Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Hi there, Kalani is an almost 7lb Pomeranian. He is approximately 8 years old and is currently looking for a new home due to us having our first baby. He does great around her and she loves touching his soft fur but unfortunately since we have to direct most of our time and energy towards the baby he has begun having accidents in the house. We feel if he went to a home where he had constant attention being the only animal he would go back to zero accidents along with being much happier overall. He's a very sweet dog, and loves to cuddle. I would like to be able to keep contact with his next owner as I'm still pretty attached to him, I just need to do what's best for all of us and find him his forever home! This is the perfect dog for you if you're looking for a couch potato that enjoys walks and car rides in your lap a couple times a week! He will come with his crate, beds, blankets, front carrier (like a baby), all of his clothes, harness/leash, bandanas, kong/stuffy, and food.

Story

Tank is almost 8 & Truck almost 6. Their owners are getting divorced & neither of them are taking the dogs. The lady said if no one took them she would put them down. I am fostering them. I have 3 dogs of my own, I need to find a great place for them as soon as possible. This is a very urgent. They have been together their entire lives & are leaning on each other for support, I am praying they can stay together. No known health issues, just some good ole boys needing a new forever home. The previous owners had 3 cats, good with kids. 90 lbs a piece, would like to see them stay together. They are neutered and up to date on shots.

Story

Mickey came to me as a temporary foster, turned long term foster. He is between 8-10 years old. He’s a friendly dog that loves attention. Mickey does well with other dogs but not cats. He is reactive to noises. He is known for chasing squirrels or other animals outside, so he would do best with a fenced in yard and a single family home.

Story

Trigger is a very calm, gentle, and incredibly sweet dog. He loves being outside, enjoys lots of pets, and is happiest just being near his person. From what I’ve seen, he does well with cats and has a loving, easygoing personality. ⚠️ Important: Trigger does not do well with other dogs, so he will need to be the only dog in the home. He originally belonged to my mom, who passed away, so finding him the right home means everything to me. I just don’t feel like I can give him everything he needs right now, and I know he would thrive in a home with: A yard or outdoor space Someone who can give him lots of love and attention ❤️ I’m looking for a truly loving, committed home. I would really appreciate: Occasional updates/photos The possibility of visiting him sometimes (if you’re comfortable) 💲 Small adoption fee applies to ensure a safe and serious home. Please message me with information about your home, lifestyle, and experience with dogs if you’re interested

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.L eye removalJerzy is a beautiful brindle and white mountain cur mix. She is a perfect medium sized dog with some delicate features in her sweet face and thin legs and weighs just around 45 pounds. In early 2025, Jerzy had surgery to remove her eye due to complications from glaucoma. She has recovered very nicely from this and it no longer affects her health. Jerzy can be slow to open up to new people before she shows her goofy and smart side, but your patience will be rewarded by this lovable girl once she starts to show you her true personality! Jerzy would love a home with no children and she will be best suited with no kitties. An owner that will love to walk and exercise her daily will enjoy how well she walks on a leash. She may possibly enjoy the company of an easy-going, playful medium sized male dog as well! A secure yard would be an added bonus for Jerzy as well! Jerzy is super smart and has mastered her basic skills and moved on to trick training! Jerzy's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives plus a free basic training course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha. If you would like to meet Jerzy, please submit an adoption application through our website for consideration, www.Adopthope.org. Last Hope requires that potential adopters with a history of owning animals demonstrate that they have kept them altered, as indoor pets only and kept current on annual vaccinations/testing. Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am
