Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Jumping for joy James!! This happy go lucky boy is so fun and knows no stranger! To top it off, he has excellent manners (minus the jumping for joy), knows all basic obedience and LOVES walks/runs with the kids! He absolutely loves other dogs and we want to see a canine buddy in his new home, perhaps one with good, playful energy but able to walk away from his playfullness and enjoy basking in the sun too. The two dogs in his foster home have this mastered perfectly with him, the rug her amount of play balances the best amount of rest for everyone.    James truly is the perfect family pup, great size, crate and housetrained, or perhaps an agility dog-he has the energy, drive, and smarts for that too! Wow his new person/family is in for the best boy! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 2, 2024, 12:54 pm

Story
Timmy is an adorable and playful almost 4 year old Aussie-poo. He is extremely loving, loyal, and intelligent. He loves to cuddle. He does experience some anxiety around new people and he is protective of his family. Sadly, he has struggled to adjust to our new baby and would do best in a home without small children. He is housetrained, microchipped, and current on all shots.

Story
Location: Decatur, IL Emerald is a puppy mill survivor! She is still learning the ways of being a pet and adjusting to life in a home. Emerald is sometimes shy and insecure with strangers (especially men) and will bark at them. Her new family will need to understand this and take things slow when introducing new people and having guests. We recommend short visits that are positive to help her be ok with new people. Emerald has discovered all the joys of toys and likes to play with them. She spins in circles when she is happy or excited. She loves other dogs and will lay next to them. She thinks every dog is her friend, even if they have different feelings about it. Emerald is not sure about grass but is getting a little more comfortable with being outside. She likes to lay on the concrete in the sun. She gets along great with other dogs and will play with them, but she can also entertain herself. She is good with snuggles from people but is unsure about being picked up and will run away at first. This should get better with time and as she learns to trust. Emerald is considered a flight risk and will need a secure physical fence to keep her safe. Someone with mill dog experience is needed or another canine companion in the dog. Another dog will help her continue her studies in being a pet. Emerald's adoption fee is $375. She is spayed and current on vaccines and on monthly flea and heart worm prevention. Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. NOTE: WE ARE A VOLUNTEER RAN ORGANIZATION AND OUR APPLICATION PROCESS CAN TAKE 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS, DEPENDING ON OUR AVAILIBILITY AND YOUR REFERENCES. ALL OF OUR DOGS ARE IN FOSTER HOMES AND NOT AT A CENTRAL LOCATION. AN APPROVED APPLICATION IS REQUIRED BEFORE WE DO MEET AND GREETS. WE DO NOT SHIP OR TRANSPORT DOGS. YOU MUST COME TO THE LOCATION OF THE DOG TO MEET AND ADOPT.
