Story
Jake is just a little over 2 years old. He weighs around 50 lbs. He loves to run and play in the snow. Even at 50# he wants to be a lap dog and wants all the attention. I feel he could be a great hunting dog with the proper training. He chases squirrels up trees and will sit below or try to climb it to get the squirrel. He chases rabbits. He has been to puppy classes at Petsmart but I wasn't consistent in his training. He needs a strong hand as he does pull when on the leash. I've had his DNA tested which gave me 12 different breeds. Pit bull, Stafford terrier, Labrador, golden retriever, Australian shepherd, miniature American shepherd, German shepherd, beagle, American bull dog, Cocker spaniel and chow chow. He loves people and the attention. He gets excited to see them. He's an indoor dog and prefers to be with you. He's crate trained and has never had an accident in the house as he'll lead you to the door..

Story
Meet Zoey, the gentle girl with a heart of gold! Zoey may be shy at first, but beneath her cautious exterior lives a sweet and loving dog! She is searching for an adoptive home who can offer the patience and kindness this sweet girl deserves. We've seen her with another dog, and did well. In fact, we think another dog in her future home will help her with confidence and understanding life isn't too bad after all! Good news is, treats are a big hit with Zoey. With that said, it's been an encouraging factor when helping her to come around with new people and situations here @ CVHS. If you'd like to share the love with this sweet girl, we would love to introduce her to you on site at the shelter today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, my name is Kaia, and I came all the way from California.  While the west coast has all the sunshine,  I wanted to see how the mid-west farmers daughters lived.  All the dog volunteers at Last Hope say I am the sweetest little girl, I love to snuggle, and give tons of kisses.  I love to ride in the car and go for walks and I am super good at both! I am a very strong girl and need someone equally as strong.  I am a princess and love all the attention so I will need to be the only pet in the house.  I also need a home that has a privacy fence in case the neighbors have pets.  So if you always wished they all could be  California girls and wanted one of your own, then I am your girl.....  Kaia’s adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, micro chip and current vaccinations. Last Hope requires that all of our animals be kept on year round heart worm preventative and as indoor dogs only. Our adoption process includes a background check, personal and vet reference checks as well as a home visit. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 7:53 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Looking for a dog with a winning personality? Luckily you've found Oscar! He's a very social dog who would do best in a home where he can spend quality time with his people and at least one other accepting medium - large dog. Oscar enjoys a short daily walk and lots of plush and chew toys. He is a bit of a juggernaut who doesn't know it, and he greets everyone he meets with love and a wagging tail. He's fully house trained and nondestructive when home with his foster's other dogs unkenneled. People in the home should be teens and older due to his slightly oblivious nature and high food drive. Oscar does have some mild allergies, he' well managed with diet and seasonal allergy medication but may occasionally have some flare ups. Oscar's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives plus a free basic obedience class at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, be altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. We look for adopters with current and/or former pets to have a demonstrated history of this. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet history check and a home visit. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 22, 2024, 7:53 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Friendly and outgoing lady Daisy B is searching for a forever home, her dream home would have a woman and children in the family as this seems to be what she gravitates most towards when we introduce her to new people! We think Daisy is a "momma dog" at heart!  We've learned that Daisy is an escape artist, she can jump a shorter fence so would be best suited to a home with a secure fence. We don't think she intends to run away, we think she just wants to be wherever you are! She can also be dog selective, so might be best suited as the only dog in the home. She has so much love to share with her people, and it's clear she will fill your home with love and laughter.  Don't pass this goofy girl up! She loves to go for walks, and although she can be strong on the leash at first she does settle in quickly.   Daisy's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spy, microchip, current vaccinations/preventatives and free basic obedience course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, be altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. We look for potential adopters who have current/former pets to have a demonstrated history of this. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet history check and a home visit. Please submit an application for consideration through our website, www.
