Leon is such a good boy--and he wanted to show off some of his manners and tricks in hopes that his family will see him! Leon and two of his brothers came from a litter of 10...but they are still waiting for a family to call their very own. They are 4 months old and Leon is about 30 lbs.

Leon does great with other dogs and cats. He is housebroke, walks great on a leash, and as you can see--know "sit", "down", and how to take a treat nice!

This little guy's adoption fee is just $250 and that includes his rabies, distemper, neuter, and microchip. You can apply for him on our website. www.newleashdogrescue.com.

Penny is a pup who found her way to our rescue this past week. She is a local Wisconsin pup who we think is about 3 months old and about 10 lbs. Your breed guess is as good as ours :)

Penny is an incredibly smart girl who loves to be by her humans. We think she would make a great family dog. She also loves other dogs and we have no reason to think she wouldn't do just fine with cats as well. She is loyal and follows her humans around, waiting for an opportunity to snuggle.

She likely didn't live in a house before, so housebreaking is new to her, but she is catching on very quickly. She is treat motivated, and did I say smart, so she is learning so much in her first week with us. When it is time for her to go in her kennel, she also does okay with that.

Overall—she is great pup. She will be going to the vet on January 21st and after that, will be ready for adoption.

If you are interested in this little honey, you can go to our website and fill out an application. www.newleashdogrescue.com. If you already have an application on file, just send us a message.

Her adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, and vaccines appropriate for her age.

Apollo is a stunning pittie mix who is looking for a home to call his own. He is almost 4 months old and about 30 lbs. He is doing very well with kennel training and housebreaking. He loves to play with other dogs. He has been fine with his limited interactions with cats. He does pretty good with kids, but needs to be supervised because he still puppy "bites" and can be a little rambunctious. He is a snuggle bug.

His $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, microchip and vaccines to date. If you are interested, please fill out an application on our website. www.newleashdogrescue.com.

COURTESY POST:

Bo also finds himself looking for a new home, through no fault of his own. Due to health issues, his owner is no longer able to safely care for a dog his size. Bo is a 6 year old, 135 lb neutered yellow lab. He is the only dog in his home currently, so they are not sure how he would do with other dogs. They do know—he does not like cats. He has previously lived with another dog who passed away, so it is likely he would do fine living with another dog again.

Bo is an attention hog and will take as much attention as people are willing to give him. He is full of energy and loves to play ball—but hasn't quite learned the art of giving the ball back. Because he is so big, and loves to run and play, he needs an adult who can handle his size. He is fully housebroke and does not need to be kenneled. He does occasionally countersurf when home if there is a spoon or something like that on the counter with food.

If you think you might be a good fit for Bo, please PM us so we can connect you with his owner. If not—please SHARE!

COURTESY POST:

Winston and Wallace find themselves looking for a new home, through no fault of their own. These are local dogs. We are doing a courtesy post to see if there is a home out there who will consider keeping them together. If we cannot find that home for them, the owner will be forced to separate these buddies.

Winston is a 4 year old hound mix, weighing in at about 90 lbs. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccines. He is a lazy couch potato who is good with other dogs and know some basic commands. He can be a little anxious/skittish but does well with reassurance. His previous home had children and he did fine with them, but he hasn't lived with kids for a while. Warning-Winston likes to sleep in bed with his human :)

Wallace is a 4 year old Great Dane mix weighing in at about 130 lbs. He is also neutered and up to date on his vaccines. He is good with other dogs and loves to play, but is also described as mostly a couch potato. He has some minor separation anxiety but love to go to doggie daycare and is a fan of talking walks. He also likes to sleep in bed with his human.

If you think you can give these two boys a home, please PM us and we can connect you with their owner. If you cannot—please share, share, share to help find them a new home.

We have a few needs for volunteer drivers coming up. If you can help- please let us know.

First trip is this Friday to pick up pups in Rochester around noon and bring them back to La Crosse.

Then we need a drivers for a few Tuesdays in January to leave La Crosse around 5am and bring pups to Sheffield, Iowa (about 3 hrs) for surgery. There is a quaint gift and coffee shop to hang out at, and when the dogs are ready for release from the vet, drive them back to La Crosse. We do have a van that can be used. Right now we have January 21st reserved, but we may need to bring dogs down on January 14th as well.

Please PM us directly if you can help. Thank yo!

This handsome guy is Pablo and he is really hoping to find a foster home before Thursday so he can hitch a ride to us. Unfortunately it has been said that this could be his last chance to find a home 😭. He was found on the streets of Texas and brought into the shelter. The staff and volunteers there said he’s just the happiest boy who just wants to play. He’s thought to be about a year old and is just shy of 40lbs. He’s expected to be good with all humans and dogs. Cats are unknown. We are unsure on his breed but looks like a possible boxer mix.

Please private message us ASAP if you can foster as transport leaves Thursday.

His adoption fee (when he’s ready) will be $200 which will include his neuter, HW Test, microchip and up to date vaccinations.

Foster found!

