Gibson

Australian Shepherd Husky

Male, Adult

Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Gibson is the black one, and Ozzy is the grey merle. Gibson has husky in his mix, he's got the year-round undercoat but more importantly the husky friendliness and playfulness. He's quiet, unlike a husky, and rarely barks. Ozzy is a velcro aussie, and he's a talker when he's wound up. The kong tennis ball bone is Ozzy's most favoritest toy ever. Both are between 9-10 years old, and ~70 lbs. Both are great with all ages, and domestic pets (have had direct experience with cats and bunnies). They are both shepherds at heart, and they stay in their home yard/area without needing to be watched. They're both protective of their family, but not aggressive or hostile at it. Both are extremely playful and love to rough house, and technically play fetch, though both like to hold onto the toy and tease each other into playing tug of war, so getting the toy back isn't always easy.

Winston will be 1 year old in Oct 2027. We purchased him at a breeder in Illinois. Looking to rehome to a loving family that has the time and experience to care for a super energetic pup. Winston is super energetic and still has a lot of puppy energy in him. He loves to run around in the yard and loves attention. Not a fan of cats.

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Bella is a very sweet and loving 5 year old dog. She has lots of energy but understands “no” and “down”. She does “sit” somewhat “lay down” and “come”. She is a super chewer and WILL destroy stuffed/padded toys and beds. She does really like plain blankets though. She likes collagen chews and enjoys puppy puzzles for treats and snuffle mats. Does well on a leash, pulls slightly but not bad. She does jump 4ft fences so would need either an acreage with invisible fence or at least a 6ft privacy fences. Although it is unknown if she can jump that height of fence. She loves to make friends with other dogs, is good with cats, but our cat frightens her slightly. Fantastic with kids, women, men. Hates thunderstorms.

Trigger

Boxer

Male, Adult

Cedar Rapids, IA

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Trigger is such a sweet boy. My sister was his owner and she passed away about a year ago. As a family, we thought we could care for him, but we are unable to meet his needs. He is currently living with my mom who is 77 and unable to walk him. My sister got him from a shelter when he was about two years old and he is between 8 and 9.For some reason, he does not like to go up or down stairs inside of a home. A slab or ranch style home would be best. He has no problem claiming stairs at parks or outdoor areas, so we believe something bad happened to him when he was young that makes him avoid indoor stairs. Trigger would do best in a home without other pets. He has lived with other pets, but he is most happy as an only pet. He needs to be walked every day and a fenced in yard would be best. As he has gotten older, he responds better to the pet food that supports senior dogs for easier digestion. He is playful and loving. He loves to cuddle! We love him, just need better for him!

Kenny

Pit Bull Terrier

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

Details

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

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
