Now introducing our Illinois Director  we are excited to have her on our team

 Hi! I’m Jennine
I am honored to be a part of the Second Chance Rescue family.
Since 5th grade, I’ve had at least one dog in my life. Now that I’be entered a new phase as a retired teacher, I am a volunteer for this amazing organization.
My last 6 dogs have all been adopted from rescue groups. I also have fostered several dogs and found them forever homes.
My biggest success was rescuing a dog at Chicago Animal Care and Control that was supposed to be euthanized the day before. He, Buster, was a special needs terrier who lived a very spoiled life with me at home and traveled with me to California, South Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin, Napa Valley.
I gave him that Second Chance and he knew it!
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
In May of 2023, I found my puppy, Elton, who was on Petfinder from Second Chance Rescue.
He came on their transport from Arkansas to a Chicago suburb.
This experience was new to me as my prior dogs were adopted from local rescues.
Seeing each rescue dog be given from the van to their new family is an incredible heart warming experience
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

As a volunteer, I look forward to matching furry 4 legged animals with a loving family.
🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Here’s to Second Chances to dogs who are needing forever homes and love!

👋 Meet Our Team:

Anna - Your Volunteer, Foster, and Adoption Consultant 🐾

Hey there! I'm Anna, and I'm excited to introduce myself to you. I'm a dedicated animal lover and have spent the last 15 years as a vet tech in both Arkansas and the Chicago area. Animals have always been my passion, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this amazing rescue organization.

I call a 60-acre farm my home, where I've had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of animals. From dogs and cats to various livestock and birds, I've seen it all! But my heart truly belongs to the senior rescues. There's something incredibly special about giving them a second chance at a loving home.

At my own place, you'll find a bustling mix of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and even some majestic horses. When I'm not working or helping animals find their forever homes, you can often catch me in the saddle, horseback riding. Baking is another one of my passions, and I'm known for whipping up delicious treats. Plus, I have a strong affinity for taking naps; who doesn't love a good nap, right?

I'm currently based at the veterinary clinic that our rescue partners with, which means I'm here to assist you with any questions or concerns you might have about your new pet. Feel free to reach out anytime, and I'll be more than happy to help. Let's make sure every animal gets the love and care they deserve. 🐶🐱🐾💕

Age: 1 year
Gender: Male
Status: Available for Adoption at tractor supply tomorrow.

? About Link ?
Greetings, I'm Link, a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix that this rescue has nurtured since I was a pup. Although my siblings found homes, I'm patiently waiting for a family to call my own, the missing piece in their lives.

? Temperament ?
My energy is boundless! Fetch, long walks, and outdoor escapades are my loves. While I haven't yet learned any commands, I'm a clean slate, ready for training and excited to learn from you. I'll repay you with unwavering loyalty.

? perfect Home ?
I envision a family that matches my verve for life. An active household for us to explore together - hiking, jogging, and beyond. It'd be best if I were your sole pet, relishing the spotlight. If you're prepared to be patient and guide me, we're a perfect team.

? Why I'm Special ?
As the last of my siblings seeking a forever home, I bring a unique journey and boundless affection. My heart is ready to pour love into your life. To add my wagging tail and love to your family, contact [870-751-0175]. Let's start writing our own story! ????
