Good boy Whittaker is already happy to meet you! He’s a social boy who thrives on a good mix of activity and relaxation. Whittaker can’t wait to find a family who will help him settle in, learn new routines, and shower him with all the love he deserves.

Whittaker is always excited to meet new people and dogs. He doesn’t know the meaning of “stranger danger” and will walk right up to say hello. Whittaker has done wonderfully with the older kids he’s met—he loves to be invited to snuggle on the couch or in bed—and would likely do well with kids of any age with proper introductions and structure. This playful guy is a pro at making everyone around him feel loved.

Whittaker has been working hard on his house manners and is excited to continue to perfect them in his new home. As with any dog, he may need some help adjusting to new routines at first, but with time, patience, and lots of love, this clever boy is sure to adapt quickly. Whittaker loves to go on leash walks and explore the world with his people. He would love to run errands with you and brighten the days of everyone he meets along the way.

Whittaker is ready to meet lots of joy and fun into his new home. What are you waiting for? Apply to meet Whittaker today!

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.
