Second Chance Mushers

Second Chance Mushers SCM is a sanctuary home for unwanted Northern Breed Dogs. This is what Second Chance Mushers (SCM) is all about. I dog sled for FUN! Sarah and the Pups

My name is Sarah, and my life is all about dogs, dog sledding, and making a difference. I run with a dog sled team entirely made out of rescued dogs. Each one has come to me over a period of time and each one with its own reason of being surrendered. There are 25 dogs in my care presently as sanctuary dogs. It's for the dog's enjoyment as well as mine. Each dog lives in my home, they are my family

. It's not uncommon to come to my home and not be able to find a place to sit because the pups only like soft, comfy couches. Second Chance Mushers Rescue is a sanctuary/rescue. Every dog at the SCM home is a rescue dog and all belong to the sanctuary. SCM is a non-profit sanctuary rescue with the hopes of one day having a facility that allows foster dogs for adoption. These dogs are my family and mean the world to me. I like to share our journey through life on this page which may be filled with happiness, sorrow, or laughter. Just hope you all enjoy it as well.

Meal prep Sunday!!

Today’s combination is a mixture of different meats and about 30 eggs from our own coop.
This is not meant to be balanced or a meal. It is freezer clean outs that are donated to the Pups. I typically grab whatever is on top of the freezer to thaw out before cooking.

Once it cools off I throw it in a food processor. With meals, I scoop up about a half-gallon of the mixture and add warm water. I serve it over their kibble to add as a meal topper. It adds additional protein and fats to the dogs who are putting in the miles on the dog sled team. It provides additional flavoring for the older dog’s food. (They don’t get as much as the youngsters to protect their tummies)

Going to be more proactive this up coming year by stocking our freezers. I didn’t do meat chickens or turkeys last year as I did the year before, so going to do that. Try out fishing as they really love fish.
Get the garden running this year and stock with veggies the Pups love. Also, store the apples from our trees in our root cellar 💜🐾

And get dog sled rides up and going next year. Two years without them, hits us hard.

Huskey and Phoenix here are ready for it to be done 😂

Sweet baby U-Turn is back to herself. She actually has been feeling well for a number of days. U-Turn is back to climbing up my leg for a spoonful of canned food when I hand out daily medications to the kiddos.
The Pomsky terror is back to causing havoc 😂

I forgot to make a holiday post for our Christmas gifts I dropped off in honor of Shiloh.

There was an Amazon wish list set up specifically for Christmas items to drop off to shelters for the pups there. I was overwhelmed with your response and kindness with how much we received. Thank you for honoring Shiloh by allowing other dogs to have wonderful gifts around the holidays and to keep them entertained until they find their forever homes.

Here are three of the boxes I dropped off to Antrim County Animal Control. There were treats from the Barkery, some of the SCMR’s favorite toys called Hide-a-Squirriel, and so much more. I focused on enrichment toys, such as treat ball dispensers, freeze bones, and stocked them full of KONG fillers to make their days fun.

Thank you all for honoring Shiloh and to keep her memory alive.

Thank you for stocking our Pet Pantry as well which is open on weekends. We have lots of dog/cat food, treats, and canned food. Free to who needs it for their animals.

I just ask you do not share to overheard pages as people there are unkind (not all, but most) and I don’t care for that at our home. Thank you!

Feel you all deserve an explanation for why my anger is still so strong. It was the information provided to me at the end of November. It is very raw to me, to understand how the system can just fail so profoundly….so I’m angry.

Can you guess who’s big schnauze is behind me? He just knocked the Christmas tree over in the background before climbing on the couch 🤦🏻‍♀️

When Arlo came to me, he was about as beaten down as the world could’ve possibly made him. It took me a while to gain his trust, but I gained it because Shiloh helped. She helped to teach Arlo, that I wasn’t someone to be afraid of. I don’t think Arlo would’ve become the dog he is today without Shiloh.

She should be here.

The truth of that day is known to the prosecutor’s office and all I wish is that they would honor it.

Meet the team while I had them stopped for a water break 💜🐾

I absolutely love being able to get away from the house and go out with the dogs.

I recognize, though that every time I drive home, the anger, hatred, and rage for that man just boils beneath my skin.

While my peace is very short-lived, at least it is a break.

Someone told me that I have until my dying day to forgive him ….. because I absolutely do not have it in any ounce of my body or mind to do it right now.

The punching bag has been my only gateway to release the anger. I hate him with a passion of a million armies and I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon.

Seems I have to provide some Facebook education every day 🤦🏻‍♀️

As I stated in the video, the golf cart is always under power. They could easily drag it if they wanted and they have a couple times. I skid to stops before the brakes can slow them to engage and stop.

They are a power to be reckoned with folks 😂

So little baby blue golf cart doesn’t have a windshield. I was in a hurry yesterday and couldn’t find my snow goggles. Needless to say, it was a brutal run 😂
