Sarah's Second Chance Dog Rescue

Sarah's Second Chance Dog Rescue We are a small non-profit dog rescue. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters, on their last day. We give them a second chance at life.

Most of these dogs have never felt a loving home, a warm bed, a toy to play with, or someone to just give them a pat on the head. We rescue dogs from shelters and owner surrenders from the state of Connecticut. We are a very small dedicated group, who run this rescue only on donations, and out of our own pockets. Any donation is never too little and it is always greatly appreciated. We also help f

amilies, who need to surrender their dogs, and we will help them find foster homes or forever homes for them. When we rescue a dog, the dog is brought to the vet to get a clean bill of health. They are given a Rabie shot, Distemper shot, Bordetella shot, checked for Lyme Disease, Heartworm and for Parasites. Then they are micro-chipped and neutered or spayed. If we have a dog that has medical issues, and they need surgery, we try to do a fundraiser to help with the medical bills. We pay for all vet bills out of our own pockets, so any donation is greatly appreciated.

Along with the refundable bottle and cans, we now take all juice, sport drinks, tea and coffee bottles and cans.
They can be dropped off any time or day and left by the garage doors at 182 Skinner Rd, Vernon CT 06066. We are always in need of refundable bottles and cans. You think it's only 10 cents, but those 10 cents add up and help us with paying vet bills for all our rescue and sanctuary dogs. This is a great way to donate to our rescue. It is an on going collection yearly. Please, help us and donate your refundable bottles and cans to our rescue.

🐾💔 The Forgotten Nine 💔🐾

Every shelter has them — the faces that greet staff day after day, the wagging tails that never lose hope. These are the nine longest residents.

They’ve watched other dogs come and go, seen happy endings happen all around them — yet they wait. Patiently. Quietly. Hopefully. 😞 (But let’s be real, sometimes not so quietly!)

Each one has their own story:
✨ The gentle soul who just wants a soft bed and a friend.
✨ The playful goofball who still believes today might be his day.
✨ The shy heart who’s learning to trust again.

They are loving, loyal, and ready — all they need is someone to finally choose them. ❤️

If you’ve ever thought about fostering or adopting, now is the time. Welcome one of them into your home and see for yourself the magic that happens when you give a shelter dog a second chance.

Because nine empty kennels would mean nine lives forever changed — and countless hearts healed. 🐶💕

Our Story

We are a small non-profit (not a 501c3) dog rescue. We are a 501 registered with the State of Connecticut and we have a EIN #. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters, on their last day. We give them a second chance at life. Most of these dogs have never felt a loving home, a warm bed, a toy to play with, or someone to just give them a pat on the head. We rescue dogs from shelters and owner surrenders from the state of Connecticut. We are a very small dedicated group (Sue Phelps, Ed LeGault, Allison Vorchheimer, Robbi Lee Roy, Jay Phelps and Fran Skoglund), who run this rescue only on donations, and out of our own pockets. Any donation is never too little and it is always greatly appreciated. We also help families, who need to surrender their dogs, and we will help them find foster homes or forever homes for them. When we rescue a dog, the dog is brought to the vet to get a clean bill of health. They are given a Rabie shot, Distemper shot, Bordetella shot, checked for Lyme Disease, Heartworm and for Parasites. Then they are micro-chipped and neutered or spayed. If we have a dog that has medical issues, and they need surgery, we try to do a fundraiser to help with the medical bills. We pay for all vet bills out of our own pockets, so any donation is greatly appreciated.

We also have dogs that are non-adoptable because of medical and behavior issues (mostly senior dogs) and they will stay with us until the end of their lives. They will be our sanctuary dogs. Come visit us on Facebook and "LIKE" us... Website: www.sarahs-secondchance.com

We are always in need of slightly used and cleaned sheets, towels, blankets and comforters for the puppies. They can be dropped off anytime and left by the garage doors at 182 Skinner Rd, Vernon CT 06066
