Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet IceMan, one of the members of our "Top Gun" crew! While his brother Goose and father Maverick arrived first as strays, we soon welcomed Charlotte and IceMan into our care after learning their previous owner could no longer provide for them. IceMan is an 8-month-old American Bulldog and Cane Corso Italian Mastiff blend. Despite his somewhat rocky start, this resilient boy has shown nothing but grace, and is quickly blossoming into a magnificent young dog ready for his forever home. Because he is still young, IceMan is looking for a home that has the patience and commitment to help him continue the proper training every young puppy deserves. This includes mastering his house training, developing steady leash skills, and learning his basic manners. He has shown a peaceful attitude toward other dogs and seems to find comfort in having a canine companion to show him the ropes. If you have the time to invest in his growth and room in your heart for a loyal, big-hearted boy, IceMan will be ready to be your ultimate co-pilot soon. ** IceMan is up-to-date on vaccinations, but is awaiting his neuter surgery. This will take place within the next couple of weeks, so we are estimating him to be ready for adoption by 2/6/26. Please submit an online adoption application for IceMan if you're interested in setting up an appointment time to meet him.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 27, 2026, 6:13 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Maverick is a handsome boy who is officially ready to find his co-pilot for life! He arrived at the shelter as a local stray alongside his son, Goose. After making further connections with their previous owners, who were no longer able to provide for them, we learned that Maverick is the father of Goose - and also the father of Charlotte and IceMan who also recently joined the crew. These two both arrived thin, hungry, and in need of some coat conditioning, but Maverick has proven to be a resilient soul. After some much-needed TLC, he has blossomed into a healthy, happy boy whose coat is finally regaining its shine. He has moved past his days of wandering and is now looking for a soft place to land and a family to call his own. While we are still getting to know him, he hasn't shown negative behaviors toward other dogs, so we are excited to begin more formal introductions with other potential canine companions soon. We also plan to see how he feels about feline friends in the near future. If you are looking for a steady and sweet companion to join your crew, Maverick will soon be cleared for takeoff! Please submit an online adoption application for Maverick if you're interested in setting up an appointment time to meet him.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 29, 2026, 10:44 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Porkchop!! This handsome dude is around 7 years old, and 60 pounds of personality! Porkchop is seeking a super stable home, with an experienced dog owner.  He can be your couch potato partner if you bribe him with belly rubs, or your backyard companion helping to rid the yard of birds and squirrels (and tennis balls, too!).  Porkchop is super food motivated, so it was easy to train him to sit and we know he'll do great learning lots of other new commands.  He loves to be with his person, and can be somewhat standoffish with new people or situations.  Porkchop will need to be your only dog in the home, or possibly paired with a very docile and confident larger female dog.  Pushy or over friendly dogs don't mesh well with his personality.  No kids or cats for Porkchop, please! Porkchop can be  a vocal dog, he will talk and grumble at you to let you know what he's thinking - we think it’s pretty cute!  Porkchop's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations and preventatives PLUS a free basic obedience course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha.  Last Hope requires that potential adopters current animals be altered, current on vaccinations and preventatives and be kept as indoor pets only.  Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and a home visit.  Please submit an adoption application for consideration through our website.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 6, 2026, 2:39 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BB is a 50lb bundle of energy who's looking for the right home to help him shine. This affectionate pup is a fun-loving, loyal guy who is eager to learn and share adventures. BB is a fairly easy walker who enjoys exploring the park and splashing around in natural waters (pools just aren't really his thing). He would thrive with someone who's home more often than not - he's not a huge fan of being left in his kennel for long stretches. BB has lots of enthusiasm for life and would do best with the company of a playful dog companion, close to his size that is confident and calmer than he is. However, he would also do well as an only pet. When it comes to other animals, he is not a match with smaller dogs or cats. We aren't exactly sure what BB's breed mix is, our volunteers have speculated that he sort of looks and acts like an XL Boston Terrier! Pictures don't do this cutie justice, he really is adorable!  This boy is very food motivated and already knows "sit" and "shake." He loves to play ball and his own version of "catch me if you can," but he is also pretty good about giving up his toys when asked. He is still working on staying calm and keeping four paws on the ground, but with consistency and positive reinforcement, he'll make great progress. With that being said, he would not be a match for a home with young children. With the right outlet for his energy and plenty of love, BB will make a fun and loyal companion. BB's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives. Also included in the adoption fee is a free basic training 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 having kept their pets altered and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. If you are interested in meeting BB, please fill out an adoption application on our website adopthope.org. The 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.September 15, 2025, 2:04 pm

Story
Fall in love in February. For the entire month, all dogs and cats are only $14.00! So with an approved application, you can take your new Valentine home. Lola is a Boxer and Bulldog mixed doggy who is about 2.5 years old. Meet Lola—an extra-large bundle of love, laughter, and loyalty. At 100 pounds, she may be big, but her heart is even bigger. Lola is the perfect mix of devoted companion and playful goofball. One minute she’s right by your side soaking up attention, and the next she’s making you laugh with her silly personality. She has plenty of energy for walks, playtime, and adventures, but she’s also more than happy to relax and enjoy quality time with her people. She’s the kind of dog who wants to be part of everything you do and will quickly become your shadow. She is described as a 'Couch Potato'. Like the easy life? Then I’m the perfect match for you. I’m a relaxed, laid-back kind of dog who enjoys long naps, watching movies, curling up on laps, and walking very short distances from the couch to the food bowl and back. (Internally motivated). It is recommended that whenever you add a new animal to your household, it is done with a slow and monitored introduction.
