My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

🌼 Meet Daffodil – A Shy Flower Blooming Into a Ray of Sunshine 🌼
Daffodil is pure joy wrapped up in puppy wiggles and soft ears. This gentle, shy girl is blossoming into an affectionate and playful pup who loves people, other dogs, and even cats! She’s indoors full-time now and thriving—calm, well-mannered, and soaking up love like sunlight.

She’s still learning about crate training and how to walk on a leash, but she’s a fast learner and responds beautifully to gentle correction. Daffodil has the kind of personality that makes you fall for her without even realizing it. She’s sweet, silly, and a little bit magical—like a dream girl in dog form.

She's still getting used to the idea that humans are safe and kind, but her tail is wagging more each day, and she’s always ready for playtime. Daffodil is the type of dog that makes fostering feel like a gift—and adopting her will feel like winning the lottery.

More about this rescue

Since 2017, our dedicated team of volunteers has rescued thousands of dogs, focusing on giving second chances to the injured, abandoned, and overlooked. Building on years of experience under a different organization, Second Start Rescue is a new start that strengthens our commitment to saving lives and expanding our impact.

Second Start Rescue was co-founded by Jennifer Aufdenberg and a team of animal advocates and supporters who share a passion for animal welfare. As a co-founder of Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue (SSR), Jennifer and a dedicated group of individuals helped rescue over 3,500 dogs, primarily shepherds, from high-kill shelters and difficult circumstances. This work in SSR laid the foundation for a community of supporters and volunteers dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at life.

Our mission centers on rescuing and rehabilitating dogs from the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of Texas, an area with one of the highest rates of animal abandonment in the country. While shepherds are our primary focus, we extend our care to any dog in critical need, prioritizing those who face the greatest challenges.

With Second Start Rescue, we’re doubling down on our efforts to address the root causes of animal homelessness. Our goals include implementing spay and neuter programs, offering community outreach and education, and providing compassionate care to every animal we rescue. Together, we aim to create lasting change for dogs, their communities, and the people who love them.
