Last Stop Rescue

🚨💔 WE NEED FOSTERS. AND WE NEED THEM NOW. 💔🚨

Three sweet girls are facing an unexpected change, and we are desperately trying to make sure they don’t end up without a place to go.

Nala. Louise. Zora. 🐾

Their amazing foster is preparing for an upcoming surgery and, understandably, will not be able to continue caring for them during their recovery. This is absolutely NO fault of these girls. They are loved, safe, and happy in their foster home, and the last thing we want is for them to experience the stress of losing the home they know.

But rescue only works when people step up. And right now, we need three people or families to step up for these girls.

🏡 NALA | Approximately 6 years old
🐱 Good with cats
🐶 Good with other dogs
👧 Good with kids

🏡 LOUISE | Approximately 3.5 years old
🐶 Good with other dogs
🐱 Good with cats
👧 Good with older kids
❗️Someone with shepherd experience is preferred

🏡 ZORA | Approximately 2 years old
🐶 Good with other dogs
🐱 Good with cats
👧 Older kids or a home without kids preferred
❗️Someone with shepherd experience is preferred

We know fostering is a big ask. We know life is busy. We know opening your home to a dog can feel overwhelming.

But somewhere out there, Nala, Louise, and Zora are counting on someone to say yes. ❤️‍🩹

They don’t need someone to save the whole world. They just need one home, one open door, and one person willing to give them a safe place to land.

Last Stop Rescue provides the supplies, medical care, and support you need to foster.

🙏 Please, if you can foster one of these girls, reach out to us ASAP.
🙏 If you can’t foster, please share this post. Their next home could be just one share away.

🐾❤️ HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! ❤️🐾

Today is all about celebrating the dogs who make our lives happier, sillier, messier, and so much more meaningful. And we have a LOT to celebrate! 🥹🐶

So far in 2026, these Last Stop Rescue pups have found their forever families! 🏡❤️ Every adoption represents a dog who was given a second chance, a foster who opened their home, volunteers who never gave up, and an adopter who said, “Yes, you’re coming home with me!”

From tiny puppies to seniors, shy pups to goofy adventure buddies, each one had their own story… and now they’re writing their forever chapter. 📖🐾

Today, we’re celebrating EVERY single 2026 adoption and the families who made happily-ever-afters possible🥰

But the work doesn’t stop here. There are still so many dogs waiting for their turn💔

Want to help us celebrate National Dog Day?
🐾 Adopt
🐾 Foster
🐾 Donate
🐾 Volunteer
🐾 Share an adoptable dog

Because every dog deserves to know what it feels like to be home❤️🏡

Happy National Dog Day from all of us at Last Stop Rescue! 🐶🎉

Long timer alert 😭

Louise is Last Stop Rescue’s longest resident. She joined the rescue back in December 2023. Louise is approximately 3 years old and a shepherd (& maybe Doberman) mix!

Louise has been very overlooked and we don’t understand why!! She gets along with other dogs - big or small. She is great at matching another dog’s play style. She also gets along well with cats.

Louise enjoys going on car ride adventures, long walks, or lounging around with her people! She’s also great at keeping herself busy with something to chew on.

Like any shepherd, slow introductions to strangers is best. Louise has a big heart but she needs a minute to meet new people.

This gal also LOVES food/treats more than life. This makes her an A+ student during training sessions!

Louise is looking for a family with an active lifestyle, older children (or no children), and someone with shepherd experience is preferred!

If you’re not ready to adopt another dog, Louise is looking for a foster home!

For more information about Louise, please apply online at https://laststoprescue.org!

ISO FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!

Sometimes dogs are returned through no fault of their own. Hugh is one of those dogs.

At just 1.5 years old, this handsome Husky/Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix found himself back in rescue after his previous owner realized they could no longer give Hugh the time, activity, and attention he needs to truly thrive.

And Hugh? He’s ready to get back to living his best life🥹

Hugh is an active, happy, smart, adventure-loving boy who would love a family that wants to make him part of their adventures. He’d do especially well with an active lifestyle and/or another dog companion to keep him company.

A little more about Hugh:
🐶 Great with other dogs
👨‍👩‍👧 Great with people & kids
🏡 Housebroken
🛏️ Crate trained
🚗 LOVES car rides
🌲 Forest preserve adventures are his favorite
🏊 Loves swimming
🎾 Loves playing fetch
🦴 Enjoys chewing on bones
🧠 Loves training and learning new things

Hugh isn’t looking for a perfect family. He’s looking for a committed family who will give him the exercise, enrichment, structure, companionship, and love that a young, energetic dog needs.

He has so much love and potential to give. He just needs someone willing to keep showing up for him❤️

Could you be the person who gives Hugh the fresh start he deserves?

Please share Hugh’s post. His person is out there somewhere. ❤️
