Dogs 2nd Chance Rescue

Dogs 2nd Chance is an all-volunteer dog rescue and nonprofit animal rescue serving Memphis and the Mid-South.

White and black rescue dog running outdoors

Areas we serve include Munford, Memphis and Mid-South, with transport to Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut.

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.

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!
