COURTESY POST- Not SCDogs.

Please help us find the perfect home filled with love, care and a space to run and play!

These two dogs are best friends and would like to stay together if possible.
Willow Grace is a Blue Healer and Aussie is an Australian Shepard.
They have good manners, they love to play and they only bark when protecting the house from possible intruders or when you come home from work!
They are also quick to stop barking if you ask them to stop.
They know how to sit, give you their paw and are good listeners.

The home they are coming from will be interviewing possible owners to make sure they go to someone who will take care of them and give them the space they deserve.
Please comment below if you're interested. Thank you.

Hi friends and followers.

We need your help and foster for a little pom, corgie, chihuahua mix 4 year old dog. Freiya weighs under 10 lbs. Tricolor. In Tacoma Wa.

She is Housebroken and will be spayed in April. She has a vet appointment for booster shots next week.
She is very shy and scared having been crated since covid but she will scratch on her kennel cage door to let you know she needs to go outside.
The large family she came from is surrendering her due to small apartment and a child who is allergic to her. Because she had been undersocialized and crated , She takes a day to warm up.
Her temp foster says she does better with women as the owners boyfriend would kick her.
Because of her timid nature we recommend she be in a home with no children, Needs a fenced yard and loves to get under the covers.
Freiya would love a quiet home with patience to let her come to you. She is crate trained. She is good with other little dogs with slow introduction.
Loving, protective and like velcrow...please consider fostering Freiya.

Time for a Happy Tails announcement! Remember when we were looking for a foster home so we could save this sweet girl?
This girl went from rags to riches!
Cooper, who is only 3 years old lived on a chain the first couple years of her life. She was abused and neglected. Her old owner had kept a metal wire around her back legs and the wire had grown into her skin.
We took her into rescue with the help of a foster and her foster mom got her groomed right away (as she stunk so bad) and the ladies that groomed her said she just soaked up all the attention. We also spayed, Vaccinated and microchipped her.
While in foster care she really opened up and became the sweetest, playful
and loving dog.
Last weekend she had a meet and greet and it was a perfect match!
She loves her family and is so happy she's actually a member of a family where she lives inside with them. She goes to doggy daycare every week which she loves playing with the other dogs. When she gets home she is worn out and cuddles with her family members. We could not be more happier for this sweet, deserving girl! This is what rescuing is all about, and we couldn't do it without our Foster's.
We want to say THANK YOU to all of our foster people! We love you and do not take you for granted. 🥰💕
Cheers to Cooper who is now Ruby. Go live your best life and have fun!!❤️❤️❤️

This is Boogie. He is a 7 year old neutered vaccinated loving, sweet, loyal Boerboel(south aftrican mastiff).
This is a courtesy post as Boogie is looking for a new forever home due to new life changes per his owners. He is not a Second Chance Dog.
If you are interested in fostering him please send us a message otherwise please call the owner who needs to find him a new home.
Callies p # 2068197895 in Bellingham.

Big loveable Boogie weighs 130lbs. He would love to be in a home with a fenced yard, no young children, as an only dog or with a chill female dog.

He is a gentle giant. A couch potato who doesn't need to be walked alot. He loves to be next to his owners and a cuddler.
He will help you dig in the yard, lay in the dirt and snore all paws up in the air sleeping on his back.

Whole he may experience some separation anxiety initially, with patience and a gentle routine he will adjust quickly with his new family. Please consider this handsome sweet boy.

We are soo happy for Solar.
We were able to raise $1,040 to go towards his board and train. ❤️
Thank you everyone that was able to donate. We appreciate you so much.
We would love to be able to raise another $500 for the family, so if you can donate to help Solar, that would be a big blessing for the family.
Board and Train is expensive because it's a lot of work. He will be there for 5 weeks 24/7. Check out his video below.
Thank you.

COURTESY POST - February 8th. URGENT HELP NEEDED-
Please, if you can help, reach out to her.
His name is Bama, 6 year old Staffordshire Terrier, not neutered, 58 lbs, has experience living with dogs and babies, has separation anxiety when left alone.

I’m quite literally desperate for any type of help possible: foster, rescue, board and train, ANYTHING asap.

A friend had to flee a domestic violence situation with her 1 year old daughter, leaving their 6 year old dog, Bama, behind. Bama clearly has been previously neglected and abused and struggles with separation anxiety when left alone. He is as sweet as ever and is so kind given everything he’s been through in his 6 years of life.

