Story

Meet Benny! Benny is a fun-loving companion who oozes affection! Quick to trust and play, he has yet to meet a dog he doesn’t adore. He has not been cat tested, and it is recommended to introduce small dogs slowly due to his exuberance for more friends. His foster family has three dogs of ranging sizes and Benny is getting the hang of reading the pack social cues. He knows sit and paw and is working on down and settle. Benny is eager to please and would benefit from more training. On walks, he does well on leash but might fixate on the occasional squirrel. Benny enjoys a good car ride due to his curiosity and willingness to explore. He is calm and confident on social outings but most of all, Benny loves being outside and going on daily walks, if you’re looking for a loving adventure partner, Benny is your guy!

Story

Ready to partaaaay? I`m Confetti, and I`ll be honest, I`m kind of the introvert at the party, sitting in the corner waiting to go home and snuggle up on the couch. I`m a shy girl, but I`m as sweet as can be and warm up quickly. I also have a big brain behind these pretty baby blue eyes - I know sit, down, shake, and even spin! Because of this repertoire of tricks, the staff believes I`m likely housebroken, too. After I show off my tricks, I`ll roll over and politely ask for belly rubs. I`ve been respectful of the other dogs I`ve met in passing and think I will continue to do well with them with slow and proper introductions. I`m ready for the ultimate celebration - the day I get adopted. Is today that day? Ask to meet me!

Story

Updated 12/5/2025: Jackson is a sweet, silly hound mix. He was born in late June 2022 and has reached his full-grown size at about 75 pounds. We do not know his exact breed mix. The adoption fee for Jackson is $200. He has been neutered and microchipped. He's receiving monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Jackson did fantastic with crate training as he recovered from his neuter. He's quite smart and followed another dog through the doggie door right away. He's friendly and picks up on things quickly. Jackson is patiently waiting for a forever family. He was first listed here in November 2022; he's been in the foster program so long that he recently had another annual exam and received his 3-year rabies and distemper/lepto vaccines. Jackson is a playful, adventurous and athletic pup. He'll need some continued work on leash-walking. (He hasn't had much practice and can be a bit of a bowling ball - but he's certainly willing to learn!) His ideal home would have a large, fenced yard (6-foot) so he can sniff, explore and zoom. (He has not been introduced to young children or cats.) He lives with his sister, Sioux, and can be a bit food aggressive towards her. He might do best as an only dog. There's a video of him romping with 3 of his siblings here: https://youtu.be/BoszRFevA7M (He has one sister, Sioux, who is also still available for adoption.) If you want more information about Jackson, call or text Jody at 352-316-5155 or email her at SCRWestLevy@gmail.com. Thanks for your interest in adopting - and for your patience as we are an all-volunteer rescue! (We do keep our posts current! Sometimes we have to repost a pup when an adoption falls through. Thanks for understanding.) - - - - - PS. Second Chance Rescue posts our pets on AdoptAPet.com.

Story

UPDATE 5/11/23: Coco saw the vet today and is a healthy girl. She is still heartworm negative and is on Simparica Trio. She was found to have one hookworm on her fecal so we have given her a drontal. She does need to lose a few pounds but she is a happy girl who would really love to have her forever home. Coco walks well on a leash and rides well (needs some help loading up though). She is good with other dogs and kids but does not like cats. She has been with us for over 2 years now and has become a much calmer dog as she has gotten older. She would make a wonderful family companion! UPDATE: 11/3/21- COCO WAS ADOPTED BUT WAS RETURNED TO US. SHE (Supposedly) WAS NOT GETTING ALONG WITH THE RESIDENT DOG BUT IT HAD ONLY BEEN ONE DAY SO IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME FOR HER TO DECOMPRESS AND ADJUST OR IT COULD BE THAT COCO DIDNT WANT TO SHARE (THEIR MEET AND GREET WENT WELL HERE AT THE RESCUE THOUGH) .. It may have been the resident dog as well who did not want a sister or to share her home and family. We really do not know what really happened in the adoptive home. Coco is approx 1 year old and we think that she is a catahoula/terrier mix weighing 52 pounds, as of 4/7/2021. Coco was surrendered by her owner. They had originally found Coco as a stray by the side of the road when she was about 3 months old and although they had her since she was a puppy, she probably did not get much socialization growing up and became an outside, yard dog basically. Her owner stated that she had become destructive and was chewing up the wood and cable wires on their rented house. Their landlord was very unhappy about this and told them that Coco had to go or they would be evicted so they surrendered her to keep their home. Most likely, Coco had become bored which resulted in the chewing and destructive behavior. We think that she just needs an outlet for her youthful energy and also needs to become an inside dog, which would probably also help to curb the boredom by being a part of her family's everyday life. Coco can be standoffish at first when meeting new people so she would not be a dog to be run up on and immediately be your friend although she does warm up pretty quickly. It took her a couple of days to decompress once she arrived at the rescue but she is starting to settle in and learn that we mean her no harm. Coco can also be protective so it is advised that she get into an obedience training program and get exposed to different situations and people as often as possible to make her more comfortable in new situations and around new faces. Coco was raised with kids and other dogs and her owner said she did great with both however, we recommend no small children and only kids who can give her her space initially until she becomes comfortable with them and her new home. Her owner stayed that Coco hates cats and will prey upon them so absolutely no cats in the home. She will need frequent walks or a fenced in yard where she can expend her energy. She is still very young, at only about 1 year old, so she has time to grow into a well rounded dog. She is not housebroken, considering that she was pretty much an outside only dog so you will need to work with her on that and just be patient with her as she discovers what being a part of the family really means. Often, we see very different dogs once they get settled into their new home and become a part of something instead of being left to their own devices and we believe that this will be true for Coco, as well. We will be working with her as much as we can but we don't get a lot of outside visitors so, although we will win her trust, it will be difficult to expose her to a variety of different situations like she would get with an adoptive family. Coco's adoption fee will be $175 and will help to cover her vetting and cost of daily care while with us. If interested in giving Coco her forever home, please submit your interest and adoption application via email or you may TEXT only to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number) or FB message us for more info or to set up a day/time to meet her.

