Second Chance Animal Rescue

07/05/2025

Second Chance has an overlooked BEAUTY of a dog named Chase who is available for adoption. He’s a big boy who looks a lot like a wolf! Plus he’s housebroken, good with both dogs and cats, and a pretty mellow guy. Call us at 651-771-5662 if you think he’d fit into your family!

Chase is an adoptable Dog - Black Labrador Retriever & Husky Mix searching for a forever family near White Bear Lake, MN. Use Petfinder to find adoptable pets in your area.

Prepare now to keep your pets safe over the long 4th of July holiday. Fireworks are already starting. Especially on the 4th, please keep them indoors and in a secure area where they can’t bolt out a door if they get frightened (a bedroom with windows closed is a safe area). When letting dogs outside, be sure they are on a leash or within a fenced yard in case they get startled and be sure you go outside with them.
Play soft music or turn on the TV when the fireworks start, put a Thundershirt on them, for cats plug in a pheromone (Feliway or Comfort Zone) prior to the noise to help calm them. Never take animals to the fireworks.
We wish you and your pets a safe and happy 4th of July.

Today! Sunday, June 29, 4:00-6:00 p.m. As part of Manitou Days in White Bear Lake, Second Chance will be participating in Pets & People Appreciation. It will be located at St. Stephen Church, 1965 County Road E in White Bear Lake. Some of our adoptable dogs will be eagerly waiting to see you, and our volunteers will be there to talk with you about our organization. There will be pet vendors, tips from animal hospitals, grooming advice, crafts, treats (human and pets) and fun for everyone during this two-hour event. The Ramsey County K9 unit will also be there. Hope to see you there (**if the weather is bad, there is plenty of space inside St. Stephen Church to hold the even).

Please keep your pets inside this weekend except for quick dog bathroom breaks on grass. Temperatures are expected to reach over 100 degrees (with high humidity) which is too hot for any animal to walk on pavement. If you see a pet in a car, call the police immediately and try to locate the owner. If you see a dog or cat outside, try to get it to animal control right away. If you can, please put water out in a shaded area for critters (birds, squirrels, etc.).

UPDATE: RUDY GOT HIS BIRTHDAY WISH! We hope Rudy and his new human mom will have a wonderful long and happy life together.

Happy 1 year birthday, Rudy! Rudy was born in our program one year ago today, and we don’t know why he is still waiting for his forever home. His littermates and mom were adopted but Rudy is waiting patiently for his family. He is an amazing boy who loves other cats and people. He is neutered, vaccinated, FeLV and FIV negative and a very playful and easy cat to have around. Read more about him at the link below, and please call 651-771-5662 if you would like to meet Rudy and give him the best birthday present ever.

Foster needed!
🐶🐾🐶
Look at that face - do you have room in your home for a foster dog? Meet Sully, a 2-year-old yellow lab mix. At 48 #, he's a perfect size and is described as quite the gentleman.

Sully is due to arrive in MN this coming Sunday - if you are able to provide a foster home, please call 651-771-5662 or send us a message with any questions you have!

Thank you Feeding Furry Friends, Greater Good Charities and Chewy for the opportunity to receive food, for a small handling fee, to help feed our foster dogs and cats who we rescue! We are very appreciative of the hardworking organizations and people that make this possible.