I can’t keep him in my one bedroom apartment because I have 2 cats and a dog-reactive dog. I tried all day yesterday and it can’t work. I’ve literally been staying with him in my car because I’ve exhausted all options, but I refuse to drop him off at a shelter where he will inevitable be euthanized. I need any and all help I can get. Please call or message me if you have any possibilities or options. I don’t want to abandon him.

Please help,

Nicole

Second Chance Dogs is grieving the loss of Ellen Deal. She was an animal lover through and through. She started volunteering with us back in 2009 and worked her way up to VP on our Board of Directors where she served for 13 years.
When there was a dog in need, Ellen fought for it until the perfect home was found. If a dog was rescued and a foster home was needed; she made sure one was available. If we didn't have one, she found one. She loved dogs and kitties too. We were very blessed to have her love and leadership in Second Chance Dogs.
She was also a beloved elementary school teacher in Kent, Washington.
She was a kind, loving, dear friend to all of us.
On January 21st, Ellen peacefully crossed over the Rainbow Bridge and we know she was greeted by hundreds of rescue dogs, barking and wagging their tails.
Ellen, we all love you and will miss you very much. Rest in Peace our dear friend.

Andi Rhodes we got your fb message about needing help but we can't message you back due to your settings.

We are courtesy posting and trying to share Cobra in hopes he may get adopted. Please see below.

Hello, this is Cobra. I am trying to share him around and hopefully find a rescue that can pull him. He is at SCRAPS shelter right now in Spokane WA and he has just been sitting in a kennel with no adoption interest. I work at the local hospital and I’ve been trying to go visit him every day and take him potty. He is an incredible dog and I have no idea why he is still there. He is huge and has some usual big dog habits like jumping up and pulling a little on the leash. But when I’ve walked him by other dogs, he’s never barked or growled. Is anyone looking for a great dog? I can transport.

Dear Second Chance Dog's family,
2/5- UPDATE- So far we have raised $435. Please donate. Thank you for the ones who have. We love you!

We really want to help this family with their dog, Solar. They have already incurred a lot of expenses with him
and they need financial help now to save their dog that they don't want to give up on.

If everyone could give a little we could hopefully raise most of this to help Solar go through a 5 week board and train program. Solar is worth it!!

This is his 3rd family and he is only 6 months old. 🥲 Please help us help this family and Solar by making a donation today and include his name, SOLAR, so we know it goes to him.

The board and train is going to cost $4,200. We appreciate everyone's help and we know what a sacrifice it is to give in this day and age, so we want to say "Thank You" in advance.

Solar is scheduled to go to his training on February 16th, so we have about 2 weeks to raise this money.
Thank you so much! Here is our link.

https://secondchancedogs.net/donate/

Please read his story below from his mom.

We got Solar in November from a family who could no longer take Solar on. She got him from an accident litter, born in August. His next stop was a shelter.

He took to my family immediately and claimed my daughter as his person. The two have been inseparable.

Shortly after getting Solar, we noticed he grew anxious when out around people. At first, it was occasional growling, but then it turned into snapping and resource guarding my family. He was loving and kind at the vet one day, and 2 weeks later, he was growling and biting them. This carried into other social settings as well.

Solar was evaluated by a behavior specialist, and she said she thought it was PTSD. We got Solar fixed and started him on medication. We had an appointment set to begin behavior therapy.

In that time, I got the flu, and Solar became stressed and ate a sock, his belly got tied up and we used the last of our savings to save his life.

Twice in the week post surgery, Solar's pain got so great he began to lash out at family, showing some of the same behavior to the dad in the house as he does strangers. I became concerned and started to look for answers.

Time and time again I reached out to rescues for help, and the vet, and I was told it would be better to just put Solar to rest. Be humane and let him go. 🥲
Our behavior specialist encouraged us that Solar could be saved. I kept looking. I felt defeated and made an appointment with the vet to surrender him to be put down.😭

Later that night, Second Chance Dogs saw my message and reached out to me. They talked with me and said they had a trainer in mind who they believed could really help Solar. They gave me his number and I called him. I talked to trainer, Isiah and he said Solar is seen as redeemable with board training. We are very hopeful that Solar will succeed with behavior modification training at Next Step K9 Training.

Today was his evaluation and it's been determined that Solar's reactivity is 100% fear based. The goal through the 5 week program is to help correct the behavior when he is scared and to build confidence in his daily life to minimize fear experiences. He can be a normal and loving dog. He just needs help.