Story

UPDATE: Cookie was returned to us on 4/5/23. She had been re-adopted by her original owner but unfortunately, after several months of trying to make it work,they were unable to. Cookie no longer got along with their cats and was wanting to eat them. Cookie needs a home without cats but she does very well with other dogs. Cookie is a quirky girl. She does have trust issues and can be fear reactive but once you win her over, she is a very loyal and loving dog to people. She has always seemed to do well with children..it is only grown people, and particularly men, that she is leery of. She will require a special type of person who can give her space and patience while she learns that she is safe with you. Cookie does not show well because of this guarded behavior but she is a great dog once she trusts you! She walked right back into our home like she never left so she doesn't forget either. Cookie was brought to us with 2 small female dachshunds (both adopted). Cookie is believed to be approx 5 years old and a catahoula/lab mix weighing in at 52.2 pounds as of 5/18/21, when she saw the vet and received a clean bill of health and was updated on her yearly vetting. Cookie was originally adopted from a kill shelter by her former owner. She had to give her and the other dogs up because they moved and were only allowed to keep 2 of their pets so they had to make the hard decision of choosing between them. All of the dogs were super scared initially coming into rescue and basically freaked out. (It was a good thing that Cookie was not relinquished back to the shelter as she may have been put down because of her initial behavior).. The dachshunds settled in after about a week but Cookie had jerked the leash out of my husband's hands from fighting so hard to get away that first night and ran around our yard for 2 weeks, not letting us get close enough to catch her.She was THAT scared! Poor Cookie FINALLY started getting closer and closer as she saw that we were safe and that the other dogs trusted us so she decided to give us a chance. I went outside and left my house door open. Cookie came close to me but still hung just out of reach. She then did something I had hoped for..she went inside. My husband closed that door and we had her! Th transformation was instantaneous. Within minutes, she wanted our attention, bu that night, she was coming to us on her own, within a day,we couldn't leave her sight. Now, she looks for us and follows us everywhere. She can go outside off leash without fear of her not coming back in because now she WANTS to be in WITH us! This girl has been thru so much. We were told that her former owner suspected she had been abused prior to her adopting her from the shelter and she certainly behaved like she had a mistrust for people,initially. However, once this girl trusts you, you have a friend for life! She adores children and is great with other dogs..large and small. She has done fantastic in the house with the exception of getting on our table when we leave. Its only when we leave though so I think she is looking for us. She may have a touch of separation anxiety so a home where someone is home most of the time or where she can go with you would be her ideal. She isn't extractive if left alone though and probably if our table wasn't by the window, she wouldn't try to look for us but this girl is smart! She is also quite well behaved. She walks on a leash (we learned that a harness is best for her,especially initially).I really only have great things to say about this girl. If you can get over that initial hurdle of building that bond of trust, you will have a loyal friend for life! She also is a good watchdog and will bark to announce visitors so great dog for a single person or someone who may not feel secure at home.We greatly advise getting her out and about to get her comfortable in new situations and with new people. Its always beneficial to them not to feel stressed in unfamiliar places and with unfamiliar faces. All in all, a great dog who just needs understanding and some space and patience initially. Love and understanding will win this girl over everytime! If interested in giving Cookie her forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Cookie's adoption fee will be $175 to help cover the cost of her vetting and daily care while with us.

I put infant young child because I didn't know what to put down. This is Perry he is a sweet boy. Looking for a home or even just a foster home for now till my other male dog passes. Due to my other male dog being aggressive to Perry I want him to go to someone he will be safe with. He deserves to be safe and happy. Id love to still be able to see him or hear about him from time to time if possible but mainly just want him to live a happy life away from from the other boy. He is good with kids and cats. I have two kids and 4 cats and another female dogs and of course the other male dog.
