My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ATTENTION:  All of our dogs are in private foster homes.  We do NOT have a kennel with multiple dogs.  If you find a dog you want to meet in person, please go to www.secondchancedogrescue.org and complete an application.    We will make every attempt to process all applications within 3 business days of receipt.


Introducing the radiant Larissa! At just 2+ year old and weighing 38 pounds, she is a pointer/pitbull mix. She’s is a high-energy, smart, cuddly, ready to please, loves to play tug-of-war and fetch, enjoys going to the beach, parks, dog park. Also gives absolutely the best hugs and affection.

She very much enjoys being around people and has made friends with everyone my complex. She is also good at giving you some space and she will happily lounge around next to you or on your lap.

She knows many commands, sit, down, off, wait, come, place, how to leash walk, etc. Understands basics like not to be on furniture unless invited. Understands what are her toys and when to leave us alone while eating

She’s doesn’t bark much or at all in the house. The exception is the occasional dog going by the courtyard fence but we are working on it. Inside almost no issues.  

I take her long walks, and bike rides at the mission beach boardwalk every day. Does well in the car and even in a store if need be.

She’s good with other dogs after they meet or can become friends, she does not respond well to aggressive dogs or dogs barking at her through a fence.

She is crate trained but would do best in a home where she is not left in a cage or pen for long periods of time during the day. I have kept her in my apartment for a few months w/o issue but would love a backyard too to help with the energy burn. 

She is one of the best potty-trained dogs I’ve met.

Her only quirk is she is fearful of being left outside after the sun goes down, so very much enjoys being inside at night with people or in nice quiet corner. She wont want to go for walks or go outside much after dark. Sometimes she'll find a paper product like toiletpaper or plastic bags and will tear those up as a stress releaser after dark or when left alone. 

I’ve been working with her for a few months and just recently Second Chance Dog Rescue got her hooked up with a trainer and I am reinforcing her lessons, helping with barking through the fence making her an even better great walker/companion. Larissa's adoption fee is $300.

 



All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption.   Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs,   vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to  www.secondchancedogrescue.org  and complete an application today!    All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an Adoption Questionnaire to be completed - whether online or in person - before meeting any of our dogs. Upon approval of the Questionnaire, a potential adopter will be required to complete an Adoption Contract and pay adoption fees. All of our adoptions start with the first 2 weeks as a 'trial' period, to ensure the adoption is a good fit. Adoption of a puppy may require a refundable training deposit, which will be refunded upon completion of training with a Certfied dog trainer, and submission of certificate of completion to our office.

Visit our website at www.SecondChanceDogRescue.org for a list of upcoming Adoption Events. Additionally, our foster parents may schedule one on one meetings with potential owners and provide a personalized adoption experience.

More about this rescue

Second Chance Dog Rescue was formed to fulfill a desperate need in the community to Rescue, Rehabilitate & Re-home homeless dogs from the over-crowded local shelters, and from families who can no longer take care of their dogs (on a case-by-case basis only).

Our program is based on foster care, and all rescued dogs spend their first days at a loving foster home where they receive personalized care. As part of our program, we ensure that all dogs are vaccinated, are spayed or neutered, and have been socialized by their foster family. In addition, Second Chance Dog Rescue provides support for potential new owners and monitors progress for both new pet parents and their adopted dogs. This helps guarantee that our dogs go to good, loving, forever homes.
