Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Dog-friendly Finnley is ready to meet you and your pup!  Finnley loves people and could easily fit into a home with another dog companion, we think he will not only enjoy the company but will more easily settle into a routine and daily life with a confident canine companion. Finnley loves to get outside for a good sniff and we can tell that he would love to go and explore, he would really enjoy having a yard of his own (his terrier brain would love this!)   Finnley loves to watch the outside and try to get birds, squirrels, rabbits, and vehicles. Finnley will require a securely fenced in yard because of his love of chasing things. Finnley is potty trained and does great when home without supervision. Finnley is a happy goofy guy with lots of energy, but he does still love a good cuddle and the chance to be a lap dog!  We are working on nips at our feet and sometimes the back of our legs. It would be best if he went into a home with older kids. Finnley is not a great match for cats unless your cat is very dog savvy.  Finnley came back into rescue after having had a medical emergency that his family was not equipped to care for.  It is believed he had exposure to a possible toxin that caused a severe anemic reaction that required hospitalization and ongoing steroids during recovery. Finnley has been monitored very closely while being tapered off of medication, he currently has no long term side effects or medication needs other than monthly prescription preventatives for heartworm and flea/tick.  He is recommended by the vet to have bi-annual bloodwork for the next 12 months and then just routine annual bloodwork as part of his wellness exams.  Finnley is a happy go lucky little guy, this was just an unfortunate setback that he managed well and recovered easily from with some TLC!   Finnley's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccines and monthly preventatives.  If you would like to meet Finnley, please submit an adoption application through our website, Adopthope.org.  Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered, as indoor pets only and kept current on annual vet visits, vaccines and preventatives.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 25, 2026, 2:59 pm

Story
Chewbarka is a calm, easygoing little gentleman who would much rather spend his day curled up beside you than causing any kind of chaos. With his short legs, fluffy long coat, and adorable floppy ears, he looks like a real-life stuffed animal and has the sweet personality to match. While he may be a bit reserved at first, once he feels safe and comfortable, Chewbarka quickly shows his affectionate side and turns into a total cuddle bug. This laid-back boy is happiest lounging on the couch, soaking up attention, and enjoying the quiet life. He would thrive in a calm home where he can settle in at his own pace and build trust with his new family. Chewbarka is the perfect companion for someone looking for a relaxed lap dog who enjoys companionship more than constant activity. One thing to know about Chewbarka is that he does not like things around his neck, especially slip leads, so patience and gentle handling will be important as he adjusts and learns new routines. A family willing to work with him compassionately and respect his boundaries will help him feel secure and confident. If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key companion with a soft coat and an even softer heart, Chewbarka may be your perfect match.
