But despite his name, he’s really more of a Couch Potato than a Chip Potato, with just the occasional burst of puppy silliness sprinkled in!Chip Potato has a friendly, social nature and is eager to make friends wherever he goes. He can sometimes get a little overexcited, so he’ll appreciate a family ready to help him practice his manners and learn when it’s time to settle down. Like any puppy, he has some normal puppy mouthiness and will benefit from gentle guidance as he grows. He enjoys exploring, playing, and spending time with his people, but he’s also happy entertaining himself with toys or relaxing nearby. With continued guidance and positive introductions, Chip will be ready to keep learning how to be the best furry family member he can be!This clever little spud is already making great progress with his training! He’s doing well with house training, is crate trained, and knows his “sit” and “crate” commands. He loves learning new things, especially when tasty treats are involved! He’s still working on his leash-walking skills and may pull occasionally, but with practice, patience, and more walks under his belt, he’ll continue to improve. Chip is a bright boy with a great attitude and a whole lot of love to give.If you’re looking for a fun-loving pup who’s equal parts adventure buddy and couch companion, Chip Potato might just be your bag!Please Note: All dogs are posted on our website until they are officially adopted. This dog may have other interested adopters in line. If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website at www.lasthopek9.org.

soft brown coat and white paws that will make you want to cuddle her all day long. She has beautiful brown eyes that radiate kindness and warmth, despite her initial shyness. Coco is a bit hesitant around new people but it only takes a treat or a few minutes, and then she warms up quickly and becomes a playful and affectionate companion who loves attention. She enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to explore her surroundings. Coco was taken from a hoarding situation in KY but it hasn't dimmed her sweet demeanor. She is pregnant and due near the end of October, so would be available for adoption after her puppies are weaned - just after Christmas.

If you're looking for a loyal and endearing companion who will bring joy to your life, Coco is the one for you!

If you are interested in adopting her, please fill out an application on our website www.fohari.org and email my foster parent Karen Hogan for more information:

Gordita is a gentle, submissive girl who wants nothing more than to be close to the people and dogs she trusts. Her foster says she will follow you everywhere, sit nearby, and keep a close eye on where you are. She isn’t an independent girl, and companionship is very important to her.She is house trained and has had no accidents in her foster home. She also does well in her crate, although she may occasionally bark while crated. Gordita walks nicely on leash and stays right alongside her person. She can be a little hesitant in new situations, but with encouragement, she does well and is gradually gaining confidence.Gordita currently lives with an elderly small dog and has done well with him. She has also enjoyed playing in the yard with other small dogs. Her foster feels that another supportive dog in her new home will be important for Gordita, helping her feel safe and confident as she continues to adjust.And when it comes to wildlife, Gordita and Lucia are not chasers! Squirrels, rabbits, and even chickens are simply ignored by both girls. They show no interest in pursuing them and happily go about their business. While they haven’t been specifically tested with cats, we suspect dog-savvy cats would likely be compatible with either girl, provided introductions are handled appropriately.Gordita has a lower energy level but enjoys regular walks and exploring new environments at her own pace. She rides well in the car and has shown no aggression or concerning behavioral issues in her foster home.Gordita is also officially on a weight-loss journey! After working with our veterinary team, we discovered that she has hypothyroidism, a thyroid condition that was contributing to her weight and overall health. She will need daily thyroid medication for the rest of her life, along with routine veterinary monitoring. Thankfully, hypothyroidism is very manageable with proper treatment, and Gordita is already showing improvements in her overall health and well-being.She’ll also need her new family to continue her consistent diet, regular walks, and healthy routine as she works toward a healthier weight.An apartment or house could work well for Gordita as long as she receives regular walks, plenty of companionship, and another supportive dog in the home. After having her entire world turned upside down, this affectionate little shadow is ready for the security of a family who will love her through the next chapter.If you’re looking for a gentle, devoted little companion who wants to be by your side and has so much love to give, Gordita may be your girl. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed or neutered. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption.

She has a lower energy level overall, but getting outside to explore is one of her favorite things.Lucia is house trained and does well in her crate. She willingly goes into it on her own and is comfortable resting there for a few hours during the day as well as overnight. She also rides well in the car.She is currently living with an elderly small dog and does well with her both in the home and in the car. Lucia is described as submissive and has shown no aggression or concerning behavioral issues in her foster home.Lucia and Gordita are also wonderfully uninterested in chasing wildlife! Squirrels, rabbits, and even chickens don’t seem to faze either of them. They simply ignore them and go about their business. While neither has been specifically tested with cats, based on this behavior, we suspect dog-savvy cats would likely be just fine with them, given appropriate introductions.More than anything, Lucia loves being close to her people. She follows her foster family around the house, enjoys cuddling and snuggling, and would thrive in a home where she can have plenty of companionship. She can be a little vocal when someone first comes into the house or occasionally from her crate, but she settles once she knows everything is okay.Lucia isn’t particularly interested in toys. Her favorite enrichment is getting out into the world, taking leisurely walks, meeting people and dogs, and having plenty of time to sniff and explore.Lucia is healthy and currently on a weight-loss journey. She’ll simply need her new family to continue providing a consistent diet, regular walks, and a healthy routine to help her reach and maintain a healthier weight.An apartment or house could both work well for Lucia as long as she gets regular walks and plenty of time with her people. After having her life turned upside down, Lucia is ready for the comfort and stability of a family to call her own.If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will explore by your side and curl up with you afterward, Lucia may be your girl.

Meet Knight. This senior boy has had the benefit of lots of love for his entire life but unfortunately, the family he was raised with had some changes and one of the resident dogs became highly aggressive to him. His former owner made the heartbreaking decision to surrender him to rescue for his own safety, and we've brought him into foster care. He is a Boston/Pekingese mix, and an absolute, sweetheart! Knight is very well socialized and meets people well, he's great with other dogs, he is loving, affectionate and a really nice dog. We've gotten him to the vet to get him up-to-date on shots and have scheduled his neuter, and he's looking for a safe and loving retirement home.
