Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi, I’m Duke! I am a charming, happy, Cattle Dog mix.  I love to go for walks  or runs  (and I am really good at it!). I also love car rides, stuffed animals, and playing in a fenced-in backyard. I am completely house trained,  crate trained ,  and am very intelligent. I know what sit, lay down , and stay mean, but I could use some more training to work on those commands and anything else you want to teach me.  I love to run and play; I have a whole lot of energy, but I also love to cuddle, give kisses and be loved by my human companion .  Basically, I just like to be doing what my people are.   I am very cautious of new people. I really prefer to come check you out first, and I really rather you don’t pet me until I know you will treat me with kindness.  I may  have to meet you a couple times before  I know I can trust you .   I can’t tell my friends at Last Hope what happened to me before I came to stay with them, but all they know is that it takes me a while to trust people and be comfortable in situations.  Because of this, I should not be in a home with young kids or teens.  My dream home would be with an adult family who is familiar with my kind of challenges and who has a physically fenced in yard. I also want 1 other playful dog around my size (50 pounds+) or bigger  to play with (I can play a little rough so they need to be tough like me) and a family who is very patient with me while I adjust to new people in my life.  I am a very loyal companion and I just want to please my humans!   Once I know I can trust you, I just want to be around you and will be your shadow as you go through your day.  I have also had my DNA tested! I am officially an Australian Cattle Dog/Harrier mix!    Last Hope requires that all pets be kept as indoor pets, be altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes reference and vet checks and a home visit. The adoption fee includes: spay/neuter, microchip and vaccinations.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 6:20 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bear is a very handsome blue heeler, looking for an experienced dog owner to have a GREAT life with! Bear is super smart, and he loves to play with other dogs around his size.

Bear does have stranger danger/reactive fears, he came to Last Hope very untrusting of people.  He has done great working with a firm and consistent handler, and will require this is his forever home but will likely always be initially reactive to strangers. Our volunteers have worked with him and found him to be a very friendly and affectionate dog, although he still requires slow and controlled introductions with strangers and will need an owner that appreciates his breed and unique needs.  No children, no cats and preferably a homeowner with a physical fenced in yard.  Bear's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, current vaccinations, and microchip.  last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, current on preventatives and vaccinations, and be altered.  Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and a home visit.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 6:20 pm

Story
Hi there, I'm, Harvey! I might be a puppy, but I’ve already mastered the art of loving big! I’m 7 months old, and my foster family says I’m adorable from head to tail—especially my ears! One look, and you’ll know exactly what they mean. My happy tail is always wagging, especially when I’m snuggling, playing, or just being near my people. Speaking of snuggles, I’m a pro. My favorite move? A full embrace hug where I wrap my paws around your neck. It’s my way of showing how much I care! When I’m not hugging, you’ll find me chewing on a bone (great for my puppy teeth), learning new things (I’m a quick study with sit, off, and wait), or shadowing my humans to see what they’re up to. I start my day with happy tail wags, kisses, and a quick potty break before breakfast and playtime. Afterward, it’s nap time—because even busy puppies like me need rest! Some days I even go to doggy daycare because I love playing with new friends! At night, I sleep soundly with some white noise and the comfort of knowing my people are nearby. I’ve been working on my confidence when I’m alone, and with a cozy blanket and calming sounds, I can self-soothe when I’m alone. I’m also crate-training for those moments when you’re away. I do well after a bit if I have something to keep me engaged, like a puzzle or a frozen Kong and calming music. I’m a social butterfly who loves dogs my size or bigger and understand their social cues like a champ! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure what I’d think of them. I warm up quickly to women and kids, and with men, I just need a little extra time to sniff and feel safe—then I’m all in for belly rubs and snuggles! My ideal furever home could include other canine friends, kids, or just adults who are ready to love me and help me grow. I’d thrive with a family that’s around often, as I love being with my people. At my young age, I’m soaking up everything like a sponge and can’t wait to learn all the things with you! If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with the sweetest snores, cutest ears, and a heart of gold, I’m your guy. Let’s make forever happen together! Harvey is fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and neutered. Our adoption process and application for this sweet boy can be submitted here: https://www.aplanimalrescue.org/adopt

