Last Hope K9 Rescue - Boston Pet Shelter

Last Hope K9 Rescue

LHK9 is a 501(c)(3) registered non-profit all-breed dog rescue based in Massachusetts. We are dedicated to saving abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs from high-kill shelters in Central Arkansas and beyond. Though our rescue efforts are focused in the Central Arkansas area, we also serve as a resource for local dog surrenders, shelters, and special rescue efforts in other areas. We don’t discriminate on the basis of age, pre-existing medical conditions, or breed, because every dog deserves to know love. 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.

Adoption Process

Once you submit your adoption application, our volunteers begin to process your application in two parts: Reference Checks and Home Visit. These are completed by two separate volunteer teams, so it is likely that you will hear from a few people throughout the approval process. When submitting your application, please ensure that the information you are giving is as complete and accurate as possible. This allows our volunteers to process your application efficiently and avoid delays with follow-up.
