Second Chance Dog Rescue

Rescue Team

Second Chance Dog Rescue’s success depends on our network of dedicated volunteers and foster families. Without a traditional shelter, we depend on these compassionate individuals who open their hearts and homes to provide temporary care for our dogs. Even the most frightened, mistreated or timid dog can blossom and thrive, often showing remarkable progress in just a few days or weeks in the loving environment of a foster home.

With the support of so many, we strive to set a high standard of excellence within the dog rescue community. Second Chance Dog Rescue has volunteer foster families throughout Southern California and Baja California, Mexico. The more foster families we have, the more dogs we can save!
