Story
Roxy is a loving, happy, sweet 5 year old girl. She loves to play, go for car rides, jump in a lake or pool for a swim, or go for walks (she's a loyal girl who stays close even when she is off her leash). She loves treats, and though she's playful and curious, she also loves to sleep. She loves to cuddle other animals or people but sleeps great independently as well. She's spayed, house trained, and knows all the basic commands. She loves everyone and everything she meets. She adapts easily to any situation and is an easy going, smart, loving girl.❤️She was given to our family about a year ago by a man entering a nursing home that didn't allow their residents to have pets. Now my family is losing our home due to foreclosure. It breaks my heart that I thought I could give her a forever home. I never would have brought her in if I knew what the future held for us. She deserves so much better than what she's already had to go though. She's the sweetest girl and so full of love.

Story
Pepper will be 2 years old in December. She is a very smart, loving girl who enjoys being outside just as much as she loves curling up for cuddles. She is kennel trained, lets you know when she needs to go outside, is spayed, and is up to date on all of her vaccinations.She is great with kids, but I think she would do best in a home with older children who can match her energy and understand her boundaries. She would thrive with someone who has the time to continue giving her the love, attention, exercise, and structure she deserves. This decision has been one of the hardest I’ve ever had to make, and I will not be rehoming her to just anyone. My priority is finding a safe, loving, forever home where she’ll be treated like family.If you or someone you know feels they could give Pepper the life she deserves, please send me a message. I’d love to answer any questions and make sure she’s the right fit

Story
9 year old female Black Lab Mix named Willow we are looking to rehome. I have had her since she was 8 weeks old and she has been loved all of her life. Unfortunately, with our growing family we are having a hard time finding time for her and want her to have the best life for her remaining years. We have a 2 year old daughter and a new born boy now. She hasn't been a issue around either but she does like her space. Our 2 year has a hard time giving her the space she wants and I fear she may end up biting her. I don't believe she ever would, but she has shown signs that she is uncomfortable. Willow is microchipped and has had all vaccines up until this last year. She gets simparica trio each month and has never had any health issues other than an eye infection that was resolved when she was around 3.

Story
Jeffrey has been with us for a little while now, so he can be a bit nervous around new people—but don’t let that stop you from getting to know him. Once he warms up, he reveals his true personality: a sweet, playful pup with a heart full of love. Tennis balls are his absolute favorite, and he never says no to a good chew toy or a game of fetch. He also loves spending time outside, exploring the yard and soaking up the sunshine. Jeffrey is still polishing up his manners, but he’s a quick learner who just wants to make his people proud. With a little patience and consistency, he’ll thrive in a home where he feels safe and loved. He’s neutered, up to date on his vaccines, heartworm tested, and microchipped for his safety. If you’re someone who can offer him the time and trust he needs, Jeffrey will reward you with loyalty, affection, and lots of tail wags.

Story
This sweet girl recently joined us from another shelter and is still getting settled into her new surroundings. She is very affectionate and loves people, but she also has a wonderfully wild side! She can be quite hyper and is still learning her manners and how to navigate all the excitement of shelter life. She hasn’t shown much interest in toys just yet, but that may change as she becomes more comfortable. For now, she is taking some time to adjust to her new environment and figure things out at her own pace. She is a loving girl who will benefit from patience, consistency, and continued guidance. With some time to decompress and learn, we think there is a lot to love about this sweet pup!

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. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am
