Description: UPDATE: Finnegan is AMAZING!!! His foster family LOVES him and he certainly deserves a forever home of his own :) If you want a bed buddy, a snuggle buddy, a couch potatoe to watch TV well Finnegan is your man. We want him to have a fenced yard and another pup to be his "best friend"!Finnegan through no fault of his own found hiself in a rural shelter where many dogs leave in garbage bags :( His day of death was set for Thursday, 2/13/2025. We couldn't allow a 1 year old dog to walk down a hall wagging his tale and never walk again! Thankfully we found a foster home and Fin is coming to us. We can't wait to find him a forever home that will value him and show him how humans are supposed to treat their "best, loyal friends"!!!!If you would like to meet Fin please fill out a form on our page at 2ndChance4LifeRescue.org if you fill out an application on another site we will NOT get it.Thank you for considering a rescue dog! ...

Description: Hi there! My name’s Freddy, and I’m a sweet, goofy pup currently hanging out in a cozy foster home. My foster family says I’m a total lovebug—I adore cuddles, belly rubs, and just being near my humans. I’ve been learning lots of new things and I’m pretty proud of how far I’ve come! I get along great with other dogs and love going on walks. All I’m missing now is a forever family to call my own. Could that be you? I promise to give you all the love (and tail wags) in the world!

Description: Well can I just say I LOVE the ranch!! My last house had 148 dogs and it was REALLY nasty!!! The authorities finally came and got us all!! Here at the ranch I get spa days and the food is real good and we have a huge field to play in!! My best friend is Layla. She is really scared so I stay close to her so she feels safe and hopefully at some point she will start to trust humans again. The volunteers are really nice. They hold us and talk to us and its VERY different from what we were used to! Mom says she is going to attach some pics of where we lived but I am happy to forget all about that and enjoy life.REQUIREMENTS to adopt GiGiMUST HAVE ANOTHER SMALL DOGMUST HAVE A FENCED YARD

Description: My name is Greta they say. They cal me Grandma Greta here. They say Spudz and I are the oldest and they think I probably am a relative to most of the pups that came from the hoarding situation. All I know is that I am pretty much blind and sooooooo glad to be out of the stench and filth that I called home for sooo long! Finally someone came and rescued all of us! By the time they came there were 148 of us!!! We lived in pure filth and boy did it smell!! Mom is pretty sure that the amonia is what caused some of us to lose our sight :( I am very grateful for a soft warm bed, good food and baths!! I am content to nap with a buddy. I don't like to be without a fur friend after all they were my only source of comfort for years! Thats why there are never pics of me without another pup. If you are looking for a senior lady then we should talk but ONLY if you have a small dog for me to cuddle with!REQUIREMENTSSmall d...

Description: Hello my name is Inky. I am a little princess and I know it!! My mommy had me her whole life and we had lots of fun together. Mommy lost her house and she moved into a mobile home park where they don't allow dogs over 30 pounds and well lets face it even if I tried I could never get to 30lbs so mom had to find a place for me to go :( We were both really sad :(Lucky for me I got to come to the Ranch and they have big yards to snoof around in!!I went to the Doctor yesterday (I am not a fan!) They took blood and gave me a Librella Shot, and looked at my ears so I was lets just say not to happy with them! They tell me its so I can feel better. I'm not sure how poking me like a pin cushion will make me feel better but hey you humans have some strange ways so I made my disatisfaction known and now I am back at the ranch just chilling and snoofing!

Description: Hi, I’m Julie — and I’m one lucky little lady!
I’m just a tiny thing who landed in a rural shelter with no fanfare, no fancy bed, and no plan. My time was up. Another rescue almost saved me… but they backed out last minute. I was actually scheduled to die.
But then—plot twist! ✨ 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue said “Not today!” and gave me my FREEDOM RIDE! ✨
Now I’m safe in a loving foster home, snuggling with kind humans and enjoying soft beds, good food, and belly rubs. They say I’m a really really good girl.
But there’s one little thing missing… I’d LOVE a young pup friend to run, zoom, and play with! My foster fam is full of adorable seniors who prefer naps and soft jazz, and I’m ready for some adventures!
