We are a 501(c) (3) non-profit, no-kill dog shelter and we obtain most of our dogs the day they are to be euthanized. We save their life and provide them with a temporary home until we find a forever home for them. We are currently at our maximum capacity and are unable to help more dogs until we find homes for the ones we have now. At Second Chance, we believe every dog has a story and every story deserves a happy ending! If you have adopted a dog from Second Chance, please feel free to upload pictures. We become very attached to the dogs while they are here and love hearing updates! Please contact us today if you would like to change the quality of a dogs life by making a donation or adopting. Any and all contributions are greatly appreciated and tax deductible!! Please suggest us to your friends,
and please, please, PLEASE have your pets spayed or neutered!!

UPDATE! A friend of the shelter knows that sometimes it may be harder to adopt siblings together. This friend of the shelter will pay the adoption fee for Peaches and Patches to be adopted together. How great is that. Hopefully this will help these 2 furbabies get adopted soon.

Hello everyone! We are siblings and we love each other. We are a bonded pair of furbabies. We are AVAILABLE for ADOPTION! Please spread the word and share our post to help us get adopted.

Hello. My name is Peaches and my brothers name is Patches. We are 3 years old. We are so happy together. Just check out our smiles below. We came to Second Chance Shelter in Boaz, Alabama on March 12, 2026. Our family person passed away and no one came forward to take us. We were so sad because not only did we lose our home but we lost the one person who loved us so much. So, we are looking for our forever family and home. We have so much love to give and we yearn to be loved. Please come visit us or call the shelter at 256-561-2411 if you are interested in us or need more information. Paws crossed that all of our hopes and dreams do come true. We weigh 59 pounds.

Our sweet, lovable and a little shy 5 year old Victory was adopted on October 24, 2026. Yay! Happy Dance! Victory was transferred to Second Chance North in Wisconsin. We want to thank our Second Chance North partners in helping this southern dog find her forever family and home. We could not do this without them. She will live in a foster home until she is adopted. How great is that. She didn't have to look too far for her adopted family. Turns out that her foster family just couldn't let her go. How great is that! Go enjoy your second chance in life Victory. You so deserve it. See baby. Dreams do come true! Victory was rescued by Albertville Animal Control on West Main Street in Albertville, Alabama back on September 11, 2023. She came to the shelter a very shy and scared girl. Victory was being sponsored by the Democratic Club of Marshall County and also Roy and Kitty Williams while she was at the shelter waiting to be adopted. Thank you Democratic Club and Roy and Kitty for helping our sweet Victory until she was adopted.

Happy News! It was meant to be! Sometimes things just work out and love finds a way. This sweet family met Cordelia about a month ago, at an event, but the timing wasn’t quite right. But when she just kept coming up in conversation, mom and dad decided maybe it was meant to be. Cordelia got the little girl she adored and who adores her right back! How great is that!

Our sweet and lovable 6 month old Cordelia was adopted on October 30, 2026 at Second Chance North in Wisconsin. Yay! Happy Dance! Go enjoy your second chance in life Cordelia. You so deserve it. See baby. Dreams do come true! Cordelia was rescued by Albertville Animal Control along with her brother Crosby. They came to Second Chance Shelter in Boaz, Alabama on August 20, 2026. Cordelia will get to celebrate her very 1st birthday on April 20, 2027 with her very own family that loves her and she loves them. How great is that! Happy Early 1st Birthday to you Cordelia. BTW, her brother Crosby has been adopted too. Yay! Happy Dance!
