Story
This adorable little guy is Nicky, a charming 10-year-old Chihuahua and Terrier mix weighing just 14 pounds. Due to his mom’s health issues, Nicky found himself needing a new home, and we were contacted by her caring nurses to help him find safety and love. Nicky is a delightful companion who enjoys playing with toys and will happily fetch when he’s in the mood. He really likes to give the stuffies a good shake. Nicky would thrive in a home with a dog buddy his size to share adventures with. He would love a family where someone is home most of the time to keep him company. Nicky is already house-trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccinations. He has been heartworm tested and microchipped, and he just had a dental cleaning, so he’s ready for his next chapter! If you’re interested in welcoming Nicky into your home, please complete the adoption application on our website: www.furfunrescue.org. For any questions, feel free to reach out to us at rox@furfunrescue.org or call 319-929-6657. Adopters within two hours of Cedar Rapids, IA only, please. Indoor homes only. Nicky’s adoption fee is $250.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello, my name is Bo, but you can call me Mr. Wonderful or something else but don't call me late for dinner. Are you ready to meet me? I'm a wonderful dog that likes going outside and for walks. I need a fenced in yard because I like to chase things like the bunny that is usually in my neighbor's yard.  I don't think I would like living with rambunctious kids, but adults with a quiet home would suit me well. If you want to sit back and watch TV, I'm right there sitting next to you. I like treats and I’ve loved going to doggie daycare to make new friends. I’ve also worked with the trainer to learn some new skills, I’m happy to do anything for a treat! Bo's adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives.  If you would like to meet Bo, please submit an adoption application through our website Adopthope.org.  Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of having kept animals as indoor pets only, altered and kept current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes a vet history 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
Chuy the 'Chug' - a chihuahua pug mix, or seemingly so! He sports the most adorable of underbites, and curliest of tails that he will never stop melting your heart! Without mentioning his big brown eyes, and his yearn to be held, on laps, or even just in a human's presence, he is the sweetest little boy ever, though, without a doubt there are times where he believes he's the house ruler! Chuy is about 2 years old, and weighs in at approximately 11 pounds or so; making him a great size to be a lap companion! Chuy gets along well with other dogs, and is definitely a lap guarder when it comes to others trying to steal his beloved spot, specifically those much larger than him. But we believe Chuy will do wonderful in most homes, especially those that are a great environment for a pint-sized guy to live and be loved! Chuy knows most basic commands, is crate-trained, and based on these things, we believe he's at least partially housebroken! Making Chuy SO easy to transition home! Chuy will do just about anything for a treat, even if it comes down to dancing, standing, or spinning in circles, it's ADORABLE! The one specific thing that Chuy will need in his forever home, is someone not necessarily willing to let him run the house, like someone willing to be stern when he needs it, otherwise, his pug stubborn, and pushy personality will definitely come through. He's been thriving in his foster where he's met with leadership, and guidance; and has taken onto house-breaking like a champ!

Story
Scooby the doll, is looking for nothing more than patience, love, companionship, and cuddles. At about a year old, somehow this guy is pretty chill; but definitely has the moments of zoomies, jumps, runs, dances, and chases, at about 8 pounds, that's no biggie! Although Scooby is pretty shy when it comes to strangers, at first; he never fails to warm up, and indulge in all the love they've got to offer, ALWAYS reciprocating with plenty of kisses! He' done just that as he begins to flourish in his amazing foster home - here he is showing more and more growth, and learning to be comfortable in all sorts of situations. If I were to guess where Scooby's happy place would be, once home, and comfortable; it'd be cuddled right up next to someone he loves, and napping under a blanket, content as can be. Scooby LOVES other dogs, especially those around his size, ignores cats, and is occasionally intimidated by loud, fast moving young children/loud noises. This sweet boy seems to have all of his basic skills accounted for, including his ADORABLE puppy dog eyes. We think Scooby will do amazingly in just about any home willing to provide the time, patience, and understanding for his adjustment. Especially considering his genuine sweetness, and understanding of the basics!

Story
Little Monty, with the ADORABLE face that steal hearts, and big brown eyes that you can't help but adore. This sweet little boy is only about a year old, and 12 pounds, and while he may be small, his personality is BIG! As you may know, these guys are known for their sizable personalities and Monty is no different! Taking the world on in strides, fully prepared for adventures as such a little boy, yet more than willing to cuddle in the crook of just about ANYONE'S arms. Monty gets along well with all other dogs, kids, and cats! Making him a PERFECT fit for just about any home! Especially if you're willing to give him plenty of belly rubs and playtime, then Monty will have absolutely ZERO complaints. My favorite trait of Monty's is how he romps and runs with all the other dogs, he doesn't hesitate even with the bigger ones; and just quickly befriends them! If short little legs and a tiny kissable face make up your ideal pup, he is PERFECT. He's seriously the sweetest!
