Story

Calling tiny dog lovers! If you think miniature pumpkins are the cutest thing ever, do we have the girl for you. Pumpkin came to us on Thanksgiving day as a stray who was sadly likely abandoned, then was adopted, but that sadly hasn't worked out and now she's back with us. We've since learned this teeny gal needs a quiet, adult-only home, preferably one that doesn't have a ton of company coming over. She's nervous when first meeting people, but if given time to warm up, she's loving and loyal and has the potential to be as sweet as pumpkin pie with extra whipped cream. This dachshund mix gal is about 2 years old. She's good with cats, and would probably do best as the only dog, as she doesn't love to share her toys. She loves to play like a wild woman when she thinks no one is watching, but gets a little bashful when she knows you're spying. If given the time, patience and love she deserves, Pumpkin will become your trusted confidant, your biggest fan and your BFF for life. Pumpkin is spayed, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. Apply to adopt your new best friend on our website (link in bio) or at the sanctuary any time we're open. Call 570-376-3646 or email secondchanceas@yahoo.com with any questions. >>> PA kennel license #04944

Story

BRODY Brody is ready to be your bestest brotato, your favoritest brochacho, and your loviest bromance! What we mean is that this brindle beefcake is ultimate BFF material. Don't believe us? The critics agree. "Pretty perfect," says our canine manager. "So sweet and gentle," says a board member. "He loves all the attention," says a dog volunteer. Basically, everyone loves Brody, and Brody loves everyone. It's a wonder how this 2 or 3-year-old guy ended up as an unclaimed stray found with porcupine quills in his muzzle, but we're so glad he landed here. He loves people of all ages, and is good with other dogs, cats and kids. He's indeed a sweet, well-mannered gentleman, but he has some fun, playful spunk in him. He loves to snuggle, he's good on the leash, takes treats gently, and he's housetrained. Brody is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines.

Story

Milford Milford is a handsome 3 year old terrier/hound mix weighing about 51 pounds, and while he’s safe now, his life before rescue was anything but normal. Coming from a local hoarding situation, he missed out on so many of the simple things every dog deserves — toys, treats, belly rubs, naps on the couch, and knowing what it feels like to truly belong to someone. Watching him slowly figure all of that out has been pretty incredible for all of us at the rescue He’s still learning to trust new people and new situations, but once he lets you in, he loves you with his whole little heart and soul! He wants to be close to his person, whether that’s going for walks, hanging out in the yard, or just leaning into you for pets after a long day. You can tell he’s finally starting to understand that life can be safe, gentle, and full of love. He’s making great progress with leash walking, especially considering he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it when he first arrived. Crate training is coming along too, although he’d definitely rather be near his people than separated from them. Car rides are still a little scary unless you’re reassuring him the whole way and maybe holding his paw So far he appears dog friendly, and because he’s still adjusting to this whole new world, older respectful dog-savvy kids would probably be best for him. He needs someone patient enough to show him that the rest of his life is going to look a whole lot different than the first part did. Someone to give him toys, adventures, belly rubs, and unconditional love he’s gone without for far too long. If this is you and you can give Milford his happily ever after, apply today!

Story

Meet Sherman Sherman is a 2 year old Min Pin/Beagle mix who we rescued from a local hoarding situation and is finally getting the chance to learn what a normal, happy dog life looks like. At 23 pounds, he’s equal parts goofy, active, and loving. He can be a little timid with new people at first due to his past lacking socialization, but give him some patience and he’ll become your little shadow. Once Sherman trusts you, he is ALL in. This guy is looking for an active home because he loves to run, play, and show off his zoomies! Potty training is going GREAT, leash walking is improving, and while he still has work to do on crate training, he’s learning how to relax and enjoy life now. We’re thinking older, respectful dog-savvy kids may be the best fit while he continues building his confidence. Sherman has come a long way already — now he just needs someone willing to give him the chance he’s never really had before and offer a patience and love to help his adjust to his happily ever after.
