Available for adoption and ready for a Furever Home!
Foster home says...
Lupia (LuLu) is an 1 year old Bernadoodle whose favorite pastime is playing with other dogs. She needs a patient owner as she is fearful but she has come a long way in this area. She loves dogs, toys, and treats. She must have a fenced in yard as she is not leashed trained. She also needs a home with at least one other dog to play with. She is doing great on house training.

Lupia has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. She tested negative for heartworms and had a dental exam and cleaning. Our vet said she is apparently healthy. Lupias adoption fee is $395.00.

If you are a preapproved adopter, just email us at [email protected] and let us know you are interested in adopting her. If you are not preapproved, you will need to complete the adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com.
The rescue facility is closed. Lupia is in a foster home.

This Senior Beauty Is Available!
Her foster says..
Tressa is an 8 year 11mo old Bichon. She has been very shy with us but is SLOWLY coming around. She will just need lots of patience and love. She sniffs our hands , my girls can pick her up. She has to be cornered to be picked up but does not scratch us like she used to because she wanted out of our arms. She barks to come inside from the back yard now and is very curious about what we are up to. She's a beautiful girl but just will take some patience and lots of love . 💕 She has been with 4 other dogs and 3 kiddos so she has seen it all. She loves her doggy friends so a house with another pup would really help her also.

Tressa has been spayed, microchipped and is up to date on vaccinations. She tested negative for heartworms and had a dental exam and cleaning. Our vet said she is apparently healthy. Tressa's adoption fee is $200.00.

Alofo Is Still Available.❤️🐾🤗.
He got freshly groomed today and Looking SO Handsome!!
Alofo is a 6 year old miniature Aussie. He is in a foster home. This is what the foster had to say: Al is friendly with other dogs. Once settled in he likes his bath. Needs brushed a few times a week with his beautiful long hair. Doesn’t mind grooming with clippers. Has not been to groomer but has no problem with foster mom and dad grooming him. He prefers to lay in his bed during the day. Plays with toys and his dog sister sometimes too. Starting to warm up to his people and will approach and take food/treats from their hand. Fast movements by people scare him and he sometimes barks when people enter the house. The barking may be due in part to his dog sister. During the day he goes out side to potty. Sometimes likes to mark new territory that is placed in his environment. No kennel accidents. Has used p*e pad at night at times. He prefers to sleep in kennel at night with door closed though. Kennel is put up during the day so he lays in bed on floor. Does not get on furniture unless human puts him on chair or couch. Will set with humans on couch and relax. I always talk to him and approach him slowly before picking him up. Have no problem picking him up. He lets me love on him. Has done very well at his vet visits. Likes to eat food in kennel during the night. His sister is somewhat intrusive and gets in his kennel and eats his food. He lets her. He does not like the leash,refuses to walk on leash and try’s to get away from it. He will follow you wherever you go outside or if you call him without the leash. Initially was Houdini and would remove his collar in seconds. Now leaves collar on and doesn’t try to remove it. He makes sure everyone is ready to go back in before he goes into the house. He herds his people and dog sister back into the house after each trip outside and patiently waits if he is done but others are not ready.

Alofo has been neutered and is current on microchips. He is heartworm negative. He has been microchipped. Alofo's adoption fee is $325.00. If you are a preapproved adopter and interested, email [email protected] to let us know. If you are not preapproved, you will need to complete an adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com Thank you!

Still Available! This Sweet Shy Mini Aussie is a true Gem who just needs a Second Chance!

Shamus is just the sweetest almost 4 1/2 year old 15 lb Mini Aussie. If you desire to pick him up you’ll have to pretend you are walking past him and a wall then pick him up. He likes to chill with us on the couch, sit on the rug and watch us throughout the day, and run around the yard if we are in it other wise he will scurry to find us. He gets along with all the dogs and once in awhile acts like he’d like to play. He will need a home willing to work through some of his fears that have made leash training, going down stairs, and house training a little more challenging. Someone probably needs to adopt him pretty soon because he’s stealing my heart!🥰
Shamus has been neutered, microchipped & is up to date on his vaccines. His heartworm test was negative and he had a dental exam and cleaning. He needed several teeth removed. Our vet said he is apparently healthy. Shamus' adoption fee is $325.00.

If you are a preapproved adopter just send an email to secondchancedogrescueofiowa@gmail..com and let us know you are interested in adopting him. If you are not preapproved you will need to complete the adoption application at http://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com.
Shamus is in a Foster Home
Thank you.

Lupia and Alejandro are getting along great at their foster home. Two dogs that just needed a chance to run and play and learn how to be a dog! This is truly what putting a dog in a home can do to the dog. Yes they are in a foster home but in a Furever Home just imagine how Amazing it would be!
This ODD couple Bernadoodle and Boston Terrier are just having a Blast!

He leash/harness and crate trained and is pretty good at the potty training game of ringing a bell but of course his new home will have to be consistent.

