When Buddy was taken in by Last Hope the dog was more than 20 pounds under weight.
Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter| Blog for us Buddy is a gorgeous 5-year-old Labrador something—maybe mixed with a greyhound or Irish wolfhound. He's tall, though, like a Great Dane. He was a stray, so he's very thin; he weighs about 80 pounds right now, but should weigh 100. He has a calm personality, loves the outdoors—needs a fenced yard to stretch his legs!—and is good with kids and some other dogs. He's also housebroken. Adoption fee is $175, cash only, no checks. Contact foster Angela at jsamaste@msn.com or (651) 451-7603 for more information about Buddy, or come see him from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Apple Valley Petco, along with many other Last Hope pet rescue dogs and cats.

Murray's original owner had to surrender him to Last Hope after losing her home.
Murray had a rough start in life; his first owner lost her home and had to surrender him to Last Hope, but at least things are getting better now. Murray is five years old and very mellow, and loves to greet people at the door, rub against thehir ankles and "chat" about his day. He's good with his litter box and comfortable around dogs and other cats (if there aren’t too many). He's healthy, neutered and declawed, up to date with shots, and would like to find a permanent home where he can get comfortable. Adoption fee is $100, cash only. Contact foster mom Judy at 952-492-2331 or jlweidt@gmail.com for more information.

They then lived in a FEMA trailer, but when the trailers were taken away the family couldn't find a new home that would allow them to take Mr. Handsome with them.

Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter Amber is an adorable 15-month-old domestic short hair, brown-and-white tabby.

Amber showed up on the front porch of a volunteer's home back in March.
