More about the shelter
Last Hope Animal Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Formed in March of 2004, we are an all volunteer animal rescue group comprised of foster homes in the greater Cedar Rapids area. Many of our animals come from local kill shelters, as their time has run out due to any number of reasons including lack of space, not deemed adoptable, special needs, etc. Our purpose is to save as many homeless, abused, abandoned, hard to place, neglected animals that we can and to place as many animals as possible into loving, forever homes where they will be cherished.
Prior to adoption, all of our dogs have been tested for heartworm, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and home visit.
The adoption fee for dogs and puppies varies.
Prior to adoption, our cats have been tested for feline leukemia, current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, and spayed or neutered, if age appropriate. If at the time of adoption, the kitten is too young to be spayed or neutered, an agreed upon time frame will be set for when this procedure is to be done. Spaying or neutering is not an optional procedure, it is required of all animals we rescue.
The adoption fee for cats and kittens varies.
About Billie
Distance: 1,350 Miles
Miss Billie is a small but mighty little girl looking for her forever home! Billie is just around 6 years old and full of energy. She loves toys and to run around playing in the yard. She is also eager to learn and can be motivated by treats so training comes easily to her. She knows most basic commands but gets super excited easily and you will notice her butt wiggles more than her tail! New things can be a little scary to Billie, she is a little skittish around new, loud noises but will recover quickly with some reassurance from her human buddy. Billie would prefer to live in a home with no young children as they can be quite unpredictable to her and that's frightening. She seems to do well with other dogs and has even gone on buddy walks with some of her friends at the adoption center. She is best paired with dogs that have calm and laid back energy, she doesn't appreciate dogs that invade her space or get in her face without a proper introduction. We have made a short introduction of cats to Billie and we'll be darned if she wasn't a little scared! She had very reserved body language and really wasn't sure what to think of them! Billie does take daily prescription meds currently, these will need to be continued under the care of a veterinarian.
Billie's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccines, and preventatives. Also included is a free basic obedience training course at Cedar Run in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires all animals be kept as indoor only pets and that adopters have a history of keeping their pets altered and up to date on vaccinations. If you are interested in meeting Billie, please fill out an adoption application for consideration on our website, adopthope.org. The adoption process includes a home ownership check, background check, and vet history check.
