Story
Reese's is a 2-year-old boy with a bit of a shy side-especially when meeting new people-but once he feels comfortable, his playful and loving nature shines through. He may need a little time to warm up, but once he does, he's an affectionate and fun companion who will quickly become your loyal friend. This independent pup has a big love for toys, especially tug-of-war, and he's always ready to play a game or two. He knows how to sit on command and enjoys being mentally engaged with interactive play. Reese's can be a little pushy at times, so he'd do best with an experienced owner who can give him the guidance and structure he needs to thrive. Reese's is a bit selective with his dog friends, and while he does well with some dogs, he may not be a good fit for a home with cats or young children. He's happiest in a calm environment where he can enjoy his toys, work on his training, and build a strong bond with his person. If you're looking for a dog who's independent, smart, and playful, and you have experience with shy or pushy pups, Reese's might be the perfect match. With patience and understanding, he'll reward you with love, loyalty, and plenty of fun times. Come meet Reese's today and see if you're the right person to help him grow into the best companion he can be!

Story
Updated 2/2/2025: 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.

Hey I'm Cashew. Aren't I handsome? I came here when my owner was having some financial issues and the friends I made here learned quickly that I love treats and a good butt scratch! Sometimes I can be a little awkward around new people, but it doesn't take too long for me to warm up to you! As long as you have some yummy treats, of course. I'm ready to meet and find my furever home!

My names Earl Grey, and much like the tea I have a pretty relaxed and chill vibe! I do great in the car and love spending time outside. But I'm sure I'd appreciate a couch to laze around on, too! Also, I do great with other dogs and love to socialize! I hope I get to see you soon!

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.
