Thank you Susan

Susan adopted Dylan, an older shepherd mix. A dog we couldn't kill because of his age, but a dog that would have a hard time  being placed into a new home. Thank you, Susan, for seeing this boy as a viable new addition to your home.

Susan wanted to do something for us and offered her old laptop so that we could have a computer in our storage/office building. We were beside ourselves with this generous gift. But when Susan came to deliver the laptop she said she just didn't want to give us a used laptop and felt bad soooo -- she presented us with a brand spanking new Dell Laptop.

Oh my goodness. Words cannot even convey what we are feeling here at the shelter. We run on a song and a prayer. With people like Susan, we are singing rather than praying right now. We can now invite a person into our "office" and complete adoption paperwork instead of leaving people out in the parking lot.

Angels come in all shapes, forms, and sizes. Susan, you are an angel for our dogs, and an angel for Second Chance Pet Rescue. Thank you for your incredible generosity.

AKC Star Puppy Graduates

Adult Obedience Class Grads

Six weeks have come and gone. What started out as 6 participants became, in the end, 3 participants. We are very proud of those 3 that stuck with it and graduated with an AKC Canine Good Citizen certification.

Each participant in class wanted something specific, besides basic obedience skills. Kim wanted Kia to be more accepting of other dogs and people. This was accomplished but Kim and Kia will be coming to our next class to get some additional reinforcement.

Sher wanted Crash to react calmly and appropriately with other people and dogs. A rescue dog, Crash far exceeded all of our expectations and was the perfect pupil. Sher has enrolled in a more advanced training course to further the bond she and Crash have created together.

Juanita was concerned with Sasha's aggression toward certain dogs and wanted to establish more harmonious meetings and introductions to other dogs Sasha may encounter. Sasha met several new dogs that we brought in while in class and Juanita's handling skills were superb. Sasha's control was great because she had a fabulous owner who was on top of her trigger points.

Also pictured is Stephania, our Assistant Trainer and AKC Evaluator. Stephania comes out to the shelter twice a week to work and train with our shelter residents.

Congratulations to our graduates. You've all worked very hard and deserve a high five and job well done!
