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 Puffin, a real life stuffed animal that loves his people, toys, cuddling, and barking at strangers. He is a 3 year old, 9 pound Pomeranian. With a little time and patience, Puffin quickly becomes a super sweet shadow. Puffin is picking up house training quickly using the "tether" technique. He sleeps through the night and springs up to greet you in the morning. It's truly an adorable way to start your day. He does well in his crate when left alone and when in the car. Puffin is working on his reactivity towards humans and dogs. We think it comes from a place of under-socialization and fear, but he's learning that being quiet means treats, and he walks well on the leash otherwise. We have not seen Puffin interact with kids or cats. Give this wind up fluff ball a chance - Puffin will be your loyal pal and bring everyday cuteness to your life! He is microchipped and up to date on all his vaccines. 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.
