Story
🐾 **Meet Hercules – 70 Pounds of Goofy, Lovable German Shepherd Puppy!** ❤️ 📍 **Fostered near Waverly, Iowa (north of Waterloo)** Hercules is a gorgeous, happy-go-lucky German Shepherd puppy who is approximately **10–12 months old and 70 pounds of pure love!** This big, goofy boy hasn't quite figured out his size yet, but that doesn't stop him from thinking he's a lap dog! If there's room next to you (or on top of you), Hercules is ready to snuggle. ❤️ Hercules is an active, playful pup who loves everyone he meets! He's **fantastic with other dogs** and regularly visits the dog park, where he's a crowd favorite. He would absolutely love a home with another playful dog who can match his energy! 🐶 **A little more about Hercules:** - ❤️ **People lover!** Friendly, affectionate, and always ready for attention. - 🐕 **Dog friendly!** Loves playing with other dogs and would enjoy a canine playmate. - 🐱 **Cats:** Did well around cats at the vet's office, but slow introductions are recommended. - 🏡 **House-trained!** He's got his potty manners down! - 🦮 **Smart boy!** A quick learner with pretty good recall already. His foster is working on leash manners, and he's making great progress! - 👧 **Kids:** He's a friendly boy, but at 70 pounds with puppy enthusiasm, he could accidentally knock over toddlers or smaller children. - 🩺 **Fully vetted!** Neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative. Hercules is a wonderful young dog with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He's looking for a family who will enjoy his playful puppy energy, continue his training, and give him all the love and adventures he deserves. ❤️ **Looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion who will keep you laughing and steal your spot on the couch? Hercules might be your guy!** 🐾 **Apply to adopt Hercules today!**

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Front L Leg AmputatedMeet Kenny! He's a 3-legged wonder dog with terrific ears and a whole lot of love to share! Kenny does great with people of all ages and loves everyone he meets. He tends to match other dogs' energies so he would do best in a home with a calmer but playful dog near his size or he could easily live as an only dog. When it comes to meeting other dogs, he will require a proper, controlled introduction. He is not a great match for someone looking for a "dog park type" dog. He will need a home without cats/small animals.  Kenny is potty trained, crate trained, and knows many basic commands. Kenny had his front leg amputated after a badly neglected injury left the tissue too damaged to repair his leg. No further surgeries or complications from this leg amputation are expected and Kenny is an active and healthy yyoung guy! Kenny is seeking a home with a 5-6 foot fence because despite being a front leg amputee this boy has some serious "ups," when he is excited outside he can jump high enough to almost clear a shorter fence.  Kenny's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neueter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives plus a free 4-week training class at Cedar Run #2. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor only pets, and that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered and kept current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and a home visit. If you are interested in meeting Kenny, please fill out an adoption application on our website, adopthope.org.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 10, 2026, 3:40 pm
