This soccer ball loving girls name is Mattie and she loves to play in our fenced in paddock here at second chance!
Mattie is a 2-year-old Chocolate Lab/Pit Mix at around 50lbs. Mattie is a very affectionate and playful girl who loves running, playing and spending time with her people! Based on previous life experiences, she can be timid meeting new people -especially men- so we prefer to introduce her slowly to new people. Mattie may be able to live with another dog, dog savvy cat and children over 8 who can understand that she may be a little nervous at times. If you are interested in Mattie, please visit our website to fill out an application or call our Canine Office at (802) 375-2898 ex 305!

This senior girl loves to roll in the grass on a sunny day!
Mocha is a ten to twelve year old America Shelter Dog who still has plenty of s***k and energy for her age. She would be considered a foster to adopt due to Kidney Disease that is being treated and monitored. She has done wonderful with dog savvy children, can live with cats and possibly another submissive dog. She loves taking walks, soaking up all of the smells nature has to offer and always has a lot to say! If you are looking for an older snuggle buddy she might just be your girl! If you are interested in Mocha, please fill out an application on our website or call our Canine Coordinator at (802)375-2898 ex 305
