My story

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

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

Special Needs: Deaf

Good with dogs: Yes, with proper intros
Good with cats: Yes, dog savvy
Good with kids: Yes
Crate trained: Yes
House Trained: Yes

Pepper Jack is a sweet, fun-loving dog who loves being outside exploring! He is very smart, eager to learn, and also gentle. He is trained to use hand signals, and already knows "sit" and "down". He would love a family who will throw the ball for him and another canine sibling or regular opportunities to socialize with other dogs.

Pepper Jack is good with dogs after a polite introduction to them. Once he meets a dog, he plays really well with them. He has ignored indoor cats and enjoys his visits with kids 5-17 so far. They all love him and the feeling is mutual!

Pepper Jack is fully house and crate trained. He sleeps soundly in his crate overnight and happily enjoys a tasty treat when he is crated during the day. As he is deaf, he may alert with a bark, but only when he needs to tell his human something. He would likely do well as a WFH companion as he’s calm at home and content to relax during the day after playtime or a walk. He also walks well on a leash.

Pepper Jack is a wonderful dog who deserves a loving family of his own. He will be missed greatly at his foster home and will make a fabulous companion!

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.
