My story

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

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Unknown, likely yes
Crate trained: Mostly
House Trained: Mostly

Elphaba, or Elfie for short will steal the spotlight and your heart the second you meet her. This sweet, playful dog has never met a stranger and absolutely thrives on company, be it humans or other dogs. She adores cuddling up close with her favorite people and radiates love to all in her orbit.

Elfie brings confidence and energy to every moment and is the life of the party. It doesn’t matter what she’s doing, whether it be playing a game of fetch or just simply chilling in the yard, soaking up the sun, she brings the fun.

As a young pup, Elfie is still mastering crate and house-training. She’s learning to alert when it’s time to go out, though her curious mind sometimes gets the best of her. The good news? She’s eager to please, very food motivated (chicken-flavored treats and stuffed Kongs are big favorites), and she already picked up the “sit” command with ease. With a bit of patience and consistency, she’ll continue to thrive.

If you’re searching for a loyal companion that will provide endless entertainment and lots of love, look no further. Elfie will not let you down!

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.
