Dogs 2nd Chance Rescue
Dogs 2nd Chance is an all-volunteer dog rescue and nonprofit animal rescue serving Memphis and the Mid-South.
We pull dogs from high-risk shelters and the streets, place them with foster families, and find loving, permanent homes through dog adoption.
As a Memphis dog rescue and Mid-South dog rescue, we rely entirely on donations and volunteers.
There’s no shelter facility or paid staff standing between you and our rescue dogs.
Areas we serve include Munford, Memphis and Mid-South, with transport to Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut.
Get involved: adopt, foster, volunteer, meet dogs at a pet adoption event, or donate to support our rescue work.Alert! Dogs 2nd Chance Faces Closure!
