Lovely Luna! 💜🐾 This sweet lab mix is only 9 months old and has a lifetime of love & loyalty to give the right family. She still has that puppy energy, but once she gets some playtime in the backyard, she's happy to just chill and hang out. She has gotten along with other dogs she has met and seems to like everyone (especially if you have treats!). Luna is already spayed, up to date on all her vaccines and microchipped - all she needs is the right family! Message our page to make a meet with Luna or any of our adorable adoptables! THANK YOU to Emma for capturing some great pictures of this beautiful girl!

Valor is having some fun on a rainy day at the shelter but he'd much rather be lounging on the couch at his forever home. This fun little guy is 14 weeks old, has his age appropriate vaccinations and comes with a certificate for a free neuter (THANK YOU Sunrise Veterinary Services & Switzer Veterinary Clinic). He has a partially sponsored adoption fee and is $50. If you would like to meet Valor, message our page to set up a meet & greet.

Beautiful Belle had a fun photo shoot this weekend and loved getting to ham it up for the camera! She may look like a girl who means business, but she's really just a big ol' lovebug in a gorgeous black coat. Her tough-girl looks are all for show. Inside she's 100% sweetness, kisses, and wiggle butt! Belle would love to find a family with another confident dog that she could hang out with and a fenced yard would be the icing on the milkbone. Belle is a 9 month old Weimaraner/Terrier mix, already spayed, microchipped and up to date on all her vaccines. If you'd like to meet Belle, please message our page to arrange a time!

Luna is looking for her happily ever after… and we’re hoping her second chance is the one that lasts forever. 🖤🐾

Meet Luna, a beautiful 9-month-old black Lab Mix who has unfortunately found herself back at Second Chance through no fault of her own. Sometimes the right dog just needs the right home, and we think Luna’s perfect match is out there waiting for her!

Let’s remember that Luna is still a puppy! Puppies come with energy, curiosity, and a need for exercise, playtime, and interaction. Spending most of the day in a crate with only a few outings here and there isn’t the life this girl needs. Give her the opportunity to burn off some energy, enjoy some adventures, and have a little fun, and you’ll discover that she’s more than happy to settle in beside you and become your very best cuddle buddy. ❤️

🐾 She’s done well with other dogs.
🐾 She seems to love just about everyone she meets.
🐾 She’s full of love and affection.
🐾 She’s playful, fun-loving, and ready to be someone’s loyal companion.
🐾 And once she’s had her fun, she’s perfectly happy to snuggle up with her favorite human!

Luna doesn’t need a perfect family. She needs a family who understands that a young dog needs time, attention, exercise, patience, and most importantly, a place to belong.

She’s already had one disappointment, and we’d really love for her next chapter to be her last move. She has so much love to give, and all she needs is someone willing to give her the chance.

Could Luna be your happily ever after? 🖤
