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 Bow!  Bow is a one year old, 14 pound Schnauzer/Cairn Terrier mix. Bow is an energetic youngster who loves to run around and play with chew toys. He is crate trained and sleeps through the night and does very well being left at home for an hour or two in his crate with no barking. He is mostly potty trained, having had just a few accidents at his foster home. He does great with the two resident dogs at his foster home and responds to their cues very well. He walks pretty well on a leash. He is very fearful of strangers—both humans and dogs—when on walks. He barks aggressively, and though he does not bite, he does lunge and nip at people's ankles or clothing. After a few minutes of being around someone new he calms down and is fine. It's only been a week since he's been out of the shelter and he is showing signs of improvement. He will need training to work on this behavior. He would do best in a household with lots of opportunity for exercise and play each day. 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.
