet in Troy, MO. 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!
