We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt // // Little Bit is a sweet little flirt with her little gentleman boyfriend Dwight. These two are a perfect example of two dogs being easier than just one: they eat together, sleep together, entertain each other, and hang out with their people for lap time. Dwight and Little Bit were surrendered to the shelter with signs of neglect and both needed extensive dental surgery. They can now eat without pain, have gained weight, and have twice the energy and charm. This cuddly pair want to find a home together and stay with their people for the rest of their lives. Little Bit is 7yo and Dwight is 8yo who, being small and long-living Chihuahuas, have many more loving years ahead of them. Each weighs approximately 5lbs. Both are good on leashes, walk well in harnesses, travel well in the car, and will sleep in a bed together at night. Both are house trained and pee-pad trained in their foster's home. Dwight might mark at first, but once settled in his foster home he has become more polite (foster will provide a belly band for Dwight to help with his transition). Little Bit is more of a risk taker. Dwight will protect a toy and considers a rabbit chase around the back yard the most fun ever. Dwight is the lover and snuggle champ, and Little Bit wants to look into your eyes before claiming her half of your lap. Little Bit can get up into your lap on her own, but Dwight will ask for a hand up. Little Bit is the determined one and will try to find a way over a low fence if your couch is on the other side. They are friendly with other little dogs, but will bark at cats and might consider chasing a skittish cat a fun game. Little Bit and Dwight would be okay with older children who understand just how fragile these two are, and who will look under a blanket before sitting down on the couch. Their favorite night is TV night, as both are dedicated couch potatoes and always want a warm space to burrow under the blankets. Dwight and Little Bit are up-to-date on shots and microchipped. Both dogs have had dentals. Little Bit is spayed and Dwight is neutered. Little Bit's adoption fee is $250. All of our dogs are in private volunteer foster homes, and as such these individuals are most qualified to answer any questions regarding the dog. We do not have a central shelter or kennel locations - you must make a private one-on-one meet and greet appointment with each individual dog at the foster family's convenience. To protect our foster families' privacy, we must have an APPROVED adoption application on file before we release their contact information. All of our dogs are fixed (spayed/neutered) and up to date on shots. We have a 2 week foster-to-adopt period to make sure the dog is a fit for your family. Adoption fees vary from dog-to-dog. Please note that an approved application DOES NOT guarantee that the dog will be placed with you. The final decision rests with our fosters as they know the dogs the best, and please be aware that there may be other applicants interested in the same dog. We continue accepting applications on a dog until the dog is with the new adoptive family in their home. Thank you for visiting our dogs located at www.SecondChanceDogRescue.org

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
