"We wouldn’t take a million dollars for Weaver!” say Gretchen and Alvin Muller,
new forever guardians of Weaver.

Hearts and Paws Make for Wagging Tails

Our new logo encompasses more than just the heart and paws that Second Chance has for it's dogs; it clearly showed us at Music For Mutts 2009 that the people who participated opened their hearts to our paws.  From the volunteers, to the band, to the people who sent in donations and to those who stopped by, all did so with open, gracious and generous hearts.  We are finding our new logo isn’t just about us, but about all those who care about us, too. Just like when you adopt a dog, sometimes you get more than you bargained for, and we did.
 Thank you!

Dogs, Kids, Music and Shopping

2nd Annual Music for Mutts Festival - 2009
 
If you missed Music For Mutts 2009, you missed a great time! The Blackketter Brothers Band were AWESOME with their classic rock and roll and some of their original music throw in. The kids who came got an eyeful when we were showing off Hoover, a beautiful temperament correct pit bull, while walking him around the hall. The kids were also amazed at Weaver, a 3 legged dog who traveled an hour to visit and show people that a tripod dog is just as good as a quad dog. Weaver came originally to Second Chance with an injury so bad, his back leg had to be amputated. Asia, one of the first pit bulls to be adopted, traveled with her guardian Judy 1½ hours to enjoy the festivities, too.  The vendors we had were a wonderful addition with their beads, jewelry, home-made jams, beautiful art, and crocheted items.  The burgers and hot dogs were a real hit, thanks to our kitchen crew.

Second Chance had 3 tables full of information about our programs and classes, pictures of adoptable dogs and the ever popular, wall of chains, which are the chains that some of the dogs came in with still attached to them when Animal Control brought them in.
