My story

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

Adoptable in: MA

Good with dogs: Yes, with proper intros
Good with cats: Unknown, likely no
Good with kids: Yes, older children
Crate trained: Working on it
House trained: Yes

Braxton is a very sweet, energetic boy, with a love for attention and meeting new people. Filled with energy, love, and an endless capacity for hikes and adventures, Braxton can’t wait to find his new home!

Braxton is incredibly food motivated and loves to train. He does agility jumps/tunnels at his current foster home, and has so far learned sit, down, and spin. With proper exercise, Braxton is a great cuddle buddy!

Braxton loves his people so much that being away from them is sometimes hard for him. He's working on being quiet in the crate and is doing very well overnight. With patience and dedication, Braxton will thrive in mastering his crate, and feeling safe and comfortable settling down in the house.

Because of Braxton’s energy and vocalization, no apartments or sensitive neighbors for this guy! Braxton is still learning how to properly read social cues from other dogs, and can sometimes have overly energetic and jumpy introductions, and can be a bit of a food thief! With a strong prey drive, cats might not be Braxton’s best friend, but with time and patience, he surely could thrive with fellow dogs, and older-kid friends.

With a loving, and patient home, Braxton is sure to grow into a confident, fun, loving pup, ready to take on life with his humans by his side. He can’t wait to go to his forever home!

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
