Second Chance Habitat

We are dedicated to helping animals in harm's way by finding rescues, fosters, sponsors and adopters for abandoned and/or abused pets.

We are a 501 (C)(3) all volunteer, non-profit, pet rescue group. Welcome to Second Chance Habitat Facebook, a site dedicated to helping animals in harm's way. We try to make viewers aware of the dogs' and cats' plights, and whenever possible, find rescues, fosters, sponsors and adopters for the pets whose lives depend on people who respond on their behalf.

🐾 Meet Delta — A Tender Soul with a Heart Ready to Bloom
Delta is a 4-year-old female Australian Shepherd mix with a soft spirit and a quiet grace. Weighing 37 pounds, she’s the perfect size for cozy companionship and peaceful walks. Delta came in with her trusted friend Kimmy, and she’s shown she can be good with other dogs — especially when she has a buddy by her side.

Cadi: This Happy Survivor is Ready for Her Forever Home with You!

Imagine the resilience of a dog who has lost everything but always has a smile on her face and pep in her step - that's Cadi (formerly called "Sleepy" - but that name didn't fit this girl!)! This gorgeous 2.5-year-old Husky/Carolina Dog mix (pronounced "Kay-dee"), weighing a perfect 47 pounds, is a true survivor. She was tragically surrendered after losing her home in a devastating fire, and is waiting to be part of a loving family again.

Despite her heartbreaking past, Cadi is an incredibly happy, resilient, and devoted dog whose spirit remains unbroken. She's fully vaccinated, spayed, and microchipped, ready to walk out right into your heart.

The Ultimate Companion: Cadi is more than just beautiful; she is the perfect partner for both cozy nights and outdoor adventures:

Loves People and Dogs: Cadi is a social superstar! She adores people and is a total social butterfly with other dogs, always ready to play and make friends at the dog park.

Adventure Ready: Looking for a co-pilot? Cadi is a great hiking companion who loves to explore the trails, and she's a perfect passenger for all your car rides.

Impeccable Manners: Cadi is already housebroken and crate-trained. She sees her crate as her cozy den, where she is quiet and calm through the night.

Cadi is sweet, eager to please her humans, and desperate for a second chance. She'll do well as a sole pet or with other dogs, and we believe she would be great with kids. Please don't let this beautiful survivor wait any longer. Give Cadi the safe, happy family life she craves!

If you are interested in welcoming Cadi into your life, please email [email protected] or text Ann at 757-630-6181. Our rescue will happily provide all initial necessities (crate, food, harness, etc.)—you just bring the love!

🚨 URGENT FOSTER NEEDED FOR XANI 🚨
Xani is not safe in his current foster home and Hidesperately needs a new home environment immediately. He just needs a safe haven, and our rescue will provide everything he needs—crate, food, collar, leash, harness, and more. We can provide more details to anyone who may be able to help.

This sweet two-year-old boy barely made it out of the Duplin County shelter with minutes to spare. A 42-pound English Pointer/Lab mix, Xani is fully vaccinated, heartworm negative, neutered, and microchipped. He’s playful, good with other dogs, and about 99% housebroken—he knows to go outside for his business.

Xani is a happy-go-lucky guy with an exuberance for life, and while he’s available for foster-to-adopt or adoption, what he needs most right now is a safe landing spot.

📩 If you can help foster Xani, please email [email protected]

URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR OUR FRIENDS AT DUPLIN COUNTY - Here is their message:

