WHEW! Big sigh of relief! Many thanks to all those who responded and reported sightings in an effort to help find Callie! Apparently, she traveled a lot of miles during her "outward bound" adventure because she prompted a lot of sightings.

But with the help of some hot dogs, a determined new owner and some good neighbors and friends, Callie was caught and is now safely back home.

In Callie's case, it really did "take a village"! Thank you all for your hel

Please see sweet Luke!!

Luke is described as an "amazing dog" by his foster mom and with good reason! Luke is incredibly sweet and such a good companion.
He checks the adoption boxes: He is housebroken, walks well on a leash, exhibits good manners in the home (loves a good lap) enjoys being with other dogs and has even made friends with the neighborhood cat!

Overall, Luke is a joy to be around! And when you add endearing and charming to his list of good qualities, he may well be a candidate for "Best all round" dog!
He also enjoys a good stroll so he will make a great walking buddy! Regarding his vetting attributes, Luke is now neutered, chipped and fully vaccinated. And to his credit, he is heartworm negative. At three years old and 47 pounds, he was listed as a hound mix at the Lee County shelter but he's probably blended with another cute breed.

If you need more information about this lovable pup or are interested in adopting him, please respond to this message or email [email protected] for a quick response! We would love to help Luke find his forever home!

Sweet Sierra

Sierra was rescued from the Lexington, SC, shelter and what an incredible dog she is! Sweetest of the sweet, according to her caretaker who adores her.

Sierra loves to get in your lap on her back and get belly rubs. She is such a delight in every regard. She is housebroken and quiet, just a perfect lady. She is great with other dogs and probably good with cats because of her gentle disposition. She resembles a mini golden retriever with a dark snout--just a stunning dog. But her main appeal is her wonderful personality. She is so affectionate and loving and will make someone an outstanding pet. Sierra is 3 to 4 years old.

And she's only 30 pounds, fully vaccinated and will be spayed as soon as we can get an appointment. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Sierra, please email [email protected] for a quick response!

Please notice

Presenting Princess Leia from Lee County, NC! (Her original name was Princess but we shortened it to Leia.) She may not look like a glamorous dog, but her personality is what makes her so charming! She was labeled as the sweetest, most gentle dog at the Lee County shelter and she lives up to her reputation!

Everyone who meets her is enchanted by her sweet personality and good manners. But she is in an urgent situation again and needs another foster home. Her current foster has business travel scheduled and she must find another temporary home as soon as possible.

Leia and her partner Luke were confiscated from bad living conditions in Lee County but they both are darling dogs and remarkably, are both heartworm negative! Leia was listed as a hound mix at the shelter and is now spayed, fully vaccinated and microchipped. We think she may be 5 or 6 years old. The shelter had her listed as 9 years old but the vet said she was between 2 and 3 years. Whatever her age, she is a lovely dog with a wonderful disposition.

She is housebroken and gets along great with other dogs. She absolutely adores her humans and is eager to please. She walks well on a leash and is a good passenger in a vehicle. Leia has not had a good life but she deserves the best of the best! If you would like to consider either fostering or adopting Leia, please email [email protected] for a quick response! You can also text 757-630-6181.

Meet Crockett, a beautiful yellow lab and hound mix who was surrendered to a boarding facility with his brothers by his human mom because she didn't have time to work with them. They were only six months old at the time and had had no training or socialization but are grateful for human interaction and attention . But like his brother Boone, Crockett is a very sweet boy and just needs some coaching to become a wonderful pet.

Crockett is now about ten months old and 64 pounds. He is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and heartworm negative. Crockett just wants to please and if he were in a foster home, he could realize his full potential.

At the kennel, he is still somewhat scared and unsure but a good home environment would provide a place where he could flourish!

If you are interested in fostering Crockett, please email [email protected]. We will provide a dog crate, dog food, collar, leash, harness and any other items Crocket may need!

Connelly was rescued from the Greenville County shelter in SC with hours to spare! And she has dazzled everyone she has met ever since she left the shelter!

Not only is she a stunning beauty, she has a soft, gentle personality that has earned her the reputation of a perfect lady. Her caretaker says she keeps a clean kennel which indicates that she is housebroken. And she did so well with other dogs, even when a couple that she met were not nice to her. That didn't faze her; she just walked away and didn't even react.

All told, Connelly is a true sweetheart and deserves the best of the best! She walks well on a leash and would love the comforts of a home environment. Her ideal home will have a fenced in yard where she can have her freedom to explore and play. With so many good qualities, she is an absolute jewel in dogdom!

At two years old, she is small for a husky at only 42 pounds if that. But she is fully vaccinated and will be spayed and microchipped as soon as possible.

Second Chance Habitat will be glad to provide a dog crate, dog food, collar, leash, harness and any other needs she may have in foster care.

Please respond to this message or email [email protected] if you are interested in Connelly.

If you're looking to add a gorgeous female to your life, then please consider Zasi, a friendly, funny husky from the Bladen County shelter in Elizabethtown, NC.

Zasi is only a year old and 45 pounds, so she still has the sweet puppy mannerisms and happy innocence of
those just beginning their lives. But even with all her beauty and charm, she was being overlooked at the shelter and her time was up so we had to get her out!

Zasi does not have the characteristics typically associated with huskies, however.

She is easy going, mild mannered and very affectionate. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play. She'll make a great family pet in that she's already housebroken and very quiet at night.

She's also very smart--quick to learn her commands and eager to please.

Fully vetted, Zasi is spayed, housebroken, up to date on all her vaccines and heartworm negative.

She's an absolute jewel of a dog!
If you're interested in meeting Zasi or need more information, please email [email protected] for a quick response.

HELP!!!
Callie will need a temporary foster starting tomorrow, July 6, through July 13. Second Chance Habitat will provide a crate, dog food, collar, leash, harness and anything else Callie may need during this time. Please respond to this message if you can help or text 757-630-6181. Thank you!

Callie is a lovely two-year-old pulled from Walton County, GA and she is such a sweetheart! She's good with other dogs and kids, too, and certainly enjoys her human interaction. One of her favorite places is in someone's lap and she would love another dog to play with! So high on her wish list is a fenced in yard where she can run zoomies with her future doggie sibling.

She's good on a leash, not to mention housebroken and crate trained. Despite her passion for playing in the yard, she's very gentle and calm in the house and so affectionate!
She's a little jewel!

She's very smart and quick to learn her commands. And at only 30 pounds, she's a good size for her future family!

Callie is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and heartworm negative. Callie will make an excellent family addition.

Please email [email protected] if you would like more information or wish to meet Callie. The adoption applications are found on the website secondchancehabitat.org under "Forms."

We should have a contest to see what everyone thinks Darby is! They said Chow mix. But there is no semblance to a chow. She does have a mixed black tongue. I looked up other dogs with black tongues and a cattle dog is one of them. So I say cattle dog pit mix?? She looks a little like a frenchie - but that would be impossible in Tarboro!

Darby is the sweetest girl! This little 15 lb - 12 week old Cattle Dog/Bull Terrier Mix is still a little skittish after being on the streets in rural NC but once you hold her - she just melts into you. She is learning to walk on the leash, come when called and is doing great with potty training. She loves the company of other dogs and even cats. For a 3 month old - she is wonderfully calm, great in the car and has even experienced a nice swim in the bay! We are totally guessing at her mix - you tell us what you think! She does have an off-colored tongue and not many breeds do. Shorter legs, boxer build body, tall ears, mix-colored tongue and very soft short hair. Whatever little Darby is - she is going to be a wonderful dog.

Please see info on application below and we will set up a meet and greet with you and little Darby.
