Mama December found herself on the euthanasia list at a South Texas shelter due to a broken leg that was mangled beyond repair. She arrived with several little puppies, all of whom have since found homes.
No one came for December, so we committed to her rescue to ensure she would not be put to sleep. She went into temporary foster care with a local veterinarian in Texas, where she underwent a rear leg amputation. She has now recovered from surgery and is ready for a more permanent foster or adopter. Finding her a place to go will also open this foster home for the next urgent dog in Texas, making this just as important.
December is a young, mid-sized shepherd mix. She is learning life as a tripod and seems to be adapting well. She is currently in a foster home with several dogs and cats and is getting along nicely with everyone.
Please let us know if you would consider fostering or adopting this sweet girl. She is a really nice dog!

More about this rescue
Since 2017, our dedicated team of volunteers has rescued thousands of dogs, focusing on giving second chances to the injured, abandoned, and overlooked. Building on years of experience under a different organization, Second Start Rescue is a new start that strengthens our commitment to saving lives and expanding our impact.
Second Start Rescue was co-founded by Jennifer Aufdenberg and a team of animal advocates and supporters who share a passion for animal welfare. As a co-founder of Shenandoah Shepherd Rescue (SSR), Jennifer and a dedicated group of individuals helped rescue over 3,500 dogs, primarily shepherds, from high-kill shelters and difficult circumstances. This work in SSR laid the foundation for a community of supporters and volunteers dedicated to giving dogs a second chance at life.
Our mission centers on rescuing and rehabilitating dogs from the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) of Texas, an area with one of the highest rates of animal abandonment in the country. While shepherds are our primary focus, we extend our care to any dog in critical need, prioritizing those who face the greatest challenges.
With Second Start Rescue, we’re doubling down on our efforts to address the root causes of animal homelessness. Our goals include implementing spay and neuter programs, offering community outreach and education, and providing compassionate care to every animal we rescue. Together, we aim to create lasting change for dogs, their communities, and the people who love them.
