Story
Hi, I’m Tango — an 8-year-old Goldendoodle with a golden heart, a goofy grin, and a deep passion for belly rubs, road trips, and balls (especially the squeaky kind). In September 2023, I suffered a spinal stroke that left my back legs paralyzed. My family loved me so much, but they knew I needed more care than they could give, so in April 2024, they entrusted me to the amazing team at APL and that’s when my comeback story really began. Since then, I’ve made incredible, unexpected progress. With regular rehab, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and lots of encouragement, I’ve gone from scooting to walking with help, and sometimes even on my own! I can cruise around with and without my custom wheels like a champ, especially if there’s a ball to chase or an adventure to be had. Speaking of adventures, I’m always ready to go. I love car rides, public outings, strolls through the park, and pretty much anywhere my people are headed. I’ll happily roll up to a brewery, hop into a café, or join you for a sunny patio lunch. I’m not picky, as long as I’m included. I also happen to be the world’s most enthusiastic ball-chaser. I may have some mobility challenges, but if there’s a ball in play, you better believe I’m going after it. I’ve got a mean fetch game and the determination like no other. People are my other favorite thing. I’m incredibly social, gentle, and friendly with everyone I meet (kids, adults, other dogs...) I’m just happy to be part of the fun. I don’t chew things I shouldn’t, and I’m always ready to cuddle. I do need a little help with potty time a few times a day, but I’ve even started doing that more on my own lately. The APL crew will show you the ropes, and it’s easier than you might think. I'm looking for a family that sees beyond my different abilities and appreciates my incredible spirit. A household that's patient, loving, and ready to welcome me, despite my need for a bit more care. I promise to reward you with boundless love and joy and be your best companion by stealing your heart from the moment you meet me. If you're looking for a loyal, loving sidekick with a story of resilience, a wag that never quits, and a suitcase packed for life’s next big adventure — I’m your guy. So, what do you say? Want to roll through life with me? Tango is up to date on vaccinations, 4DX tested, microchipped and neutered. He will come with all his cool gadgets so you can easily take him along on adventures. Applications to meet Tango can be submitted at: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/dogs

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Seizures, requires daily meds.True to her name, Moxie is a spunky, playful girl who brings a spark everywhere she goes! She is a picky eater at times but will gladly accept some "stinky" wet food or treats. She is pretty easy going when it comes to walking on a leash and going for car rides. She is mostly just excited to be with whoever will show her attention. She is friendly with all people and gets along with most dogs her size, however, she would not be a fit with small dogs, overly energetic pups, or cats. Moxie also loves to play, especially with balls and will even entertain herself with them. Moxie is currently on daily seizure medication and has done wonderfully on it, having no seizures while in our care. Therefore it is important that adopters keep her on this medication to give her a long and healthy life.  Moxie's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventives, plus a free basic training course at Cedar Run #2 in Hiawatha. Moxie is seeking a home as an indoor only pet. Last Hope requires that all adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered, kept current on vaccines and preventatives, and as indoor pets only. Our adoption process includes a background check, vet history check, and a home visit. If you would like to meet Moxie 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.October 13, 2025, 7:25 pm
