Areas Second Chance at Love Humane Society serves

We are based out of San Luis Obispo County, Califormia. However, we rescue and place all over the country. We took in 29 animals from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. We will place a dog anywhere as long as the home is an excellent one.

Second Chance at Love Humane Society's adoption process

Additional adoption info

The first step in our adoption process is to fill out an adoption application which can be found on our website. Once the application is submitted, our adoption director will contact you. Home-checks are required in order to adopt on of our dogs. We ask for an adoption donation of $150.

Every dog adopted from Second Chance has been spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated and heartworm tested, and micro-chipped for permanent identification. Second Chance at Love volunteers work diligently to assess each dog’s temperament, personality and behavior. We develop a relationship with each adoptive family to find the dog best suited for them. Although we hope every placement is permanent, we will always take a dog back if, for any reason, the placement does not work out for the adoptive family.

About Second Chance at Love Humane Society

Second Chance at Love Humane Society is a nonprofit, no-kill organization comprised of volunteer professionals dedicated to the rescue, care and placement of homeless dogs with responsible families who will provide loving care for the lifetime of the animal. We believe in resolving behavior issues by providing exercise, leadership and discipline to our rescue dogs. We are dedicated to the elimination of overpopulation through aggressive neutering programs as well as the reduction of homeless animals through effective public education.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
