My story

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

ATTENTION:  All of our dogs are in private foster homes.  We do NOT have a kennel with multiple dogs.  If you find a dog you want to meet in person, please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application.    We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt.


Meet River ! Your Big Fluffy Gentle Giant! River is a 1.5-year-young, 112 pound male Great Pyrenees with a heart as soft as his beautiful white coat. This sweet boy adores people, kids, and other dogs, and would thrive in a home that understands and loves the wonderful quirks of a big, fluffy guardian breed. River is hoping for a home with space to roam, explore, and sunbathe, his absolute favorite pastime. He’d also be thrilled to have a dog companion his size to play and ruffle with, though it's not required. He’s leash trained, potty trained, and kennel trained, and he already knows sit and has great recall. River is affectionate, social, and always ready for pets, cuddles, or simply lounging near his people. River would be a perfect match for an owner or family with large-breed experience who’s ready for a loyal, loving, playful giant. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a goofy, loving spirit, River is your boy. He is up to date on shots, neutered, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $300.


All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to  www.secondchancedogrescue.org  and complete an application today!    All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

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.

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.
