Blind doggos deserve love, too 🥺🥺…and we just can’t seem to understand why the SWEETEST of all sweethearts – Cora – has not yet found the love that she is so very worthy of. After 7 years with her previous family, Cora started to lose her eyesight. Heartbreakingly enough, once she lost her vision…she also lost her family. 💔 Despite her confusion in being uprooted from everything she had ever known, Cora’s sweetness remains. She is an incredibly loving, low-key type of girl, and the person/family that gets to love on her for the remainder of her years is going to be so unbelievably lucky! 🥹💗

Cora (female) is now around 8 years old, so is officially in the senior years of life (no puppy-business here! 🙌🏼). She is thought to be a boxer mix of sorts and weighs-in right at 40lbs, so is the perfect medium-sized girl. With her vision impairment, there are obviously some specifics she requires in a forever home…but please believe us when we say that she has proven herself to be amazingly adaptable and is an all-around complete catch! 💝 Other than her blindness, Cora has received a clean bill of health. Yes, she has been let down. But all that she asks for is love! A love that will not pity her…but a love that will be her eyes, her strength, and her whole world. Because she deserves that (& more!). 🩷🙏🏼

Cora is:
✅ Completely potty-trained
✅ Seriously, as sweet as: 🥧
✅ Calm, quiet, and a lover of lounging
✅ Cuddly (she LOVES her snuggles!)
✅ Affectionate (SUCH a lover-girl😘)
✅ Cute as a button (obviously!😉)
✅ Crate-trained; has no issues snoozing quietly in her kennel😴
✅ A wonderful walking companion (& does great on-leash!) 👣🐾
✅ Completely ok with walking up & down stairs once she is accustomed to them (see the video in the comments below)!

When it comes to Cora’s home requirements, here is what we know she needs:
➡️ A calmer, quiet home. Cora’s previous home environments consisted of young kids, and they are simply just too much chaos/commotion for her. While she does just fine with children once she knows them/gets used to them, our commitment to her is to find the very best fit to allow her to live her very BEST life. Therefore, calm + quiet = a must!
➡️ No young children/kids must be ages 13+ (see the blurb above). Quick movements, loud noises, commotion, and busy-ness in general (all things that just come along with young kids/toddlers🙃) really stress Cora out. Therefore, an adult-only home/a home with children who are old enough to respect Cora, her space, and her need to become conditioned to her surroundings = a must.
➡️ While a fenced-in yard is recommended, it is not necessarily a requirement. Cora learns quickly, and she likes to be by her person/people, so she would adapt to being leashed (& obviously monitored) while outside.
➡️ She would do great with another calm, relaxed [most likely senior] dog who wouldn’t mind Cora following him/her around. She enjoys following their lead, but does *not* enjoy if they attempt to run/play/overly engage with her. So we think that another sweet senior would suit her perfectly!
➡️ She will take some ❗️TIME❗️ as she adjusts to a new home placement, and this is something that her person/people must understand. A home with blind dog experience would be a major perk, but we honestly don’t think that Cora requires it. As long as you have plenty of patience, an abundance of love, and the desire for some sweet snuggles…that is all Cora could ever ask for! 🫶🏼

Please consider giving this sweet girl a chance. If your home is not the right fit for Cora, please ‼️SHARE‼️ so that we can get her adorable, adoptable face out there!

**Cora’s $200 adoption fee includes her spay, heartworm test, vaccinations, and microchip.

Rocky is still looking for his furever home! 💙

Miss Zirah is a sweet little husky mix, who turned 2 in April (DOB 4/26/23). She has been looking for her furever home since being found as a stray when she was JUST a few months old….so yes….she’s been patiently waiting for over TWO YEARS 😭! She has been in a wonderful foster home for the last year and a half but she really would love, and so deserves, to find a home of her own.

Zirah is very timid can take awhile to warm up to new people so she will require a patient family who can continue to make her feel safe. Because of her timidness we believe she needs a home without small children.

✅She is doing well with potty training
✅Loves being outside rain, shine or snow ❄️
✅ LOVES other dogs and really needs another playful dog to show her how grand life can be 🥰
✅ Gentle at giving kisses and taking treats
✅ Enjoys being the nosey neighbor and watching out then windows
✅ after she learns to trust her human she comes when called and gives the sweetest kisses 🥹

Zirah will benefit from a family who is home often (although this is not required) and will help her confidence grow. She tends to be an escape artist so, if crated, will need a heavy duty one. She is currently left out when alone but does tend to get into things when it’s a longer period of time.

