Max is a 2 year old that we adopted from the shelter. He is a lab mix. Not sure exactly. Very sweet and playful boy. He has always lived with 2 other dogs so would probably do best with someone who already has a dog.

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
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
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.

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

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Introducing Greta! Greta is a Labrador/Pyrenees mix who is around 4-5 years old. Greta is a big girl weighing in around 80 pounds, but don't let her size fool you because she is the biggest love bug and enjoys pets and attention from people she trusts! Greta really enjoys playing with other large (male) dogs and we would love to place her with a confident and playful companion that she can grow and learn from! However, she does not seem to enjoy the company of smaller dogs and she can be very selective with other female dogs.  Greta also enjoys spending time and getting attention from her care takers, so be prepared to have a couch companion of your own! Greta has been cat tested and is rather timid of feline friends so a dog savvy cat or no cats would be best for her.  She would also do best in a home with no children as she can be nervous at times and their unexpected movements may scare her. Greta is still learning about the wide world around her, but she is an eager "student" and happy to learn!   If you would like to meet Greta and think she would made a great addition to your home, be sure to fill out an adoption application on our website, adopthope.org.  Greta's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, and current vaccinations and prevention. Also included is a free basic obedience training course at Cedar Run in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of keeping their pets altered and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. If you are interested in meeting Greta, please fill out an adoption application for consideration. The adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and home ownership check.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am
