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 and has already learned how to sit. Given his young age, his adopters will enjoy his FREE training class at Cedar Run Company #2 in Hiawatha that is included with his adoption fee. Kenny is such a smart pup, he's sure to be a star pupil! 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 young guy who will grow to be a good sized large breed dog! Kenny is seeking a home with a 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 $300 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.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Front leg amputation, FHOSay hello to Homer, our three-legged wonder with a spirit that’s anything but broken. At 2.5 years old, this extra-large sweetheart came into rescue after a serious injury left one of his front legs beyond saving and his hips in need of surgical intervention as well. But don’t let the missing leg fool you—Homer has adapted like a champ and gets around just fine, with that same big heart and loyal nature pit bulls are known for. Homer is a laid-back lovebug who enjoys hanging out with his people, sunbathing in the yard, and soaking up gentle affection. He’s friendly with other dogs, especially those who can provide  a calm vibe for him to match - no rough-and-tumble play styles for this guy, just chill companionship and good company. He’d do best with a respectful, easygoing dog friend or as your one-and-only snuggle buddy. He's great with older kids (ages 5+) who can understand his physical boundaries and help him navigate the world with care. But cats? Not Homer's jam, so a feline-free home is a must. Despite everything he’s been through, Homer has held onto his soft, sweet soul. All he’s missing now is a forever family to love him for the incredible dog he is—three legs and all. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with the soul of a survivor and a whole lot of love to give, Homer might just be your hero. Homer’s adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccines and preventatives plus a free basic training course at Cedar Run Company #2 in Hiawatha. Homer is seeking a home as an indoor pet only, Last Hope requires that you have a history of having kept any previous pets altered, kept current on vaccines and preventatives and as indoor pets only. If you would like to meet Homer, please submit an adoption application at Adopthope.org Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 9, 2026, 11:31 am
