Story
Beau will be 2 in February. He is a fixed German Shephard / Siberian Husky Mix. Treat Trained. Knows commands. Can be vocal around new people but acclimates fairly quickly and stays quiet. Good walker. Better as a single home dog with adults and /or older children, no cats. He currently lives with his "sister", a young female German Shepherd, but would likely thrive solo. Active pretty guy who is very gentle, loves cheese, toys, peanut butter, and belly scratches. He e is crate trained, house trained, and has multiple beds & toys we can provide. He loves walks or running in a fenced yard, and horseplay. Due to a progressing cancer diagnosis, we need to find him a loving forever home asap.

Chachi

Rat Terrier Chihuahua

Male, Adult
White Bear Lake, MN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
We are a retired couple. We have been traveling extensively and just bought a home in Gulfport. All the traveling is hard on Chachi, he needs a place to be without moving around so much. Chachi is a loving little dog who loves to snuggle with you. He can be on his own at home. He likes his "home" kennel. He is good with people once he gets to know them, same with kids. At first he can be very nervous and barking at strangers. He is good on walks and is overjoyed to ride in the car. He is mostly good with other dogs, sometimes barks at larger black dogs. He came from Texas where he was raised by a family that could no longer keep him. We have had him three years and we do love him, but think he needs a more stable home life. Not so much traveling around.

Chase

Labrador Retriever Husky

Male, 7 yrs 8 mos
White Bear Lake, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Chase is a 7.5 yr old male black lab, shepherd, husky mix with blue eyes- he's a big guy at 86#, and this is his ideal weight. He previously lived with people that were happy to have him in the family, but didn't really spend any time with obedience training - Chase knows his name but no commands. The foster is teaching him to sit for a treat. He is also learning leash manners - still tends to pull if he wants to check something out. He enjoys time outside, and being part husky, he will vocalize to you when he wants to go out. Actually, he also does that when he wants treats and pets......you just have to figure out which one he wants. Because he can get over a 4 ft. high fence, Chase needs a 5 ft fenced enclosure so he can safely be outside for extended periods, or he will need to be on a tieout. Chase enjoys walks, and will chase after small critters in the yard. There are 2 felines in his foster home and he ignores them. He is almost indifferent to the other dog in his foster home, and would be perfectly content to be the "only dog". He enjoys chewing on bones (tends to bury them when he is done chewing) and on rope toys; some interest in balls, but not in retrieving them. Chase likes some attention from his people, especially pets and belly rubs - he's a dog that will sit close to you, but not necessarily snuggle. Well behaved indoors, and has free run of the house when left - thus far he's been left for about 4 hrs. but the foster expects he would be fine up to 8 hrs. Chase is housebroken, and will come over to you, "talk", and walk to the door when he needs to go out. He sheds seasonally, and will need brushing in the spring to remove the winter undercoat he develops. I don't know if he has ever lived with children - Chase is a mature dog, and not interested in playing. Chase is neutered and current on distemper and rabies vaccinations. His microchip is registered to Second Chance. Chase has a $275 adoption fee. If you are interested in meeting him, call 651-771-5662.

Mister

Labrador Retriever

Male, 2 yrs 6 mos

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Did you know the great jazz singer Billie Holiday had a beloved dog named Mister? Mister was her constant companion and so loved there was even a children’s book written about them. Well, we think we have a pretty special Mister too and he is looking for his forever home. Mister came to us from Texas where he spent 240 days at a shelter waiting to be chosen by a family, likely because black dogs are the last ones to be chosen. The shelter in Texas called him a “gold star” dog because of his sweet demeanor. Second Chance saw his glowing profile and soon Mister was on a transport making the long trip to Minnesota. This handsome guy is about 2.5 years old and weighs 70#. Mister settled into life in Minnesota well and like many of the Texas dogs we take into the program, is delighted by snow. He’s moderately active – a daily walk or two is needed but he doesn’t require an excessive amount of exercise. Mister LOVES his foster mom, and we suspect he will bond quickly with his forever family. He is currently the only dog in the household but does well with the other dogs at doggie daycare. We think he would be just fine being the only dog in the house since he tends to seek out people wherever he goes. Mister loves toys, but quickly shreds soft toys. Long lasting bones to chew or puzzle toys tend to keep him entertained longer. True to his lab roots, this guy likes to eat. To make sure he doesn’t inhale his food, Mister’s foster mom feeds him using a slow bowl. If you don’t have one of those, adding some tennis balls to the bowl works well. Even though he devours his food, he isn’t much of a beggar and doesn’t counter surf. Also true to his lab roots, he likes to swim in the pool at daycare! We imagine he’d appreciate a chance to swim here and there, whether it’s a pool or a lake! Mister is unsure about the fast movements and variety of noises made by small children. Because of that we feel he would fit best in a home with no children or older children who are used to living with a dog. He likes to cuddle, but on his own terms – he doesn’t always appreciate being hugged but will seek out his person when he’s ready for affection. Mister is reliably house trained and barks appropriately. He does well in the house when left alone and has never needed a kennel. Mister loves to sleep with his foster mom at night and would likely try to share the bed in his forever home as well. Mister is neutered and is current on rabies and distemper vaccinations. His heartworm and tick panel were all negative, and he has a microchip. His adoption fee is $375. If you’re interested in learning more about our gold star, Mister, please call Second Chance at 651-771-5662.

Cash - NEED FOSTER

Great Pyrenees

Male, 4 yrs
White Bear Lake, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cash is a big, gentle, 4 year old, 84# Pyrenees mix softie with big, brown soulful eyes. He loves being with people and desperately wants to be part of a family. He wants to be close but is not super needy. He is a loyal protector who is alert to anything outside “his” home that might disturb “his” family. That could be anything from dogs barking down the street to trucks pulling up. He has a deep loud bark that might be a problem in an apartment or a place with shared walls. Cash was a stray from an over crowded southern shelter but with his long fur coat he is wonderful for Minnesota’s winters. He enjoys being outdoors, and a fenced yard is required so that he can do his due diligence & keep his yard safe. Cash walks well on leash without much pulling and is easily redirected if he does tug. He really loves his walks. He knows some commands like sit, shake, lay down, and will follow the command of “wait / stay” before getting his food. He seems to understand “come” but his independent nature leads him to sometimes think about whether he wants to obey or not. Cash is not a high energy dog; he loves to cuddle and to be around people; he is housetrained & will let you know when he needs to go out & potty. He likes to graze his food so it’s best to feed him 3 or 4 smaller meals daily if possible. He can be a counter-surfer due to his size. He is kennel/crate-trained but likes a treat incentive to go in. He sleeps in his kennel at night but likely would love to sleep with his people. He seems to like everyone and has been good with all the dogs he has met; the shelter he was in used him as a “dog test” dog to determine if other dogs were dog friendly or not. He has been to a dog park and was sociable with the dogs there but was not interested in playing with them. His only fault, probably because he was a stray and often went without food, is that he will tend to guard his food around other dogs (not with people). He does best with a slow-feeder bowl. So he would do best as an only dog in the home. Because of this behavior, he might not be a match with cats. His curious nature and desire to please his people will make him a wonderful companion to the right family. Cash has been in boarding for a couple weeks. He is such a wonderful dog that he deserves to find a family, and is neutered and vaccinated. While fostering, Second Chance can provide food and supplies (if needed) and cover medical costs. An adopter would have the first opportunity to adopt Cash. If you have questions, or can offer to foster, call 651-771-5662. PS - I met Cash at the boarding facility - if I didn't already have 3 dogs and a cat, he would have come home with me !!
