Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Echo is a 2-year old, 44 lb bundle of sweetness, silliness & personality. She’s spayed, up to date with her shots, and ready to find a home that will love her playful spirit & help her continue to grow. Echo is equal parts affectionate companion & goofy entertainer. She’ll keep you smiling with her little antics-like proudly ‘borrowing’ a sneaker from the front door & carrying it into the living room like she’s just won a prize (don’t worry she’s more about the fun than the destruction if you catch her in time!). She’s currently in foster with two resident dogs who are older, and while kind & tolerant, are not quite able to keep up with her youthful energy & antics. What makes her special: - Crate trained & sleeps through the night - Potty trained & will signal when she’s ready to go out - Finds comfort in her crate for naps & downtime - Food motivated (she loves treats, which makes training fun & effective) - Can entertain herself with Kongs & durable chews - Sweet, affectionate, and enjoys being close to her people - Loves relaxing outdoors-especially perched on outdoor furniture like she owns it What’s she’s still working on: - Pulls on leash and would benefit from continued leash training - Gets excited & may jump up when greeting you - Still learning not to counter surf - Not gentle with soft toys-she prefers the tough stuff  Echo is a smart, loving dog who thrives with a bit of structure & consistency. She’s already got a great foundation & with continued guidance will make an incredible loyal & fun companion. Her ideal home: Someone who will embrace her playful nature, committed to helping her continued learning and give her guidance & affection. She’ll do best with someone patient, engaged & ready for a dog with personality.   If you are interested in Echo, please complete an adoption application at lastdaydogs.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2026, 11:59 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Deacon, he is a mixed breed dog with a great personality… uh, dog-anality. Deacon is a neutered male coming in at about 45 lbs of pure love. He's just a chill guy with a splash of zoomies! Deacon's resume is spectacular. He has the work experience, the passion, and the love. I mean, how can you turn down a boy this good? - House trained - Crate trained - Leash trained  - Has worked with multiple trainers - A true lover boy: The perfect partner and good with kids - A squeaky toy enthusiast: Deacon takes pride in his squeaky toys. No squeak too big, no squeak to small. Squeaky toys, he loves them all! 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. Pretty sweet deal, right?! Deacon was bounced around a bit so he’s learned 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. Deacon is just a boy navigating this real world, overcoming everyday challenges. - Deacon will thrive in an only dog household - Loves cats: He enjoys a little Tom & Jerry like playtime - A fenced yard will allow Deacon to truly unleash his Olympic gold medal jumps - Needs someone who is patient, allowing him slow introductions with new people, places, and things If you think Deacon would make a good addition to your family, fill out an application at lastdaydogs.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2026, 11:59 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.    Meet Letterman Larry  Hi, I’m Larry—a 73 lb puppy with a big heart and so much love to give. I didn’t have the easiest start and found myself in a loud, scary shelter at a young age. I am in foster care now but I’m ready to find a forever family of my own. I’m still just a baby learning how to be my best self! I’m smart, eager, and already know sit, shake, and wait. I’m very treat-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding—I’m even working on my leash manners and improving every day. I also ride nicely in the car and do well in a crate, settling in nicely when given a safe space. I’d thrive in an active home or one with a yard where I can play, learn, and grow. Once I trust you, I am incredibly loyal and loving—I just need a little patience to feel safe and show you my full personality. A few things about me: Best suited in a home with no dogs or calm, submissive dogs and slow introductions Smart, trainable, and eager to please Currently learning leash skills Great car rider Loves toys and can entertain myself Comfortable in a crate and potty trained The important stuff: Neutered male - Up to date on vaccines - No known health issues - Available through ‘Tails of the Unwanted’ rescue. I may have had a rough start, but I’m ready for my happy ending. With a little patience and a lot of love, I promise to be the most loyal companion you could ask for. Will you be the one to give me my forever home? ❤️   If you are interested in Larry, please complete an adoption application at lastdaydogs.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2026, 11:59 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet “Madi,” a beautiful dog who is looking for a family to call her own! After suffering a terrible injury last year, Madi bravely underwent a leg amputation. She has adapted beautifully as a tripod and doesn’t let it slow her down!  She enjoys going for walks and loves going for rides in the car. She likes toys and will happily entertain herself with them before curling up on a comfy bed or a cozy lap for a nap. While she has so much love to give, she will need a patient and understanding family who can help her continue building confidence. New environments and unfamiliar situations can make her nervous, and she is sometimes reactive when seeing people through a barrier like a window or gate. She would be happiest in a calm home without young children. Because she is uneasy around other animals, she would do best as the only dog in the home, where she can feel safe and secure without added stress. Madi is not a fan of cats and should be in a cat-free home. If you are interested in Madi, please complete an adoption application at lastdaydogs.comVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2026, 11:59 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Oggie! Applicant: Oggie Age: 2 years young Build: Big, athletic & professionally clumsy Special Skills: Master toy dissector, professional car-ride enthusiast & Olympic-level cuddler! Oggie is a big, goofy Shepherd/Boxer/Lab mix who earned his name because, well… he’s a little bit of an ogre! But don’t let his size fool you—inside this big body is pure honey-colored sweetness. Oggie is the ultimate leaner . He’ll glue his big body to your legs for chest scratches, then happily plop down for belly rubs. He loves his people, loves attention, and would happily spend his days as your oversized shadow. And this handsome guy is already a certified good boy! Oggie is fully house- and crate-trained and knows his basic commands, including sit, shake, down and crate . He’s also a huge fan of car rides and can turn just about any toy into a fun dissection project! Oggie is a social butterfly and loves other dogs . If he spots a potential dog friend, though, his recall can mysteriously disappear! He can also get a little mouthy when he’s excited , so because he is a strong, enthusiastic boy who sometimes forgets just how big he is, he needs an experienced big-dog adopter who can provide confident leadership and continue working with him on his manners and training. Oggie would do best with older, dog-savvy kids who are comfortable around large dogs. A resident dog who enjoys having a big, goofy playmate would be a wonderful bonus! If you’re ready for a gentle giant who will fill your life with love, laughs, heavy leans, goofy antics and endless cuddles , Oggie is ready to meet you. Just bring the chest and belly scratches! ❤️ Oggie is looking for his forever adopter! Interested in making Oggie part of your family? Please complete an adoption application online at LastDayDogs.com ⁠. Once your application is submitted, the rescue team will review it and follow up with you regarding next steps. ❤️ Apply today and give this big lovable goofball the forever home he deserves!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2026, 11:59 am
