Meet Murray - isn't he the cutest?! This little guy is the perfect size at 11 # and a great age (2yo). He's housetrained, is not a big barker, and true to his pug roots, SUPER food motivated (which is helpful for training). Murray is still a little nervous, but is settling in nicely. He needs a little leash work (he pulls a bit), but we expect that will come with patience and time. Murray would love a little friend to hang with, but we imagine, given the right situation, he could be an only dog. This little boy is a gem. Contact us if you'd like more info (link in bio).

This little kitten (we named him Oliver) was thrown from a moving vehicle and limped up to a police officer who was in the process of a traffic stop. The kind officer brought him to an impound where they asked for rescue help. We didn’t hesitate and got him transported to a vet. One of our amazing foster’s stepped up to take care of him.
Little Oliver had two very bad fractures of his hind tibia and fibula. After x-rays and consultation, it was decided to amputate the leg. Oliver was such a brave, sweet boy and got through the surgery with flying colors (thanks to a wonderful vet at Southview Animal Hospital). His foster mom bought him a soft ‘donut’ E-collar instead of the plastic one in the picture and is keeping him quiet in a large metal dog kennel in her bedroom so he doesn’t hurt himself. Oliver gets his stitches out in ten days and will be such a happy boy.
Wish Oliver much success! (Before and after pictures.)

FOSTER FOUND!! Thanks everyone for sharing and contacting us.

Foster Needed for this sweetheart! Ellie Jo is a 2 yr old female yellow lab (or mix) that weighs 50 #. She was an owner surrender dog (don't know the reason), and we are taking her into our program on Sunday, August 24. We are looking for someone to either foster her with intent to adopt, or foster her until she can be placed with another family.

Ellie Jo is very friendly and has a sweet demeanor. She loves a good nap and enjoys slow paced walks. She’s such a happy dog and could lay in bed all day if you let her! Ellie Jo is leash trained and crate trained.

Ellie is house trained and does well at home alone. She is a curious girl who enjoys exploring new places. She lives for a good belly rub and loves affection. Like many dogs she doesn’t care for the common canine enemies: the vet, baths, or loud noises, including thunder storms and the vacuum.

Ellie Jo is friendly with people and dogs and she hasn’t barked at anything other than her own reflection. Hasn’t been exposed to cats or kids. She's a good eater, and also likes soft treats or bones. Hasn’t figured out toys yet but plush toys seem to be something she’s interested in. She’s a very sweet girl and whoever ends up with her will be very lucky to have her.

Ellie has already been spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested, and had a f***l exam done. She does have double dew claws. Second Chance will provide food and supplies while she’s being fostered. If you have any questions, or you can offer to foster this gorgeous girl, call 651-771-5662.