"Before we begin, we want to extend our deepest thanks for everything you do to help get dogs out of our shelter. Your dedication truly saves lives.
This week, we are facing an extremely urgent situation. As part of an ongoing Animal Control investigation, we will be taking in 7 to 18 dogs starting tomorrow, with more expected in the days ahead.
In order to make space for these incoming dogs, every dog currently available for adoption must be adopted or tagged for rescue as soon as possible. We need confirmed rescue commitments or adoptions no later than Saturday at 3:30 PM, but the sooner, the better — space is critical, and we are already over capacity.
🐾 ALL DOGS MUST LEAVE TO MAKE SPACE 🐾
Below are all dogs currently available for adoption or rescue. Each one of these lives depends on immediate action. Please consider adopting, rescuing, or sharing with your network today.
We are doing everything we can, but our shelter space is extremely limited. With so many dogs coming in as part of this ongoing Animal Control investigation, we must move these available dogs out now to prevent euthanasia for time / space.
📧 To tag a dog for rescue or request more info:
Email: [email protected]
📞 Phone: (910) 296-2159 EXT 2
Even if you can’t pull at this time, please share this message widely.
Every share helps us reach someone who might be able to help."

🌟 Meet Maverick! 🌟

You can’t help but smile when you see Maverick’s handsome face. This Australian Shepherd/Lab mix is the definition of a happy boy—he loves to romp around the yard, chase a ball, and splash in his very own “pool.” Pulled from the Lexington County shelter in SC on his very last day, Maverick is truly a wonderful save.

Maverick’s love of life is contagious! He greets everyone with enthusiasm and would be just as thrilled to join you on a morning run as he would be to curl up next to you on the couch. He is eager to please, affectionate, and devoted to his people.

Smart and well-mannered, Maverick is housebroken, obedient, and quick to respond to commands. He’s described as friendly with everyone, walks beautifully on leash, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats. In his foster home, he lives peacefully with both.

✨ Maverick’s stats:

3 years old

65 pounds

Neutered, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative

This boy would thrive with an active, loving family and a fenced yard where he can play, explore, and show off his ball skills. Be sure to check out his video—he’s adorable splashing around in his pool!

📩 If you’re interested in Maverick, please email [email protected] or visit www.secondchancehabitat.org to download an adoption application.

June's foster in South Carolina can’t say enough good things about her—June is truly incredible with stellar manners and behavior. She is fully housebroken, crate trained, and even goes into her crate when asked. She also lets her foster know when it’s time to go outside.

June is a smart girl who knows her commands and plays a fantastic game of fetch—she’ll bring the ball right back and drop it at your feet. She’s quiet, well-behaved, and wonderful with both dogs and cats. In her foster home, she’s living peacefully with several of each and gets along beautifully with everyone. June also walks very well on a leash. No pulling!

It seems like she understands every word you say—she listens, responds, and clearly wants to please. When she's told to go in her crate, she does so immediately. She’s cuddly and playful and loves both giving and receiving affection. With her gentle nature and love of fetch, she would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where she can run and play to her heart’s content.

June is just one year old, 45 pounds, spayed, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. Listed as a mixed breed, she is truly a gem—a dog who will bring joy, companionship, and love to any family lucky enough to call her their own.

📩 Interested in June? Please email [email protected]. Adoption applications can be found on the website www.secondchancehabitat.org.

✨ Meet Bobo! ✨
Bobo is a gorgeous 18-month-old American Eskimo Dog weighing 18 pounds. He’s fully vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped—ready to step right into his forever home.

This sweet boy is currently in a loving foster home in Moyock, where he enjoys the freedom of a big fenced yard and plenty of pampering from his foster family. He has a gentle, affectionate nature but also loves to romp and play with the other dogs until they wear each other out! He’s clearly dog-friendly, and since he shows no prey drive, we believe he’d do well with cats, too.

Bobo is housebroken, crate trained, and walks nicely on a leash. The only thing to note is that he doesn’t enjoy being left alone—he may bark to find his people. Because of this, an apartment or condo with close neighbors might not be the best fit.

With his happy disposition and charming personality, Bobo has a way of winning everyone’s heart. He truly is an outstanding little dog and will be a blessing to the lucky family who adopts him. ❤️

📩 If you’d like to make Bobo part of your family, please email [email protected] or visit www.secondchancehabitat.org to download an application.
