Leia's Hope Canine Rescue

We are a foster based rescue ran by a small group of volunteers. We focus mostly on dogs in puppy mills and as space permits senior dogs. Breeder dogs have a special place in my heart because they have never had the opportunity to just be a dog and live in a home and know what love is. I love watching the transformation in these dogs as they begin to trust and the sparkle comes back into their eyes. I can relate to them in regards that all of us at some time in our life feel unwanted and unloved and we are hopeful, yet doubtful, that we will find what our true potential is. We provide all the vetting for these dogs and they are placed in foster homes until a forever home can be found. We work on gaining their trust and showing them love. It's truly a labor of love!

Meet Regina

Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process. Requirements: Canine Companion Secure PHYSICAL fenced yard Regina is a shy Havanese/Poodle mix that was rescued from a puppy mill. She is learning to trust people and does best in a home with women. Regina likes to hoard all the toys and take them back to her bed. She is very playful and relaxed with other dogs and will need a confident canine playmate in her new home. Regina has opened up and trusts her foster mom and will ask for attention and more love when she is being held. Foster dad is still very scary to her and she avoids him as much as possible. Regina enjoys playing with other dogs in the yard and enjoying her freedom. She does not know how to walk on a leash and is considered a flight risk. She will require a secure physical fenced yard. Regina'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!
