My story

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

Mabel is a Courtesy Post Only and is not a Second Chance Dog Rescue dog. SCDR is not responsible for any ownership, behavior, health, and representations made by the owner with respect to this dog. You must contact Victoria at (410) 999-4183 or Morgan at (443) 842-0144 (call or text) for further information or to meet Mabel. 

Mabel (affectionately known as “Big Mama”) is an 11-year-old, 70-lb Pit Bull mix with a heart of gold.

She’s a sturdy, rotund senior gal who’s as mellow as they come—but don’t let her age fool you! Mabel still enjoys her daily walks, car rides, and soaking up the sun. She’s incredibly sweet, kid-friendly, and gets along very well with other dogs.

Her story is heartbreaking: After her original owner passed away, Mabel ended up briefly in a temporary home, but was surrendered when that caretaker developed allergies. Being an older dog, she was placed on the red list at a kill shelter. Thankfully, she was pulled just in time—and now we’re determined to make sure she never sets paw in a shelter again.

Her foster says, “She’s a perfect older girl—goofy, loving, and full of warmth. She deserves a soft landing for her golden years.”

Mabel is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and had flying colors at her senior wellness check. So far, she’s shown no signs of health or behavioral issues.

For more information or to meet Mabel, please contact Victoria at (410) 999-4183 or Morgan at (443) 842-0144 (call or text).

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an Adoption Questionnaire to be completed - whether online or in person - before meeting any of our dogs. Upon approval of the Questionnaire, a potential adopter will be required to complete an Adoption Contract and pay adoption fees. All of our adoptions start with the first 2 weeks as a 'trial' period, to ensure the adoption is a good fit. Adoption of a puppy may require a refundable training deposit, which will be refunded upon completion of training with a Certfied dog trainer, and submission of certificate of completion to our office.

Visit our website at www.SecondChanceDogRescue.org for a list of upcoming Adoption Events. Additionally, our foster parents may schedule one on one meetings with potential owners and provide a personalized adoption experience.

More about this rescue

Second Chance Dog Rescue was formed to fulfill a desperate need in the community to Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home homeless dogs from the over-crowded local shelters, and from families who can no longer take care of their dogs (on a case-by-case basis only).

Our program is based on foster care, and all rescued dogs spend their first days at a loving foster home where they receive personalized care. As part of our program, we ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, are spayed or neutered, and have been socialized by their foster family. In addition, Second Chance Dog Rescue provides support for potential new owners and monitors progress for both new pet parents and their adopted dogs. This helps guarantee that our dogs go to good, loving, forever homes.
