Story
Jack is a gentle, deeply sensitive boy who is learning what it means to feel safe. He came to us severely underweight and unsocialized after spending most of his life outdoors with little positive human interaction. 🐾 Excellent with dogs — they are his greatest source of comfort 🐱 Great with cats — ignores them completely ❤️ Very submissive, quiet, and gentle 🥺 Fearful of people but has never shown aggression 🏡 Learning house manners and leash skills 🍽️ Doing much better with softened food while he recovers 🩺 Currently undergoing heartworm treatment Jack needs a quiet, patient, experienced home, preferably with a confident, friendly dog to help show him the ropes. He doesn’t need to be rushed—he needs someone willing to give him time, space, and patience while he learns that people can be trusted. Jack is not broken. He’s just finally getting the chance to learn what love and safety feel like.

Story
     Meet Cosmo!    Hi friends! My name is Cosmo, and I’m a big happy guy with an even bigger heart. I love people, and I’m pretty sure everyone I meet is my new best friend!   My favorite things include making people smile, wagging my tail like crazy, and spreading happiness everywhere I go.   Right now I’m looking for a loving forever home, but I could also really use an indoor foster home while I wait for my family to find me.   If you’ve been thinking about opening your home to a sweet, joyful dog… I might just be your guy.    Please consider fostering or adopting Cosmo through Dogs 2nd Chance and help this big sweetheart get the happy ending he deserves.  dogs2ndchance.org/adoption-application-form/ September 1, 2026, 12:11 am

Story
Updated 3Aug25 **Meet Kiko - The Couch Potato Connoisseur! ** Hi, my name is Kiko! Am I not the most handsome boy you've ever seen? If you enjoy quiet days and evenings snacking on the couch while watching Hallmark Christmas movies, look no further-I'm your perfect partner in crime! While I do enjoy my leisurely walks (think stroll, not sprint) and sniffing all the great smells outside, I'm also content to just lay at your feet or engage in a serious squeaky toy chewing session. Now, let's talk about snacks-I'm a bit of a connoisseur! I have a refined palate and can definitely tell the difference between a yummy treat and a green bean. Sneak a green bean by me, and I'll give you the side-eye of disapproval! *Car Rides and Social Skills* I also love car rides and being wherever you are! Just picture it: you, me, the open road, and a playlist of our favorite tunes. I'm the older guy looking for my next person to bond with. My prior owner was busy, busy, busy, which made me anxious and uncomfortable-too much excitement for my laid-back lifestyle! I can be a bit hesitant around new people, so I might take my time to warm up to you. If I'm not feeling social (which is often), I'll be perfectly content in my cozy kennel with my favorite stuffed carrot. I'm house-trained, love gentle pets and ear scratches, but I'm not really a cuddler. While I enjoy being near my people, I prefer to keep my personal space-think of me as a charming companion who values independence! *Training and Bonding* I know how to sit like a good boy and have fantastic recall-just call my name, and I'll come sauntering over like I'm the star of a slow-motion movie! I spent some time at Champion Farms in November 2023, where everyone learned a lot about me. I take a little time to warm up, but once I do, I bond faster than you can say "treat time! A quiet home suits me best, but one where I can still enjoy short leash walks with my person is ideal. My new human should possess some leadership qualities to ensure healthy boundaries-after all, I bond deeply with my favorite humans! Oh, and here's the cherry on top: My next home will receive a free in-home session with Edgar at The Champion Farm to ensure you get started on the right foot together. Think of it as a training montage for our buddy cop movie!

Story
Ginger was stuck in a drainage ditch. It was hard to get her out so animal control had to assist me. She was lifted out of a 25ft ditch by slip leads and treats. She is trained to do tricks and is very loving and easy going. She plays well with other dogs and is very friendly. Walks well on leash rides good in cars and is of the Hearding breed types and has some of those traits. Knows some commands. Great dog!
