My story

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

Dr. Pepper 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 dperezsaar@cox.net or call 619-884-6435 for more information or to meet Dr. Pepper.

Meet Dr. Pepper — Small Dog, Big Personality, Bigger Heart 

Dr. Pepper is a 3-year-old, 11-pound sweetheart who’s ready to love life with his forever family! Once he feels safe, his fun, spunky side comes shining through — he loves toys, zoomies, and soaking up affection. He’s playful, silly, and full of personality, but also knows how to relax and enjoy a good cuddle.

He’s affectionate and loyal — a true little shadow who loves being close to his person. He’s even enjoyed playing with other gentle dogs once he’s comfortable!

Dr. Pepper would do best in a calm, child-free home with a securely fenced yard. Having his own yard helps him feel safe and confident for potty breaks and playtime. He’s house trained and also uses potty pads if needed. He takes daily fluoxetine to help with confidence and continues to blossom beautifully.

Dr. Pepper isn’t an adventure dog — he’s a cozy homebody who loves soft blankets, sunshine, and people who understand that the best things in life are calm and full of love.

If you’re looking for a small dog with a huge heart and a dash of sass, Dr. Pepper is your guy!

If you are interested in meeting Dr. Pepper, please email dperezsaar@cox.net or call 619-884-6435 for more information.

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.
