While she was fostering other dogs, Maely the beagle (formerly Babes) needed a soft place to land, so they asked Heather if she could foster her. She already had a beagle at home and loves the breed, so she agreed to foster her. That was the plan anyway. When Heather saw Maely, it was instant love, and she knew she had found her new home as long as she would fit in with the other furbabies in the house.

This all happened a couple of months after the derecho, and Maely found a weak spot in the temporary fencing and decided to go on an adventure! She was found, and the fence was fixed, but she proved to be quite the escape artist. She slipped out of every harness they tried, including the supposed “no escape” harnesses. After some trial and error, a solution was found, and it is safe to take her on walks.

After a while, Maely settled in well with the other animals in the house, and the transition was pretty smooth. She attended a training class at Cedar Run, so she learned some basic skills. She still looks for ways to escape, but Heather is wise to her ways!

Maely has a sweet, easy-going temperament and is always up for whatever Heather wants to do. Leisure time? Great! Walk? I’m in! Car ride? Let’s go! She is a cuddler and comes running when Heather gets home and promptly rolls over for belly rubs.

She likes to keep watch over her domain, either on the ottoman looking out the window or on the back patio to get some sun. Her favorite pastimes are taking walks, going for car rides, and going on “sniffaris” at the dog park. And, of course, who can resist a fun trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s? All those fun things lead to snoozing, preferably on or under some soft blankets.

At Last Hope, we affectionately call someone like Heather a “foster failure” because she just couldn’t let Maely go to any other home. We have great foster homes, like Heather’s, and are thankful for her dedication to the pets of Last Hope.

Peggy Lee is a lovely older kitty with a soft cream-colored coat and an even softer heart. Though she can be a bit shy when meeting new people, she warms up quickly once she realizes you’re there to offer kindness… and maybe a cozy spot on the couch. Peggy Lee enjoys affection on her terms. She is all about gentle pets and quiet companionship, but she’s not one for being picked up and held. Give her a comfy blanket and a calm home, and she’ll happily settle in as your loyal lap cat. She’d love nothing more than to curl up next to you while you watch TV, read, or simply unwind after a long day. If you’re looking for a sweet companion who will reward your patience with purrs and peaceful company, Peggy Lee might just be the purrfect match. 

Peggy Lee’s adoption fee is $85 and includes spay surgery, being up to date on vaccinations, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

If you want to meet this absolute beauty, please complete an adoption application HERE.

Rommy & Sophia are a bonded pair of pups looking for a home together. Rommy is the golden boy, around 10 years old. Sophia is the white and brown gal and is estimated to be around 7-8 years old. Together, they bring out the best in each other! They love each other’s company, and you can often find them lounging around and sleeping together. Sophia tends to be on the shy side, but Rommy has helped her to become braver.

Rommy is full of love and has a mission to be your shadow. He’s the definition of a “Velcro dog” –  where you go, Rommy will be right behind you, ready to offer moral support during every family meeting, snack run, or Netflix binge.  This little gentleman has a partially collapsed trachea, which just means walks are better suited with a harness instead of a collar. He is currently working on house training and lives in a foster home where a doggie door is used. While progress has been made, he’s a short guy, and the struggle to get through the dog door is real, so he’d just prefer that you open the door for him to preserve his dignity.  

Sophia is more timid, but with some time, she will warm up to you. She would prefer to have a safe space to go whenever she’s feeling overwhelmed. A crate or space under a piece of furniture will do; she isn’t too picky! She enjoys being outside in the yard, doesn’t mind the rain, and is mostly house-trained. She will use pee pads in the house if they are available to her. She gets very excited for food, so you’ll have to be careful not to overfeed her because she has a tendency toward love handles (that are honestly adorable). 

Their adoption fee is $450 and includes spay/neuter surgery, being up to date on vaccinations, microchips with free lifetime registration, and a free basic training class at Cedar Run Company.

If you’d like to provide a nice home for this great twosome, please complete an adoption application HERE.

Siren is a young adult cat that came to us unafraid to use his voice. Unsure about living inside and the new world he was entering, Siren spent his first week letting everyone know he was here. He is a sassy dude with a lot of curiosity about his new environment. Even while eating, you could hear his little growls and groans between each bite. After some time to settle in, he soon quieted down and found some other young feline friends to play with at the adoption center. However, we do still catch him making those funny noises while eating, especially when it comes to wet food! Siren loves to play with toys and run around. He can sometimes struggle with sharing space with other outgoing cats, so he could be your one and only kitty and keep you laughing and smiling with his antics!  Even though he is a rambunctious little guy, he will still find the time to come and beg for love and attention. Siren is a sweet, funny boy looking for a forever family.

Siren’s adoption fee is $85 and includes neuter surgery, being up to date on vaccinations, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

Meet Furrguson, a handsome, laid-back gentleman who’s about 3 years old and full of love to give. This friendly guy is the definition of chill – he’s easygoing, gentle, and happiest when he’s soaking up affection. If you’re looking for a loyal lap cat who will gladly keep you company during quiet evenings, Furrguson is your guy. Furrguson is both FeLV and FIV positive, which means he will need to be the only cat in your home. Cats with these viruses may experience a shorter lifespan than other cats, but can still live happy, loving lives. He would benefit greatly from regular vet care, a well-balanced diet, and a safe indoor environment away from stress. In return, he will give you all his companionship, loyalty, and sweetness. Furrguson came into rescue with what our vet believes is a healed front leg injury that may have been a broken bone at some point. But don’t worry, this doesn’t affect him. He gets around just fine and doesn’t let it slow him down. He is simply a mellow soul with a gentle spirit, ready to curl up next to you or settle into your lap for pets and attention.

Furrguson’s adoption fee is $85 and includes neuter surgery, being up to date on vaccinations, and a microchip with free lifetime registration.

If this loving dude appeals to you, please complete an adoption application HERE.

Ricky is a gentle and sweet boy who is still learning to trust new people. He may take a little time to warm up to you, but once he does, he’ll be your loyal companion for life. Ricky thrives in a calm and patient environment where he can feel safe and secure. He’s not the type to rush into new situations, but with some patience and love, he’ll show you just how affectionate and playful he can be.  

Ricky gets along well with other dogs and enjoys having a canine companion to play with. He would do well in a home with another dog or with a family who is experienced in working with shy, sensitive dogs. He does need a home with no children or cats at this time. Ricky is very playful and loves to play with toys and chew on bones. Ricky will require a secure fence above 4 feet. If you’re looking for a sweet and gentle dog who just needs a little extra time to trust, Ricky could be the perfect fit for you. He’s waiting for a home where he can blossom and show his true, loving nature. Could you be the patient and understanding adopter Ricky needs? He’s about four years old.

Ricky’s adoption fee is $250 and includes neuter surgery, being up to date on vaccinations and preventives, a microchip with free lifetime registration, and a free basic training class at Cedar Run Company.
