Happy Holidays from all of us at Last Hope Animal Rescue! Thank you to everyone that donated toys and treats to our adoptable animals, you helped to make Christmas extra special for them this year!
Adoptable dog Chase joined us not too long ago from Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control. Heโs not even a year old yet and he finds himself homeless, with no family of his own.
Chase is living in a temporary foster home for now, but unfortunately his foster family will be traveling soon and wonโt be able to provide care for him any longer. Chase needs your help!! Please help us to find him a foster home, or even better a forever home! If we canโt find a home for Chase soon, heโs going to have to move into a kennel at our adoption center and we just donโt think that he will fair well being that heโs such a young dog who has already has enough change and uncertainty in his short life.
Chase has joined our friends at Cedar Run Company #2 and started working with the trainers for Play & Train sessions. They have told us what a smart and loving boy he is, and they really enjoy his company!
If youโre looking for a smart, handsome and loyal friend, you need to meet Chase! Please visit our website, Adopthope.org to submit a foster or adoption application, or share this post to help find Chase a home! And if youโre not following us on TikTok yet, what are you waiting for?!

Be careful, thereโs something dangerous lurking in the grassโฆitโs ticks!
If you havenโt already, be sure to start your pups on their monthly preventatives as weโre finding that ticks are already bad this year! They can be found in both wooded areas and tall grassy areas, so check your pets and your people after enjoying outside time!
Manny and Dr Loni make quite the pair! Weโre so thankful to have the support of Heartland Animal Hospital Fairfax in managing medical cases like Mannyโs!
Midwest Dueling Pianos, a sneak peek!
Did you hear the big news? Last Hope is turning 20 years old this March and weโre throwing a party to celebrate! ๐๐ฅณ๐
Saturday, March 23rd youโll want to join us for a night of fun, live music and maybe a few cold drinks at The Olympic South Side Theater, Cedar Rapids! Midwest Dueling Pianos will be proving the entertainment, and if youโve never been to a dueling pianos performance, well have no fearโฆwe can tell you exactly what to expectโฆFUN! We sent a few of our volunteers to the last sold out performance that Penguin's Comedy Club hosted recently, and well as you can tell from our video - everyone had a GREAT time!
We hope that you will plan to join us on Saturday, March 23rd. Our event runs 6-10pm, the cost is $25 per adult and tickets are required. Seating is limited and tickets sell out quickly, so act now if you want to support Last Hope with a night of light hearted fun! We are SO thankful to the community that supports our mission and helps to place hundreds of adoptable animals into loving homes right here in Eastern Iowa every year. We hope to celebrate this milestone anniversary with YOU!

We have lots of great kitties looking to be adopted! Visit us this Sunday from 12-2pm for our Cat Tailgate Party (aka...Cat Adoption Event!) at Last Hope Animal Rescue!
Did you know World's Best Cat Litter supplies Last Hope with litter, including a free adoption box that accompanies every kitty to their new home when they get adopted?
As you can see, we got to bring out one of these awesome boxes this weekโฆbecause Stevie was adopted! โค๏ธ
Broly & Willy's Winter Wonderland!
Seems like there are two types of people this time of year...those that are enjoying the snow and cold weather like Willy, and those that would prefer to hide from it like Broly! ๐
Dodger on the Hunt
What do you do with dogs when it's too cold and snowy to go outside on a walk? You hide treats and watch them frantically search for them! Here is Dodger (sped up a little) looking for his prize.
Dodger would love a running partner but walking would be good, too. He should be the only dog in a home with an experienced dog person. A fenced yard would be safest for him. He would probably be fine with kids six and older.
You can find our adoption application at https://adopthope.org/adopt/.
When youโre a kitten whoโs having a rough day, in this case from painful injuries to your head and eye, thereโs nothing better than a little love and belly rubs!
A huge shoutout to our friends at Cedar Rapids Animal Hospital, not only are they providing the medical attention needed to get this little one feeling much better, they are also providing the TLC needed to keep this kitten as comfortable and relaxed as possible.
Itโs a special person that will go above and beyond to show compassion for animals in need and for that we are very thankful to have found a friend in veterinary assistant Ashley and Dr. Marty Weber.
We are anticipating moving forward with surgery this week to remove the badly injured eye, but in the meantime please enjoy these soft purrs and biscuit making skills!
What do you do when itโs too hot out for a good walk? Why, you go to PetSmart for a stroll and lots of good sniffs!
Nix sure enjoyed herself today, and weโre pretty sure sheโd take a job as a โquality control inspectorโ if sheโd get paid in tasty treats every day! ๐ This girl is super smart and still in need of a foster or forever home. Be sure to check out her bio on our website, Adopthope.org.
Portia
While some of us are overindulging this holiday weekend, Portia is working on keeping her girlish figure!
Portia would do best in a quiet, adult home with no dogs. She can be a little timid.
