2nd Chance Mutts Dog Rescue

We are a grassroots, not for profit, all breed animal loving group. Together, we have a considerable amount of experience with dogs and dog care. We are working closely with SOAPS- Sweet Onion Animal Protection Society, located in Georgia. We chose SOAPS because we believe in their mission statement. Education is very important to solving the over population of unwanted animals. We also pull dogs from our local shelters. Our bottom line is to save dogs. We are horrified and saddened by what goes on in kill shelters and are committed to doing something about it. We are starting out very small and we have some GREAT dogs who would make a wonderful and deserving addition to any family!

"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog.
You are his life, his love, his leader.
He will be yours, faithful and true,
to the last beat of his heart.
You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

Rescue FAQs

We serve all of Connecticut and the surrounding areas in MA and RI.

Additional adoption info

We charge a fee to help defray the costs associated with transport, vetting and boarding. We ask that people interested in a particular dog fill out a free application. They will be subject to a home visit and a vet reference check prior to adoption. All family members are to be present for the home visit. We will be looking for unsafe conditions, proper containment and general observation of the surroundings to determine if the applicants are ready and prepared for a pet.
