About Dogs 2nd Chance

Dogs 2nd Chance is a 501[c]3 non-profit dog foster group that was founded in the fall of 2007. We are a group of VOLUNTEERS that saw the need to help medium and large mixed breed dogs find permanent loving homes. We have evolved to help any size dogs.

We are NOT a shelter. We receive no government funding and depend on our minimal adoption fees, donations and our own bank accounts.

All of our dogs are fostered in our homes and become a temporary active member of our family. Fostering helps to socialize the dogs, helping them adjust to life in a family setting.

The majority of our dogs were abandoned, dumped or found running stray. We attempt to reunite lost dogs with their owners by placing ads in local newspapers and online classified ads.

Additionally, we rescue dogs from high kill shelters as space allows. We are caring for the castaways by saving one dog at a time.

With our network of dedicated rescue volunteers, we match homeless and abandoned dogs with forever homes, locally and up the east coast to the New England area where there is a shortage of adoptable animals. We adopt out dogs to Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Maine and New Hampshire.

We ensure that the animals are fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered and any medical needs taken care of unless otherwise noted before they are taken to their new forever homes.

Since our inception we have found loving homes for more than 500 dogs and received numerous testimonials, photos and letters from happy owners. It is deeply gratifying to see animals who were once neglected or abused become loved and loving, pampered pets.