Zirah’s adoption fee is $200 which includes her microchip, spay, heart worm test, current vaccinations and vet check.

Zirah is also eligible for our foster to adopt program. We can provide a heavy duty crate for her while you’re fostering if needed. If you think you might be a good fit, please send us a message. If you don't already have an application on file, please to go out website and fill one out! www.newleashdogrescue.com

Hudson is really hoping to land a home soon 💙

Hudson 🥹 is just a boy, not yet an adult, who has been with us most of his life and is still waiting to find his furever family. Hudson has been working hard at training (at Doggie Business) with his foster so he’s beyond ready to have hooman(s) to call his own🥹 He was born 8/26/24 so in just 2 months he’ll be a year. Let’s find him his happily ever after before then! 💙

Hudson is around 50lbs and a perfect combination of couch potato and busy body. When he’s ready to burn some energy he enjoys playing fetch ⚾️. He’s a quirky boy who is ever so loyal to his people. He loves his people with his whole heart and is incredibly willing to please.

🚶‍♀️ Walks great on a leash
🚽 fully potty trained
🚗 loves car rides
🛋️ loves to snuggle 🥰

Hudson can be timid around strangers and may take a bit to warm up. Although he has done ok with some children, over all we feel that he’d do best in a home without children.

Hudson attends daycare and does well when there are no toys out. He does get possessive of toys and food so we also feel he’d be best in a home as the only dog (cats are unknown). He’d especially love all the attention 🥰. Because of his guarding issues Hudson would also benefit from a strong or expert owner. Doggie Business is committed to providing additional support to Hudson and his humans when he finally lands himself the right home.

If you’re interested in adopting Hudson, and are Pre-approved, please private message us, or APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

**Hudson’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, heartworm test, current vet check, and microchip.

Please 🙏 help Cora find a furever home (or new foster home). She’s blind but otherwise healthy. She does need to be an only dog with no young children because she gets too anxious around them due to her lack of sight. Please share, or even better message us if you can foster or adopt Cora ❤️❤️

Please share share share this post. This loving girl is so deserving of a new home 🩷 Cora is still desperately in need of a calm home to spend the rest of her years. If not an adoptive home, a calm foster home is needed ASAP or she will be forced to go to boarding 🥺. Her current foster home loves her dearly but they have active dogs and young children so Cora is not doing well. We know her family is out there some where we just hope this post finds its way to them. 🙏

Sweet Cora is an alumni of NLOL from many years ago when she was young—but now she is about 7-8 years old and has lost her vision. She was not doing well with the younger kids in her home and they felt a calmer home would be better for her. Other than being blind, we are not aware of any health issues. She is about 40 lbs and of course it is hard for her to learn her new surroundings, so a family who will help her navigate her new environment with patience is necessary. A fenced yard is also required. She would love a calm home with no other dogs as they can also be scary to her. She loves to snuggle and is completely housebroken. Her adoption fee is fully sponsored to the right home. If you are interested and don't have an application on file, please go to our website and fill out an application. www.newleashdogrescue.com. If you have an application on file, please PM us.

We have some puppers (dogs and puppies) arriving from Texas on Tuesday. They have a ride to Rochester, but we need someone to pick them up in Rochester and bring them to La Crosse. Current ETA to Rochester is about 4 p.m. We can reimburse for gas or provide a van (valid license and clean driving record required) if needed. Please PM us if you can help! Thank you.

Sylvie is a Pyrenees sweetheart who needs to find herself a new home. She is good with other dogs and fine with cats. She is also good with people and kids. She is 9 years old so I am sure she would appreciate a bit calmer home. If you want to show Sylvie some love and can open your home to her, please send us a message.

Max is in need of a foster or adoptive home. If we can secure a place for him he will arrive 7/15.

Max is a 2 year old, 16lb, chihuahua who was found under a tree in a park and would not leave, almost like he was waiting for someone to come back. When no one came back he was rescued and his owners never came forward so he finds himself in need of a home!

Max is an active and playful boy while also being independent. He loves to be outdoors and especially loves walks. He is a bit nervous on car rides but is getting more comfortable. Max is also good with other dogs. Cats are unknown.

If you can foster, or are interested in adopting Max, and are Pre-approved, please private message us, or APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

**Max’s $200 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, heart work test, current vet check, and microchip.
