Mission Statement
Last Hope K9 Rescue is dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and/or abused dogs from high-kill shelters in Central Arkansas and beyond. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, pre-existing medical condition, or breed, because every dog deserves to know love.
Description
LHK9 is 100% volunteer-run, with no paid staff or board members. To date, our all-volunteer team has rescued over 12,000 at-risk dogs and placed them in loving adoptive homes. We are entirely foster-based and do not have a physical shelter - all of our dogs are cared for in foster homes throughout Arkansas and Massachusetts.
As the literal "last hope" of the dogs we serve, our southern fosters pull dogs and puppies from partner shelters in Arkansas. While in foster, each dog receives love, care, and medical treatment, then receives a health clearance and transports to New England. After a mandatory 48-hour quarantine stay and an additional health clearance, each dog is picked up and fostered by a northern foster family who serves as a gateway to his/her adoptive home, affectionately known as a FURever home.
Our team of volunteers works tirelessly providing love and care in foster homes, processing adoption applications, hosting adoption events, and ensuring that each dog is placed within a stable, loving adoptive home. We strive to ensure that all of our adoption and foster placements are the optimal fit for everyone involved.
