Hello, Everyone - 🐾

Are you looking for a dog who ranks '10' on the Cuteness Scale? A gregarious, spirited lap dog? A dog who loves to play outside in the fenced-in yard with her canine friends? A little dog with a big personality?
A sunbathing dog? ☀️
A crate-trained dog?

If so, I may be the dog for you. My name is, 'Baby'. I have never met a stranger I didn't like - I love everyone! ❣️ Crinkly toys and Nylabones are my 'go to' toys. For snack time, I crunch on mini dog bones. 🦴

I have a job just like my foster mom. I take my job very seriously. I work from home Monday-Friday from 6:30-3:30. I sit on my foster mom's lap while she is working and provide moral support for her. 🩷 Shh . . . her lap is so comfortable that sometimes I fall asleep. Sleeping 'on the clock' - yikes! I could get fired! 😯

When my foster mom was asked to describe me, she said - "Baby is an overall pleasure to be around. She is alert and always comes when called". 🪻🌷

My medical history:

*Age: 4 1/2 months
*Weight: 3.6 lbs. (as of 7-21-26)
*Spayed
*Vaccines x2
*Rabies vaccine
*Wormed
*Flea prevention

Thank you for reading about me. If you are interested in adopting me, please click the link below to request an application.

My application deadline is Friday, August 21, 2026 at 5 pm.

My adoption fee: $150.00

Thank you! 🐶

Your friend,
Baby 🐾

Hello, Everyone -
My name is Poca. I am a very friendly and spirited girl. I enjoy life a lot!

I came from a family with six children, dogs, cats and a lot of chaos! My family wanted to move and worried about 'no pet policies'.
What if they found a rental home they really liked but the landlord did not allow pets?

That is how I arrived at Second Chance for Animals.

I'm learning how to walk on a leash and not to jump so much. I just can't help myself - I get so excited when I see people, I jump! ❤️

I love treats and Healthy Edibles Chew Bones. On my very first vet appt. with Dr. Carter at Humble Creatures Veterinary Clinic,
my foster family was told that I was a little underweight. That was wonderful news for me because now my family showers me with treats, bones, great food, and, trips to McDonald's and Starbuck's. I hope I stay 'underweight' for a long time! 😉

I haven't confirmed my ancestry with Ancestry.com but it has been said that l may be a descendent of 'Petey', Spanky's loyal dog from Our Gang/The Little Rascals show. Do you see the resemblance?

My medical history:

*8-9 months - (estimated age)
*spayed
*flea prevention
*rabies vaccine
*annual vaccines
*about 40 lbs

If you are interested in adopting me, please click the link below to request an application.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me. ❣️

Yours truly,
Poca 🐾🦴

Happy National Mutt Day! 🐶🦮🦴

National Mutt Day is celebrated twice a year on July 31st and December 2nd to embrace, save, and celebrate mixed-breed dogs. Animal welfare advocate, Colleen Paige, founded the day in 2005 to highlight the millions of dogs in shelters. 😥

Meet two of our adoptable, mixed-breed dogs, Poca and Louise. 🩷

We'd love for you to share a photo of your own mixed-breed, four-legged family member in honor of this special day! 🐾
