Second Chance Dog Rescue is one of San Diego’s largest non-profit 501c3 organizations dedicated to saving homeless dogs. We are not a shelter but a dog rescue and all of our dogs are in private foster homes until they are adopted.
All of our rescue dogs are in private volunteer foster homes. We do not have a central shelter or kennel location - you must make a private one-on-one meet and greet appointment with each individual dog at the foster family's convenience. Our volunteer fosters are most qualified to answer any questions regarding the dog. To protect our foster families' privacy, we must have an APPROVED application on file before we release their contact information. We may receive several applcations for one dog and we do our best keep our site up to date with available dogs. 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.

Our goal is to make a good "match" so that both the pets and their human caretakers are happy. In our adoptions we accompany the pet to the new home as we have found this the best way to help the animal transition most easily into the new home. For this reason, we are looking for adopters in the Southern California area, preferably San Diego County.
