Details

Story

Otis was adopted as a puppy from a local family in Riverside 6 years ago. Otis has been through different phases of life and has adopted well. Went from being a second pet to by himself due to his brother passing away from age. Went from two loving parents to a full family of five. As he has done well going through the changes, the family has not. With unexpected changes, the family is unable to give the love and attention that Otis deserves. He used to go for sprint runs, long walks and dog parks, to even cuddling on the couch for long hours on movie nights. No matter the mood, Otis adapts to the activities the family wants to do. Otis needs a home that has time to give him all the love and attention that he deserves. Otis is currently in a home with three children but has been the only pet for the past 5 years. He has had interactions with cats and dogs and has gotten along, he can just be shy at first. Otis really enjoys all humans and is always excited for new friends.

Story

Delilah was adopted from CVHS in October of 2018. We got her as a companion for my other dog is around her same age, she will be turning 9 years old this year. She is a very sweet and cuddly dog who loves being with her person. She will give you all the cuddles and kisses even when you don’t need one! She is definitely a lover girl who also really enjoys water. She loves jumping in our baby pool and taking a nice dip and relaxing. She is very energetic and would require daily walks to keep her from going crazy lol. Unfortunately, we have learned since having our first child that she is not very comfortable around smaller children and that she needs all the attention. She is best suited for someone with other children who can give her the care and attention she needs.

Juliette

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Juliette! She is looking for a forever home where she can have time to settle in and be herself. She is quite timid and will require a secure, fenced in back yard to run in. We don't know everything about Juliette's background but she is sensitive to having her collar touched and tends to drop to the ground if you go to grab her collar. Despite being a little shy, she is a very playful dog and would do well with another canine friend to live with. She gets along with other dogs of all sizes and plays very well with her 7 pound foster sibling. Juliette had not been cat tested so we are not sure how she would do in a home with other cats. She is potty trained and kennel trained. She loves her kennel and prefers to be in there when home alone because she is pretty anxious. Juliette does have some minor resource guarding and does not like if other dogs get near her food bowl so it is best to separate her into her kennel for feeding times. Juliette's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives, as well as a free basic obedience course at Cedar Run #2 in Hiawatha. Last hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of keeping their pets altered and current on vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Juliette, please fill out an adoption application for consideration on our website, www.adopthope.org. Our adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and a home visit.

Jerzy

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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

Kenny

Pit Bull Terrier

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Front L Leg AmputatedMeet Kenny! He's a 3-legged wonder dog with terrific ears and a whole lot of love to share! Kenny does great with people of all ages and loves everyone he meets. He tends to match other dogs' energies so he would do best in a home with a calmer but playful dog near his size or he could easily live as an only dog. When it comes to meeting other dogs, he will require a proper, controlled introduction. He is not a great match for someone looking for a "dog park type" dog. He will need a home without cats/small animals. Kenny is potty trained and has already learned how to sit. Given his young age, his adopters will enjoy his FREE training class at Cedar Run Company #2 in Hiawatha that is included with his adoption fee. Kenny is such a smart pup, he's sure to be a star pupil! Kenny had his front leg amputated after a badly neglected injury left the tissue too damaged to repair his leg. No further surgeries or complications from this leg amputation are expected and Kenny is an active and healthy young guy who will grow to be a good sized large breed dog! Kenny is seeking a home with a 6 foot fence because despite being a front leg amputee this boy has some serious "ups," when he is excited outside he can jump high enough to almost clear a shorter fence. Kenny's adoption fee is $300 and includes his neueter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives plus a free 4-week training class at Cedar Run #2. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets, and that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered and kept current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and a home visit. If you are interested in meeting Kenny, please fill out an adoption application on our website, adopthope.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am
