Rescue FAQs

Second Chance Rescue is headquartered in Orange Lake, Florida. We cover a rural area in the Gainesville/Ocala region with a network of volunteers and foster homes. While many of our rescued dogs come from animal shelters, we also get a number of them through "shelter diversion" contacts - where we take in a dog or litter that is likely to end up there without our help. (We do not have a public facility in Orange Lake - but that zip code is fairly central to our network of foster homes.)

Adoption steps

  1. Interview
    We usually begin with a phone call and introductions to answer questions and ensure that the pet is a good match for your family.
  2. Submit Application
    We have an easy on-line application.
  3. Meet the Pet
    We do not have a public facility. After your application is approved you would be invited to visit the pet at one of our foster homes.
  4. Sign Adoption Contract
    A home visit is usually done to deliver the pet and complete the adoption contract.

Additional adoption info

Each adoption has an application process, home visit, contract, and adoption donation. The process almost always starts with a brief telephone conversation to get things started! :-) Call today and we'll do our best to match you with a great forever friend!