Alejandro has been neutered, microchipped and is up to date on vaccines. He tested negative for heartworms. He had a dental exam but did not need a cleaning. Our vet said he is apparently healthy. Alejandro's adoption fee is $325.00.

SHE IS STill AVAILABLE!
Hi Everyone my name is Patricia, but my foster family calls me, “Dolly”, “Dolly girl”, or “Mama”. I'm a 5 year old Australian Shepherd. And my Foster Mom says that even though I’m really shy, I’m such a sweet girl who loves to have her ears scratched. I just need the right family to help me understand humans aren’t scary. I get along really well with the other dogs in my foster family. They have showed me what the dog life is all about, and this includes going potty outside. Although I’ve picked up several good habits from my dog friends, the one I haven’t picked up is the one that my family is thankful for…I’m not a barker. I’m one of those quiet, mysterious gals. I would need another dog in my new home, because I want to continue learning how fun it is to be a dog. My adopted family will need to have a fence, because leashes aren’t my thing. My foster family says I’m such a good girl who will be amazing in the right home. - Dolly

Patricia has been spayed and is current on microchips. She is heartworm negative. She has been microchipped. Patricia's adoption fee is $325.00.

Goggles loves boxes. She has played with it most of the day. When done she sat on top of the box and rested! She’s a character!

Quick update on alum Peanut Butter adopted a year ago. She is doing amazing! She plays with her dog sisters, loves to “gallop” outside, and is a snuggler! She has even started walking around to different levels of the house!

There’s snow! Don’t eat the snow by Maggie! It’s yellow!

Pudel’s wheelchair finally came!

ADOPTED Dood is partially deaf and blind but he doesn’t know it. He was born that way. He plays and romps about like all the other dogs. Once he has a toy in his mouth, he knows the smell and can find it again. Dood is available for adoption .

Just a walking along in the Parade.

Magda loves to play ball with you or she will play be herself too!

This is Piglet. She is a 3 year old pug and is very friendly. She is in a cage because she just had knee surgery and she is supposed to take it easy. As you can see, her purpose is to get out of the cage! She does not like being away from all of us. She is doing well but will take some time to heal. She is scheduled to go to a foster.

Look who came to play music for us today. Thank you Cheryl Wallace for entertaining the dogs and us with your Beautiful music! 🐾❤🎶🎵🎶

Desirre is showing us what really sleepy looks like!

Success! Helene gave in! Fargo is feeling pretty confident!

Fargo is trying hard to get Helene to play him!

Play time in the office!

These two little cuties are now available for adoption! Anyone may apply! If you are a preapproved adopter, you do not need to complete another application. Just send us an email at [email protected] and let us know you are interested. These two are sibling dachshunds. They were born on 7/3/21. They do not need to be adopted together. As you can see both pups are playful and happy. The red one is a little boy named Muncie. He is just a tad bit quieter than the little girl. Her name is Lexee. She is the more curious one. Their adoption fee is $350.00 each. They have been seen by our vet who states they are healthy. They have started their puppy shots but will need boosters. They will go quickly so either get your application in at https://www.secondchancedogrescueofiowa.com/adoption-application.html or email us if you are preapproved.

Abbie is in her element with these big dogs! She has always preferred the big dogs and loves having them hang out with her! These dogs just came in to the rescue so they are not available fir adoption quite yet.

UPDATE on Walter who is now Issaac! His forever mom says: We adopted Isaac (formerly known as Walter) back in January. I wanted to share one of the fun videos I took this evening showing Isaac living his best life. He is a great pup and is really coming out of his shell. Thanks for allowing us to give Isaac a second chance. We say: It just shows you what a lotta love can do!

Rory, Cupcake and Lyndon having a good time!

Our Story

Second Chance started with the death of my son, Bryan. I had a very difficult time accepting his death and I went to grief counseling. The counselor suggested that I find something to do. I began volunteering at different shelters and rescues in Iowa. After some time doing that, I decided that I wanted to start a dog rescue, one where the healthy, dog friendly dogs could live together as a pack. That was on January 9, 2013. The dogs literally saved my life. They need me just like my son did. It gives me reason to face each day, even without my son.

The days since then have been a rollercoaster ride that all of us here at Second Chance stand in line waiting to buy tickets for so we can ride again and again. Some days are funny and happy and wonderful. Some days are sad, heartbreaking and tearful. ALL days are a blessing. Each day with the dogs reminds me that we really can make a difference in this world. I get all the “thank you” I need when I see these dogs playing and feeling happy!

We want to give these dogs every possible chance to find their forever homes as well as help dogs who are strays or who have owners that can no longer care for them. Please complete an adoption application and get approved before coming to the rescue to meet dogs. The dog you want to meet could be at a temporary home or could already have an adoption application. We don't want you to drive out and be disappointed that the dog you want is not here. Thanks!
