About this Dog
King James, or KJ as we call him, has lived an awful lot of life for being just a 7 year old dog! He has experienced cruelty at the hands of humans when he was originally brought into rescue around 2020. He had suffered a gun shot wound to the face that required surgery to remove bullet fragments, he made a full recovery and went on to find a home. Unfortunately, KJ was returned when his family dynamic changed and he again found himself alone. KJ is a terrific medium energy dog, he will greet you with a toothy grin showing off his megawatt smile! KJ will enjoy being a man of routine in a quieter home, he is friendly with people but can be a little slow to warm up to strangers which is understandable given his history. However, once he befriends you, he will happily be your goofy, loving companion, enjoying all the car rides and walks. KJ is not a fit with cats. He has done especially well with other medium sized female dogs and should be fine with easy going males around his size. He has not been introduced to small dogs or children yet. Given that he is a little wary of new people, we feel that older children will be the best match for him. King James' adoption fee is $250 and includes his neuter, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives PLUS a free obedience course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha. Last Hope requires that all animals be kept as indoor pets only, be altered and current on vaccinations and preventatives. Our adoption process includes reference and background checks, a vet check and a home visit. If you have animals in the home already, we will also conduct meet and greets to ensure it is a match. Please submit an adoption application for consideration at Adopthope.org.

Adopt King James and Receive King James's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, King James's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is King James's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the King James, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming King James's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and King James was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, King James’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the King James’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, King James’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
