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 Sweetie! Sweetie is an approximately 6 year old, 28 lb Terrier mix. This sweet angel has clearly had a tough life prior to being rescued as she at times struggles being around dogs in public areas. She has made great progress in this area. At home, she is peaceful, loves to snuggle, rarely barks, doesn’t shed, and fully house trained. She is a good eater and enjoys mealtime. She enjoys her peace & solitude and appreciates lounging and long naps. Sweetie would be best served in a home with a strong alpha owner as she responds well to firm boundaries. She loves spending time with her human(s) but also appreciates time alone lounging and napping. Her current foster dad works from home and describes her as the lowest maintenance dog he has ever had. She sleeps up to 12 hours a day, and loves walking between 2 and 6 miles per day.   Can you give Sweetie the life she deserves? She is spayed, microchipped and current on vaccines. Her 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.
