Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield

09/21/2025

🎉🐾 Please join us in wishing the happiest of birthdays to our incredible Director, Lisa! 🐾🎉

Lisa pours her heart into this rescue every single day. She leads with vision, strength, and compassion—not just for the dogs, but for every volunteer, foster, and supporter who makes up this family. She’s the reason we can take on the hard cases, open our doors to the forgotten, and keep moving forward even when the work feels overwhelming.

Her leadership is steady, her belief in second chances is unwavering, and her love for these dogs inspires us all to give a little more of ourselves.

Lisa, we’re so grateful for you—for the way you guide us, the way you fight for the voiceless, and the way you never give up hope. Today, we celebrate YOU. 🥳🐶💐

💜🐾 A huge thank you to the amazing young ladies from TCU who came out to serve today! 💜🐾

They spent their morning walking dogs, helping us clean up the warehouse, and of course…puppy playtime (the best part, as you’ll see in the pictures below 😍).

We are so grateful for their energy, kindness, and willingness to jump right in wherever needed. The dogs soaked up every minute of the extra attention, and our rescue home is a little brighter thanks to them.

Go Frogs & Go Rescue Dogs! 🐶✨

🐾✨ Welcome Home, Buster, Pax & Spin! ✨🐾

There’s no better feeling than seeing our pups head home — and this week, we get to celebrate not one, not two, but THREE happy tails! 🎉

💙 Buster – Our goofy boy who kept us laughing with his silly personality finally has a family to match his big heart.
💙 Pax – The sweetest soul who has been waiting so patiently will now know love, security, and all the snuggles.
💙 Spin – Our little ball of energy has landed in a home that’s ready for all the adventures ahead.

These moments are what we work for, what YOU make possible, and what our pups dream about every night in rescue. 🏡💞

Help us shower their new families with love in the comments below — because today, three of our babies finally got their second chance! 🐶🎊

💙🐾 What. A. Day. 🐾💙

The generosity that has poured in today—and truthfully, every day—leaves us in awe. We don’t do this alone. We win together. YOU are just as much a part of this team as those of us on the frontlines with the dogs.

You’ve stood with us in the hard things—helping us cover emergency vet bills, fostering when we had nowhere else to turn, donating when it mattered most. But you’ve also stood with us in the easy but powerful things—sharing our posts, telling your friends, neighbors, and coworkers about us, inviting us to your events, and partnering with us for your causes. Every single piece matters. Every action moves us forward.

We cannot, and will not, win this fight without BOTH of us—our boots on the ground and your hearts standing with us.

And tonight, as we close in on the final 2 hours of North Texas Giving Day, we are 62% of the way to our stretch goal of $20,000. The dogs we unexpectedly took in today are counting on us. They came to us with unknowns, with no proper vetting yet, with an uncertain road ahead—but we saved them anyway. That is what this is all about.

💔💪 Saving them no matter what. Together.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time, this is it. The clock is ticking. The need is real. The dogs are here.

👉 ‼️DONATE NOW before midnight: https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Scdr-1

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you for doing this hard, beautiful, life-saving work with us. We couldn’t do it without you.

🐾 Dale’s Story – The Unexpected Ones Deserve a Chance 🐾

One of the things we’ve learned in rescue is that the dogs who come to us are rarely expected. They show up in the most surprising ways.

For Dale, it was a Kennedale police officer who spotted him roaming alone as a very young puppy. He wasn’t chipped, no family ever claimed him, and suddenly—he was ours. An unexpected life now in our hands.

We did what we always do: got him fully vetted, cared for, and ready for the family we believed was out there. But Dale struggled. He was vocal (that bark was unforgettable!) and a bit of an instigator in the rescue environment. And on the outside? Just a “plain” lab mix. Not flashy. Not different. Easily overlooked.

But behind all that was a dog desperate to be loved. And eventually, one of our foster families—who also volunteers with us—saw what everyone else had missed. Today Dale is thriving, living his best life, and proof that the “ordinary” ones often become the most extraordinary companions when given the chance. ❤️

The truth is, Dale’s story isn’t rare—it’s what we see every day. Unexpected arrivals. Plain Jane dogs overlooked again and again. But with care, vetting, and patience, they bloom.

✨ Right now, we’re working to raise $20,000 so we can keep saying “yes” to the Dales of the world. Your gift makes it possible to take in the unexpected, give them medical care, and help them reach their full potential.

👉 🙏🏻👏🏻🎉WE’RE AT $12K! Donate today and help us reach our goal: https://www.northtexasgivingday.org/organization/Scdr-1

Because behind every overlooked dog is a story waiting to change your life.
