My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Adoptable in: MA, RI, NH, CT, and VT

Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Unknown, likely yes
Good with kids: Yes
Crate trained: Mostly
House Trained: Yes

Bocephus is super sweet, respectful and at first appears timid. Don’t let that fool you! He is very intelligent and assesses everything and everyone. He is gentle, attentive, affectionate, and obedient..

Bocephus has several dog friends of all sizes and breeds. He spends a lot of his free roam making stops to say hello to friends. He adjusts to the level of energy each has when playing. He is gentle when it is a small dog, but will rough house with a bigger dog if that is the choice of play.

Bocephus has met and been around kids. He is great with them, but would probably do best with slightly older kids since he could accidentally knock over little ones.

Bocephus can be vocal when crated and left alone. He does best when he can see his person. He is house trained and is learning to walk on a leash.

Please Note: All dogs currently available for adoption are posted on our website. If you cannot find a particular dog on our website, he/she may be on a temporary foster hold. All dogs are otherwise posted until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application.

More about this rescue

Our mission at Last Hope K9 Rescue is to save every possible dog we can from being euthanized within high-volume kill shelters throughout the U.S.

As the literal “last hope” of nearly every animal we serve, we work tirelessly to place each one within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home, or the gateway to their forever home. We also strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved, including our dogs. This leads to our second goal: enriching human lives through canine companionship. To us, you can’t have one without the other.

Lastly, we promote animal welfare by lobbying important initiatives that both protect and give voice to the voiceless. By fostering an environment of collaboration with other organizations that share our goals, and working together instead of in competition, we find that we accomplish more.
