She will pogo jump in front of you but never jumps on people and has never bit anyone. She loves cuddling with people and dogs, wants to play with willing cats but knows when to back off, and has learned how to be gentle with small children. She’s a great dog, rehoming due to relocating.

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. Bella is a very smart dog and very loving. Loves to give kisses! 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. Due to an increase in aggressive dogs in our immediate neighborhood and life becoming more busy for us, we need to find a better fitting home for her.

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

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.
