Hi, I am Rocky I am dachshund mix.  My DOB is 8/30/2011. I might be an older dog, but I play and act like a young pup. I love to go for walks, belly rubs, just being outside, and play with other dogs.  My favorite toys are squeaky toys. I am good with kids over 9. I am smart. I whine when I want something.  My foster mom says show for what I want like treats, food, water or just to go outside. I am potty trained. I will follow you around the house. I am slow going up and down stairs. All the ladies tell I am handsome boy.

Adoption Fee: $250 (no checks)

Foster to Contact: Barb at bjkallie@hotmail.com

Our fosters do the best they can to provide all information about the animals background and temperament while in foster care in their home.  An adopters routine and home environment is likely going to be different than that in their foster home.  Sometimes there is more that comes out about a dogs personality once they have been able to settle in a home & truly become comfortable.  There are great articles out there written about the different stages a pet goes through after adoption; discussing transitions that happen at 3 days, 3 weeks, & 3 months.  We highly recommend reading about this - it will help you understand the transition your new pet goes through.   

Last Hope, Inc. is an all volunteer, foster based, no kill rescue! You can see almost all of our dogs on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month from 11 am - 2 pm at Lakeville PetSmart (located by Hy-Vee just off 160th & Pilot Knob).

Policies: You do not have to have a fence to adopt a dog from us, but some dogs will require a fence or acres to play, or an active family who will make sure the dog gets the exercise it needs to be happy.  Some dogs do not have the temperament that will do well with young children.   

The Adoption Fee is not enough to cover the vet bills. Sales tax of almost 7.25% is also included in the adoption fee that you see. Please consider donating to Last Hope to help us save these animals!
