Mission Statement
Last Hope K9's mission is to rescue dogs from kill shelters and place them with a permanent home or find fosters willing to open their homes and hearts until we can find that right FURever home. Our goal: Continue to save one until there are none.
Description
Last Hope K9 Rescue is an all-breed rescue dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters throughout the United States. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, pre-existing medical conditions, or breed. Why? Because every animal deserves to know love.
As the literal "last hope" of every animal we serve, we work methodically to place each of our dogs within a stable, loving environment that can act as either their forever home or the gateway to their forever home. We strive to ensure that all of our adoptions and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved.
Last Hope also seeks to educate the communities in which we work about spay-and-neuter programs to help control dog over-population, a major cause of the countless strays across our country. Spaying or neutering your pet can help to stop the problem at its source. We promote animal welfare by supporting important initiatives that protect and give a voice to the voiceless.
Last Hope was established in March of 2012. Since our foundation, we have saved the lives of over 2,000 dogs and we could not do our work without amazing people like you!
Please adopt, foster, donate, advocate and educate. You can make a difference!
