Meet Sedona
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sweet Sedona, aka Nona, has come so far since being rescued after being found fending for herself in a field near Cedar Rapids.
Once skin and bones, she has now put on much needed weight and looks so healthy.
Not much is known about Nona, other than she ended up in a field in Iowa, after being adopted from a shelter in Arizona. The name and number connected to her microchip claimed they never had a dog, so it was obvious that she was abandoned.
Initially, she had a hard time adjusting to new dogs, as it appeared that Nona had been an only dog most of her life. But through slow and supervised interactions, she has steadily increased her inner circle of dogs to hang out with.
Nona is an older gal, at around 9-10 years of age, but a spry one. Don't let her age fool you, she has many years of life left. She is extremely low maintenance and doesn't require a lot of exercise, although she wouldn't mind a nice walk around the neighborhood.
She is house trained and never makes messes. She loves her kennel, although she doesn't require one when left alone. But a kennel provides her with added security on those days she's a little uncertain and fearful of humans.
Nona has been let down a lot by humans, so it takes her awhile to trust, so a home with older adults, or empty nesters would be best for her. A quiet home would provide the most nurturing environment for her.
She seems to prefer the company of older dogs and their "mind your own business" mentality, as energetic, in your face dogs set off her "fight or flight" mode, as it's apparent that she's had to fight to survive. She does redirect beautifully when encounters with "no boundaries, face intruders" occur.
No cats or critters for her, as she more than likely survived off of them after she was discarded in that field.
Nona's an extremely smart girl with scars and a unique look to her face that makes her look as if she's always "scowling", even when she's happy.
She is a barker, so no apartment style living for her, as she must alert you to any possible intruders.
This girl has been through a lot, therefore, she needs an experienced and dedicated adopter, as we won't let her down again. Several meet and greets are required to ensure that it will be a good fit for all.
Sedona's adoption fee is $200 and includes her spay, microchip, current vaccinations and preventatives plus a heartworm test. Her adoption fee also includes a 6-week basic training course at Cedar Run Company in Hiawatha. Sedona is seeking an indoor only home, if you would like to meet her please submit an adoption application for consideration! Last Hope requires that adopters have a history of having kept their pets altered, kept current on vaccinations and preventatives and as indoor pets only. Our adoption process includes a vet history check and a home visit.
