About Dogs 2nd Chance

Dogs 2nd Chance is a non profit dog foster group founded in the fall of 2007. We are not a shelter. We are a group of VOLUNTEERS that saw the need to help medium and large dogs find new permanent homes.

The majority of the dogs in our program were abandoned, dumped or found running stray. For the most part, all they've  needed has been lots of love, attention  and a little medical care. We also save dogs from the urgent lists of "kill" shelters as space allows.

We are a VERY SMALL group trying to save one dog at a time. Volunteers and temporary foster homes are always welcomed.

Funding is our biggest challenge. We receive NO federal, state or municipal funding.  We are a 501[c]3 public charity. Your donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

Our biggest expense is veterinary services. In addition to spay and neuter, several of our dogs are going through or have been through expensive heartworm treatment. This is a hardship for us as well as the dogs since we rely solely on donations. Whatever else is necessary comes out of our own pockets.

Please Help Us Save Just One Dog. 
..just one...

If we all do that, we can work miracles!

Dogs are not wild animals and can not survive alone.
They can starve, be shot by annoyed neighbors or be hit by a vehicle
and left to die slowly. Please help us help them!

 SPUNKY's Story          MOONPIE's Story 

Too many of the dogs we've saved have serious medical needs
- especially all the heartworm positive dogs we've rescued.
All of them can lead full happy healthy lives with your help.

Donations are greatly appreciated for these medical expenses.  And PLEASE remember heartworm preventative is a monthly responsibility YEAR-ROUND!

Our Mission

The goals of Dogs 2nd Chance: 

• Rescue abandoned and stray dogs
• Attempt to reunite lost dogs with their families
• Provide safe haven in loving, temporary foster homes
• Provide any necessary medical care
• Reduce euthanasia rates - get adoptable pets out of animal shelters ALIVE
• Provide public education about the problem of animal overpopulation
• Decrease pet overpopulation through Spay/Neuter programs.  See Mid South Spay & Neuter Services in Memphis for low cost spay or neuter.
• Promote the principles of responsible pet ownership, including the spaying & neutering of all companion animals, the necessity of year-round heartworm preventative and regular veterinary care.
• Find new loving forever homes for each adoptable animal

Our Adoptable Dogs

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, have been heartworm tested [if old enough] and are on monthly heartworm & flea prevention. Any medical needs are attended to before adoption unless otherwise noted.

Adopting Your New Family Member

The adoption process begins by completing our Adoption Questionnaire.

If you'd like to meet the dogs, please come see us at one of our scheduled Adoption Events!  And if there is a special dog you'd like to meet, please feel free to let us know and we'll arrange a meeting.

We offer trial adoptions to help insure that our dogs and their new family are compatible.

Which Lucky Dog Goes Home Today?

Please Email Us for more information on any of our available dogs, or if you would like to help foster or to volunteer. If we had more foster homes we would gladly help more dogs. 

Local shelters stay full with dogs whose novelty of being "NEW" has worn off and puppies that are no longer cute. The majority of our dogs were DUMPED in the country to fend for themselves.

Volunteers And Donations Needed

Unfortunately due to lack of funding and overcrowding, we can not accept any more dogs at this time. This truly upsets us to say No but we simply can not continue to take in more dogs without help.

Won't you please consider opening your heart and home to an animal in need? With each new adoption completed or temporary foster home we add to our network of volunteers, it represents another animal saved.

There are numerous other ways to help. Please click on How You Can Help to explore other options to fostering.  Please Email Us if you can help!
