Story
Hey, everyone! Meet Peter Pan, the coolest pup around! This guy has been on quite the journey, starting off in a shelter and ending up as teachers pet in his training! Peter Pan might come off a bit tough at first, but once you get to know him, he's all about the love and cuddles. He's even got the commands down pat: sit, stay, come, and leash walking – he's a pro! If you're an adventure seeker, Peter Pan is your perfect match! He's always up for exploring new places, so a fenced yard is a must-have for this adventurous boy. Are you the type of person who likes building your bond through training and games? This boy is obsessed with balls! Did we mention Peter Pan's training comes with touchup training? His trainer is eager to see both of you to help you continue Peter's ongoing journey! Looking for a furry friend who's great with other pups? Peter Pan is your guy! But kiddos under 16 might not be his jam, so a home with older kids is ideal. As for cats, well, let's just say Peter Pan's curiosity might get the best of him, so a cat-free zone is probably best. Sound like the perfect match for you? Head over to lastdaydogs.com to fill out an application and make Peter Pan a part of your happily ever after! #RescueDog #AdoptDontShopApril 26, 2025, 5:24 pm

Story
Meet Louie, our incredible 6-year-old blind pup, lovingly named after Louis Braille, the inventor of the braille system for the blind. Despite his handicap, he’s a happy-go-lucky, confident, and resilient little dude who has genuinely brought so much love and laughter into our home. His presence has been a beautiful reminder of the joy, strength, and adaptability dogs are capable of. Louie weighs about 35 lbs and is packed with personality. He loves chewing on large antlers, snuggling up with his people, taking stroller rides, going on walks, and soaking in the sunshine. He has quickly mastered the layout of his foster home, confidently navigates with the help of his senses, and never lets his blindness hold him back. He's also crate trained, completely housebroken, and walks beautifully on his lead. To help ease his transition, Louie will come with a harness, leash, collar, dog halo for added mobility confidence, sensory-stimulating toys, clothes, and some of his favorite accessories. He will also require a yearly routine eye check-up to monitor his eye health and overall comfort. Louie would do best in a calm, structured home with no children under 10 and no other dogs. While he’s done wonderfully with both dogs (including his two foster siblings) and children during introductions, he can be easily startled and would thrive in a more predictable environment. If you’re looking for a loving, resilient companion with a heart as big as his spirit, Louie is ready to bring his sunshine into your life.

Story
Let me introduce you to Minerva — She is one of the most sassy, cute, energetic, loving puppy that I have ever seen.  She’s food and treat motivated, she knows how to sit and shake, and we’re working on laying down…  She gets very excited when someone comes home or comes into the room. she loves to snuggle and definitely loves her belly rubs.  She gets along wonderfully with my other two dogs. They play and wrestle all the time. She likes cats and wants to play with them - I’m just not sure my cat wants to play with her.  I have a fenced in backyard and she loves to run run run run all the time. She’s about 90% potty train, she will go to the door when she has to go out. But still has a few accidents here and there. She is crated when no one is home, just like my other two dogs, she doesn’t love it in there, but if you pick her up and put her in, she goes in - without a fight.  She will bark when she’s first in there. But I have stood outside the door and she stopped quickly. If you are interested in adopting Minerva, please complete an adoption application at lastdaydogs.comJune 20, 2025, 9:49 pm

Story
Meet Deacon, he is a lab mix with a great personality… uh, dog-anality. Deacon is a neutered male coming in at about 45lbs of pure love. He is just a chill guy with a splash of zoomies! Deacon can jump for the sky and loves a good run in the yard, so a 5 ft fenced in yard is a must for this boy.  If you want to see pure joy, watch him when he is playing with toys, particularly squeaky toys (which is his absolute FAVORITE). Deacon is going to do best if he is the only animal or in a home with a low-energy, passive spayed female dog that is open to welcoming a new pup into their home. He is very fond of his lady friends  Deacon is also cat friendly! He may chase cats, but all in all he just wants to show his love with a little play.  Deacon was bounced around a bit before he went to his foster home so he’s learning to love and trust again. Due to that he can be slow to warm up, but once you are his person - he desires nothing more than to be by your side as your furry companion… and have squeaky toys. Don’t forget the squeaky toys! Deacon is house trained, crate trained and leash trained. He has completed training with multiple trainers learning new things & preparing him for his new home. Deacon is still figuring out the world and will need someone who will be patient and give him some extra TLC… he can't just be thrown into new situations and expect to thrive. He is getting better & continuing to learn more everyday.  Note: The training he received comes with lifetime training touch ups (adoption location dependent). Once he has settled in, the trainer will provide you with training sessions to help acclimate him to his new home, they also provide group training sessions most Saturdays at local parks.  If you think Deacon would make a good addition to your family, fill out an application at lastdaydogs.com  June 20, 2025, 9:11 am

Hi! My name is Buddy. I'm a sweet, goofy boy who loves to roll around on the floor or sit in your lap. I've been working on my manners, particularly jumping. I just get so excited! I LOVE people. I haven't met one yet who I don't buddy up to (yes, that pun was intentional). I'm great around older kids but I may be a bit too "extra" around littles. I'm friendly around other dogs. I may get noisy, but I am all bark and never bite! Sometimes my dog brother annoys me because he always wants to play, and I'm more of a chill guy. I also would like to have the people all to myself without him butting in. I know basic commands and am about to graduate beginner training from Petsmart. We've also worked with a trainer some at home. I love walks and cuddles. I would live nothing more than to be glued to someone's side. Can I be your Buddy?
