My name is King James!

King James, or KJ as we call him, has lived an awful lot of life for being just a 7 year old dog! He has experienced cruelty at the hands of humans when he was originally brought into rescue around 2020.  He had suffered a gun shot wound to the face that required surgery to remove bullet fragments, he made a full recovery and went on to find a home. Unfortunately, KJ was returned when his family dynamic changed and he again found himself alone.

KJ is a terrific medium energy dog, he will greet you with a toothy grin showing off his megawatt smile!  KJ will enjoy being a man of routine in a quieter home, he is friendly with people but can be a little slow to warm up to strangers which is understandable given his history. However, once he befriends you, he will happily be your goofy, loving companion, enjoying all the car rides and walks. 

KJ is not a fit with cats. He has done especially well with other medium sized female dogs and should be fine with easy going males around his size.  He has not been introduced to small dogs or children yet. Given that he is a little wary of new people, we feel that older children will be the best match for him.

King James' adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives PLUS a free 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.  Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and a home visit.  If you have animals in the home already, we will also conduct meet and greets to ensure it is a match.  Please submit an adoption application for consideration at Adopthope.org.
