Levi and Lilli were abandoned by people who moved out of a house and left them in a cage in the basement.

The new tenant was moving in and heard whimpering from the basement and discovered them in the cage, which was full of excrement and had no food or water.

She cleaned them up and kept them for five years, but she recently had to take in an elderly, disabled relative and had to move to an apartment better suited for the relative’s care. So she can no longer keep Levi and Lilli.

Levi and Lilli are very bonded, as they are probably siblings. They must be adopted together.

Levi is 18 pounds and Lilli is 14 pounds. They are Cairn Terrier mixes, born in 2017.

They would probably do best in an adult household. While they get along with other dogs, they can get bossy or food-protective.

They are sweet and affectionate with people, like to play with toys, and are grateful for some TLC.

If you are interested in adopting these two cuties, please complete our adoption application on our website, lcrescue.org. Once you have completed the application, you will received your application as an email. Please forward the email to us: [email protected] and text us to let us know you have done so: 219-677-2961.

Just a reminder as we approach Valentine's Day and the Easter season: Be careful of flowers -- including all lilies -- that are poisonous to cats. Chocolate is deadly to dogs. Any product containing the sweetener XYLITOL - as in some peanut butters, and other products - is deadly to dogs and cats.

Charley, who is about 2.5 years old, is very playful with other dogs and toys.

He is very sweet, but a bit skittish when he first meets someone new.

A true “diamond in the rough,” Charley needs love and patience as he learns to trust and love his new family. His ideal home will have a small, young, friendly canine companion to play with.

Charley is a male poodle, born in August, 2022. He is about 15 pounds and housebroken.

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas!

Ivy's beautiful fur is snow white, like Santa's beard! She has told Santa she'd like nothing more than a home to call her own. Can you help?

Ivy is a Husky, 50 lbs, 8 years old, and Potty trained!

Her owner died, and was traumatized initially by losing her “mom” and her home. It was scary for her to be in a new place, but she adjusted well.

Ivy is very sweet and loves a good butt scratch! She has been good with her male dog roommate at the rescue, but she would also probably be fine as an only dog. She loves dog toys, but can't play with them now because her canine companion is not good at sharing.

Ivy is mild-mannered and a bit shy at first, but warms up as soon as she learns she is safe and loved.

Like all Huskies, she loves the outdoors and getting plenty of exercise. She needs a fenced yard to be safe and happy. No young children, as she is used to a quiet, adult-only home.

Please complete an adoption application on our website, www.lcrescue.org, and text 219-677-2961 after you have submitted the app. Thank you!

PLEASE SHARE IVY!

UPDATE 1/29/25: ADOPTED!

***************************************************************

Tyke has no idea that he is different than any other dog.

Tyke was born in 2013, with 3 1/2 legs. He is a ShihTzu mix, about 17 pounds.

Tyke is a happy little man, and he gets along fine with low-energy and senior dogs. Tyke had no reaction to cats when we tested him.

Tyke’s human dad died recently, and there were no family members who were able to give Tyke a home.

He is housebroken! Tyke would love a home for the holidays and his very own person to snuggle with and watch TV.

Good evening friends,

Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday! You may have read and heard that animal shelters and rescues in our area are bursting at the seams, and Last Chance Rescue is no exception.

Animal rescue takes a very special "breed" of person. People who have a kind heart, can roll up their sleeves, and have a "can-do" attitude.

But vetting and sheltering dogs and cats, many of whom have not been spayed or neutered or cared for in a very long time, is very expensive.

If you have it in your heart to donate to Last Chance Rescue tomorrow, please know that we truly appreciate it. Your donations help us to continue to do what we do, as we have no other funding sources.

So please send your donation to us at Last Chance Rescue, P.O. Box 398, Schererville IN 46375.

If you are unable to donate, we will always take your prayers! Another way you can help is to share our posts of adoptable animals!

As always - THANK YOU for your support!

Help us find Ivy a home for the holidays!

Beautiful Ivy’s owner died, and Ivy’s small canine companion was rehomed. Ivy was traumatized initially by losing her “mom” and her home. It was scary for her to be in a new place, but she adjusted well.

Ivy, a Husky, is very sweet and loves a good butt scratch! She has been good with her male dog roommate, but she would also probably be fine as an only dog. She loves dog toys, but can't play with them now because her canine companion is not good at sharing.

Ivy is mild-mannered and a bit shy at first, but warms up as soon as she learns she is safe and loved.