🆘 one of our supporters had a young puppy abandoned at her house tonight. She seems to be underweight and the resident dogs do not care for other pups so she needs a foster ASAP. She is only about 10lbs and under 4 months (still has her baby teeth). She is a bit shy but otherwise loves people.
Please message us if you have an approved application and can foster this sweet girl ❤️

On the 12th Day of Christmas, my true love brought to me—thoughts of joy and gratitude for the amazing rescue family we have built. We have amazing foster families who take in all breeds, ages, sizes, and even special needs dogs. These wonderful foster families sometimes show a dog love for the very first time and they let the dog bond with them and teach them so many things from basic manners to how to trust humans. Foster families are the core and foundation of our rescue—and Tonka is one example of a dog who needed a very special home and he found one with his foster family. Tonka has recently started anxiety medication and it has made a world of difference for him. But on fact remains to be true, he would do best in a home as an only dog. But his stranger danger has lessened greatly and he is just a much happier boy.

Below is a link to his full post - please share him and all of the dogs who don't even know they are fostered, because all they know is they are loved. But finding them homes means we can save more dogs.

On the 11th day of Christmas Zirah finds herself still looking for a home.

This sweet little husky mix, who will turn 2 in April (DOB 4/26/23), has only one Christmas wish - to find a home to call her very own. She was found on the streets of Texas in 2023. She then spent a few months in the shelter before finding rescue down there. In January 2024 she came into the New Leash Family and has been in a foster home since then.

Zirah is very timid and takes awhile to warm up to new people so she will require a patient family who can continue to make her feel safe and one who doesn’t have a lot of new people coming over. She tends to be afraid of many things so we believe she needs a home without small children. She will likely run if not contained so a fenced in yard is required.

✅She is doing well with potty training
✅Loves being outside and the 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 adopting a timid dog the best feeling in the world is seeing them blossom before your eyes.

Zirah is eligible for our foster to adopt program. 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

On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me- so many dogs. Who can’t love one more dog? Max is one of three pups who are still looking for a furever home from the Lucky 10. He is 4 months old and the perfect age for learning new things and is so much fun to run and play with and then settle down for some serious snuggle time. If you are interested in Max, please go to our website and fill out an application. www.newleashdogrescue.com

On the 9th day of Christmas my true love …… is Magnificent Maui! 😍

Maui was in one home his whole life until he was surrendered to a crowded shelter at 4 years old when the Mom became pregnant. If you know German Shepherds, you likely know that they deteriorate quickly in a shelter environment with being away from their humans - he was no exception to this.

Maui lost quite a bit of weight in his time at the shelter. Since coming into the rescue he has started to gain weight and feel better all around. Unfortunately, we have learned that Maui prefers to be the only doggo in his house as he tends to be hyper focused on other dogs when they’re around. He would likely benefit from training (and a strong owner) which will help him learn to look to his human for guidance and confidence. He has worked with a trainer and he has potential to be with other dogs - if given the proper tools. Here’s a bit more about Maui:

✅Energetic
✅Loves his humans
✅Loves zoomies
✅Good with cats
✅Loves water
✅Loves walks
✅Crate trained
✅Potty trained
➡️ does tend to counter surf and will eat food left out
ℹ️ Maui does well with structure so a strong, confident owner is required to prevent bouncing around (German Shepherd experience is a plus!) Professional training is also highly encouraged and we’d be more than happy to give some recommendations 🙂

Maui has been through a lot in the last few months but really just wants to love on you! If you can help him by fostering or are interested in adoption APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

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

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love found me Charlie!! He will be 1 year old on 1/1/2025 and is still searching for his furever home ❤️

Introducing: sweet Mr. Charlie (formerly known as Pansy)! 😘🩵 This handsome little guy had quite a rough beginning to life…as he was diagnosed with parvo at 7 weeks old. 😭 He was hospitalized for over 2 weeks, and in those 2 weeks he showed his true strength and resilience…as a fight for his life he undoubtedly had! Charlie was heavily medicated, tube fed, and monitored by the hour. When he was stable enough to be released from emergency care, his current foster family took him in in-order to keep him separated from his siblings. Fast-forward to today, and Charlie is healthy, happy, strong, and thriving! 🙏🏼 His care costs were expensive…but you can’t put a price tag on a precious little life. And for Charlie’s life we are SO thankful! 🥹🥹

Born on 1/1/24 (a New Year’s baby! 🎊) to mama Rosie, Charlie (male) is coming up on his first birthday and is about 65 lbs. . Charlie (with all of his cuteness 🥰) is SUCH a lovable little guy! He has lots of energy, loves to give out kisses, and gets along so well with other dogs + humans of any/all ages! He is kennel-trained, usually sleeps through the entire night, knows how to sit, shake, high five, and lay down! As a bonus, he is highly food/treat motivated AND extremely smart! 🙌🏼 He is bell-trained and will hit the bell hanging at the door when he needs to be let out to potty. He would love a family who can exercise him regularly (he’s an active, energetic guy!), and — although not a requirement — would especially love a fenced-in yard to run and play in. He most loves being outside and sunbathing in the backyard! ☀️ Charlie is being fostered with children ages 6 and 9, and has been around kiddos as young as 5. He loves them all! 😍 Though as with any pup, young kids should be taught respect + proper puppy boundaries! As of right now, it is unknown how he’d do with kitties. Charlie loves to play, loves snuggling up in cozy blankies, and just loves being loved. 🥰🥰 He is such a sweet boy…and a survivor. 🥲 He will make a wonderfully loving addition to a family he’s able to call his own. Apply now + reach out via private message…just ask for Charlie! 🫶🏼

APPLY HERE: https://newleashdogrescue.com (or private message us if you’re already preapproved!)

**Charlie’s $250 adoption fee includes his neuter, vaccines to date, and microchip.
