Story
Meet Sophie!! A 9‑year‑old Maltese mix who’s basically a professional snuggler with a part‑time walking buddy side hustle.  She may be a little “who are you?” at first, but give her a minute and she’ll turn into your tiny shadow and very best friend, happily following you room to room (especially if belly rubs are on the agenda). Sophie is house‑trained, crate‑trained, gets along with other dogs, and would love a home where someone is around most of the time. So basically perfect! Sophie is 15 lbs, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and has had a dental cleaning — ready to move right in.  No cats please! No apartment living. No out of state adoptions.

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 Sarah! Sarah is a 4-year-old, 13-pound Maltipoo with a gentle spirit and an easygoing personality. If you’re someone who appreciates a calm, low-drama lifestyle, Sarah might just be your perfect match. She’s happiest simply being near her person, whether that’s joining you for a peaceful morning stroll around the neighborhood or curling up beside you for a cozy afternoon of binge-watching your favorite shows. Sarah is smart, affectionate, and wonderfully well-mannered. She’s both house trained and leash trained, making her an easy addition to your daily routine. She also gets along beautifully with other dogs and would be happy in a home with furry siblings or soaking up all the love as your one-and-only. With her sweet nature and steady companionship, Sarah is the kind of dog who brings quiet joy to everyday moments. She’s ready to find a forever family to love and to love her right back. She is microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines. Her 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.  February 27, 2026, 11:24 am