Like all Huskies, she loves the outdoors and getting plenty of exercise. She needs a fenced yard to be safe and happy. No young children, as she is used to a quiet, adult-only home.

Ivy was born in 2016, and is about 50 pounds and housetrained.

Hello Friends,

This Tuesday, December 3, is Giving Tuesday, a day set aside each year to donate to your favorite causes.

We don't ask for donations nearly as much as we should, but we'd appreciate it if you would consider making a donation this holiday season to Last Chance Rescue.

Many of our long-time benefactors have become elderly or have sadly passed, and we find ourselves with bills to pay and few resources. We try as hard as we can to care for the animals we rescue and place them in loving homes. But you've heard it before - running a rescue is hard, back-breaking, expensive work.

So, if you are able, please help the pets of Last Chance Rescue by donating this Tuesday. Please send your donation to Last Chance Rescue, P.O. Box 398, Schererville IN 46375.

Thank you for your continued friendship and support.

Any German Shepherd lovers out there? Please help us out!

Princess is a beautiful nine-year-old German Shepherd who needs immediate foster or adoption!

She is about 90 pounds, is current on all her vaccines, and has been fully vetted.

Her humans are in the middle of a divorce and Princess's human mom is overwhelmed caring for five children and Princess. So, poor Princess is living in the garage and the laundry room, as the former male head of household didn't want her in the house.

Despite this beautiful girl not being able to be with her family, Princess has proven that she is a sweetheart. She is good with children, she loves fetching balls, and she enjoys belly rubs and going for walks.

She is great with kids and would need to be the only pet in the home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in either fostering or adopting Princess, please text or call (leave message with phone number) Cherie at 219-677-2961. (The application process on our website is not currently working.)

Help us help Princess a foster or adoptive home ASAP so she can start living the good life! Thank you! PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!

What a sassy girl! Ember has lots of personality, as you can see!

Ember's first family went through a divorce and relocation and no one was able to keep her.

Ember is good with other dogs and older children.

Belly rubs are Ember's favorite thing! She also loves to play with toys - toys can keep her happy for hours!

Ember is a female Blue Heeler, born in March 2022. She is about 55 pounds and is potty trained.

Please complete our adoption application on our website, www.lcrescue.org and text Cherie your name after you complete the application. 219-677-2961.

Hey friends, we wanted to share an update on Princess.

Princess really deserves to be treated like the princess she is. Can you help us make sure that happens?

Princess is a beautiful nine-year-old German Shepherd who needs a foster or adoption, as we have no space for her at our facility.

She is about 90 pounds and is now current on all her vaccines and has been fully vetted!

We hope one of you German Shepherd lovers - or simply anyone looking for a loving companion - can help sweet Princess.

Her humans are in the middle of a divorce and Princess's human mom is overwhelmed caring for five children and Princess. So, poor Princess is living in the garage and the laundry room, as the former male head of household didn't want her in the house.

Despite this beautiful girl not being able to be with her family, Princess has proven that she is a sweetheart. She is good with children, she loves fetching balls, and she enjoys belly rubs and going for walks.

Although she is great with kids, Princess would need to be the only pet in the home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in either fostering or adopting Princess, please text or call (leave message with phone number) Cherie at 219-677-2961. (The application process on our website is not currently working.)

Help us help Princess a foster or adoptive home ASAP so she can start living the good life! Thank you! PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!

Friends, we have an urgent need.

Princess really deserves to be treated like the princess she is. Can you help us make sure that happens?

This is Princess, a beautiful nine-year-old German Shepherd who needs a new home. Because we have no space for her currently at our facility, we desperately need a foster or potential adopter for her.

We are hoping one of you who might be a German Shepherd lover, or simply anyone who is looking for a loving companion, can help sweet Princess.

Sadly, her humans are in the middle of a divorce and Princess's human mom is overwhelmed caring for five children and Princess. So, poor Princess is living in the garage and the laundry room, as the former male head of household didn't want her in the house.

Despite this beautiful girl not being able to live in the house with her family, Princess has proven that she is a sweetheart, because we know she is good with children, and she loves fetching balls, and enjoys belly rubs and going for walks.

She is 93 pounds and current on her rabies vaccine, but she does need some other vetting done, which we will have our vet take care of as soon as possible.

Although she is great with kids, Princess would need to be the only pet in the home.

If you, or anyone you know, is interested in either fostering or adopting Princess, please text or call (leave message with phone number) Cherie at 219-677-2961. Unfortunately, our application process is not currently working.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST because we need to find Princess a foster or adoptive home ASAP so she can start living the good life!