Story
Cricket, the happy go lucky, goofy puppy we cannot get enough of! This handsome little dude gets along amazingly with EVERYONE, cats, dogs, kids, you name it! Though, he's occasionally a little shy with strangers, he warms up within a couple minutes with some treats, and extra lovin's! Other than Cricket's gentle, loving nature, his adorable looks, and silly ears, he's got THE cutest little wiggle butt! He wags his miniature little tail all around anytime you've got treats, talk to him like he's just a little baby (he is!), or give him all the belly rubs! He is one lucky pooch, too! His foster family taught him all the basics of family-doggy living, making him that PERFECT, well rounded puppy you've been looking for! & well, if you're not looking for the most perfect puppy on earth, then we suggest you keep on looking, as Cricket is by far, the best boy ever! We believe Cricket would do best in a moderately active home; for example, a family that enjoys hiking, playing catch in the yard, or even basic neighborhood strolls - or as your solo canine companion; he won't mind one bit!

Story
Meet the hambone of your dreams, Mister Angus! At roughly 3.5 months old, he's FULL of charm, love, cuddles, kisses, and absolute puppy goodness! Weighing in at a chunky 12 pounds, and standing less than a foot tall, he is somehow one of the best snuggle buddies ever. He adores being close to people, and is surely a velcro-dog at heart; and one of the most lovely puppies ever. Angus is a massive butt-wiggler, and will wiggle at just about anything that excites him. Treats? It's over. Baby talking? Are you kidding? It's end game! He suddenly just wiggles and does his very best to give you all the kisses you can imagine! This sweet little ham cannot get enough of tug as you can see, it's his all-time favorite, followed up by the best lap-snuggle session you could dream of!

Mister Highland, they really don't come anymore sweet than this little boy! I don't even need to mention just how adorable he is! Look at his face and those big brown eyes! He's quite the model, AND snuggle bug, as you can see! As adorable as he is, it only gets better; this guy is just about crate-trained, and working on his house-breaking! At about 2.5 months old, weighing in around 9 pounds, yeahhhh he's the chunkiest, hammiest, most lovable little cattle dog I've ever met!! Not to mention he's also almost got his basics down, and is such a gentle little baby! Pups like Highland, with his adorable looks, and puppy-dog kisses- We have NO doubts that Highland will make someone so extremely happy, as he will do well in just about any active home!

Story
The sweet, sweet girl, Martha. As darling as can genuinely be, gentle-natured, and even-tempered; Martha steals hearts, and lots of treats! As we get to know more and more about her, she couldn't be anymore perfect! Martha LOVES other dogs, KIDS, and even cats, if she's properly fulfilled - otherwise she will chase! Just about anything willing to give her some loving & or playtime, Martha loves right in return. She is as outgoing, playful, and happy as can be! At about a year old, Martha currently weighs in around 35 pounds; she's definitely on the smaller side of the Cattle dog family, making her that PERFECT size for just about any family! Plus, she adores showing off some of her awesome tricks, like her renowned puppy dog eyes for treats, her wonderful 'sit', and wiggles! She is a JOY to be around, let alone interact with. We cannot get enough of her. OH, and did I mention she LOVES tug?! Stuffy toys, attention, and DEFINITELY being your best friend!

Story
Tom Terrific! This little survivor is a rambunctious, friendly chow hound! Tom came to Iowa from a Texas shelter with his litter mates and is now a healthy guy with a gorgeous black brindle coat and sweet little white tips on some of his toes. Tom likes to play with the others, and also to 'announce' that it's time for breakfast! He likes to play, but likes some cuddle time, too. Adopters MUST agree to neuter at the appropriate stage. These puppies received monoclonal antibodies on December 24 for parvovirus that broke shortly after their arrival, but their happy spirits helped them to not only survive but to thrive. Because his is a young puppy, children should be supervised when interacting with happy, loving Tom.

These pups are in Cedar Rapids, Iowa too!