2/11 Situation with Banjo is dire!!
PLEASE help.
We are doing a courtesy post for poor Banjo. Her owner needs to find her a better home than what she can give her. Please contact Claire at
[email protected]

Here is Banjo's bio.

When I first got her as a puppy I lived on a farm, and she had another dog to play with and things were good. On the farm, she was socialized with chickens and goats but hasn’t been around them the last few months. Since I had to move four
months ago, things have gotten progressively worse. Affordable housing that allowed me to have a dog was nearly impossible to find, and as a result, I now have a commute of 40 minutes each way. She has pretty severe separation anxiety. She destructively chews anything no matter how many toys, bones, or kongs filled with treats I leave for her. I fear for her safety.
I essentially live in a studio apartment, and it seems no matter how well I try to puppy-proof, she gets into things. I have limited storage (no closet, no bathroom door). She has learned to open the few kitchen cabinets and drawers. The only safe place is up the ladder to my loft bed and I expect she will learn how to climb that soon as she is very smart. She has broken multiple glass items and cut her feet. I fear the day she ingests glass. She keeps giving herself diarrhea from the things she eats. The latest was cold medicine. I live in fear that I will come home to find her dead.
She needs frequent exercise and a yard would be ideal. My landlords have a small, fenced garden but I cannot leave her unattended in it for more than a few minutes. Due to her strength and over-excitement and my work and commute hours, it is difficult for me to walk her. My neighborhood has no sidewalks or street lights. We usually go for a run out in the woods on the weekends, but it just isn’t enough. I have had dogs my entire life so this is just killing me. I am concerned that she will ingest something that will kill her or I will be unable to pay for the vet bills necessary to save her if she does. I'm also concerned that I will not have my lease renewed.

Trainings / interventions tried before deciding to re-home dog: I have worked with her extensively since I first got her and she knows all the basic commands but she is getting more and more reactive and ignores them when around other people. I've talked with other dog trainers and done much research online. She was spayed in November, I hoped that might calm her down but things have continued to get worse. The vet prescribed Trazadone but the max dose has little effect. I have also used dog CBD but again little to no result. We considered Prozac but the vet techs were unable to get her still enough to take blood and they can't prescribe without blood work done first. I have her listed with several online rehome websites and on Craigslist.
PLEASE, if you know this breed and can handle her strength, please reach out.
Thank you so much.

GOOD NEWS~ Owner has been found and has shown proof of ownership. Suna will be reunited with her family shortly.
This dog was found in Yelm yesterday by a Good Samaritan.
Is there anyone that can foster her while her owner is found, or if not found, while we look for her forever home?
We know she has a sweet demeanor and loves kids at this point. We can help with introductions if you have dogs.
Please help if you can. We will provide everything she may need. Thank you.

This is a courtesy post for a sweet dog named Wesley. He is not a SCD dog.
He was left in a park and his chip found and owners were contacted. Sadly They didn't want him back and had rehomed him to someone else they couldn't remember.
Wesley is a pittie maybe spaniel mix about 1.5 years old neutered.
A kind Samaritan picked him up in a park in Woodinville...well he jumped right in her car sweet boy.
A vet tech is keeping him safe while looking for a good forever home that will love him.
He loves to play with horses and is a little to brave. He loves to sleep in bed and cuddle. He would be best with a calm easygoing female dog to play with or he can be an only dog. He weighs about 40 lbs. Wesley is Housebroken. He has never been kenneled. Love people and older children.
If you have any questions or would like to meet Snuggle Wesley please contact Darrien who is keeping him safe. Her number is 2062257631

Charlie is looking for his forever home and he is ready! We sent him to NEXT-STEP K-9 for a week of board and train. Look at him now. 😀 We will pay for one session to be included in his adoption with Isiah so you can continue Charlie's training. Charlie is a lab mix, and just over a year old. He is neutered, vaccinated and chipped. Isaiah (owner of NEXT-STEP K-9) is also willing to train Charlie with an e-collar for you so he can walk off leash and do other things. This is not included in the adoption. If you think Charlie would be a great match for your family, please fill out our adoption application at www.secondchancedogs.net Also, if you are looking for a GOOD trainier, contact Isaiah at 253-278-5578.

Our Story

Second Chance Dogs was founded by a group of 5 determined women who, for years, independently helped "in need" dogs transform from their current situations. In July, 2009, we joined forces and started Second Chance Dogs, a non-profit organization in an effort to help more dogs in more ways. Each director brings to the organization their own special gift, wand when combined, allows Second Chance Dogs to offer a variety of services to help rehabilitate and find loving homes for these dogs.
