Patsy is a super sweet 8 year old mix breed dog. She is adorable in person, seems to be okay with other dogs but do best in a home with no other dogs. She loves kids and adults, is house trained and always has a smile to show off. She is the perfect age, past the chewing stage, past the chasing stage, past the ADHD stage and really listens well. Patsy weighs 72 lbs. She would do best with a dog with the same light activity nature.

Read MoreMeet Lil Miss Echo! a super sweet pittie that came to Hope Rescues via Alton Animal Control. Echo is a soft caramel color with some white markings, and weighs about 35-40 lbs. She came to Hope Rescues just after having her puppies, so she was very confused and frightened. Echo is believed to be approximately 7 years old. She is such a good girl and never dirties her room and she also know some commands. When she arrived at Hope, it was obvious that at one time she had been someone's special girl, as she had evidence of gold nail polish on her toenails. Echo loves to play ball and give kisses, and with her sweet smile and her lil' cocked ear, she'll win your heart before you know it! How she ended up being alone, is anyone's guess, but, all she wants now is to have a forever home and lots of lovin'... and maybe, just maybe, to have her toe nails painted once again~Echo would prefer to be the only dog in the home.
Cricket is a 7 year old Boxer/Pit mix female. She weighs 50 lbs and is house trained. She is very laid back and likes other male dogs with the same activity level. She is good with kids and all people (She loves bellyrubs). She is very pretty, short and stocky. She is perfect for the right family.
Chloe DOB 11/23/2010 Female, American Staffordshire Terrier
Chloe is an amazing girl.. She is big, approximately 70 lbs , she likes walks on nature trails, belly rubs and playing tug of war. She will need a strong family with no small children - not because she is aggressive but because she is so large and so strong. She walks well on a leash, loves people but would best be suited to be the only pet.
Peaches was rescued from a hoarding situation and is 6 years old. We think she is a collie/lab mix. She is shy of people at first and does not do well with kids. She plays well with other dogs and likes cats too. She is so cute and every time she sits she holds one paw up all lady like.
Parker is a 4 year old Boston Terrier mix female. She weighs about 35lbs and is very smart and house trained. She came from an abusive situation, we do not know the details, so she is very nervous when she meets new people, but once she knows you, she has so much love to share. No small children. She gets along well with other dogs, especially dogs smaller than her or very submissive males. She is very pretty and will be fantastic for the right family
Dory - DOB 7/30/2011
Okay, first and most importantly, look how stinkin' cute my ears are! My name is Dory, I'm a Blue Pittie gal that was approx born in July of 2011, and I love all people including kids! I came to the sanctuary with my sister, Jewell, because my first family had domestic violence issues and called some people to confiscate us because our first home was so bad. The people that took us almost had to euthanize us, but Hope Animal Rescues took us for a car ride to come to the sanctuary just in time! I've been here for a while, but I think that's only because my sister and I wanted to go to the same home; I loved her so much! My sister passed away at the beginning of 2023 and I was sad, but the people here are giving me more lovin's than I usually get, and they made it all better. I'm still not sure how it's possible to get MORE lovin's than I did before; I got lovin's a lot! A long time ago, in 2019, I had a rectal tumor removed and they biopsied it and said it was Colorectal Adenocarcinoma. They got it out super quick and I haven't had any problem since! I'm back to being the happy girl I always was and I'm ready to take naps on the couch, in my own home, with my very own family. My favorite thing is food time! You should see me gallop around before I sit and they pour my food in the bowl! When I have an itch I get all wound up, lay on my back, and then fail around like a fish out of water and my people friends always laugh. Laying on top of you to cuddle and get pet is ALWAYS a good day. I get along with dogs, but I prefer if they don't try to rough-house with me. I've always been nice to the cat I met, but she isn't a fan that I run after her; I'm getting much better with this though. Oh, and before I go, I want to let you in on a little secret! When it's not even that cold outside, I pretend I'm shivvering after I go potty so they let me back in right away. I get called dramatic, but I sure have these people trained! I'm a super easy-going gal, so come meet me if you have something soft for me to lay on at home! to date.
