Dogs 2nd Chance is a Tennessee dog rescue based in Munford, just north of Memphis, and we place dogs with families across the Mid-South, not just one city. We’re volunteer-run and foster-based: no shelter building, no paid staff. To adopt, foster, volunteer, or donate, start with those links.
Our Service Area Across Tennessee
We’re based in Munford, and most of our foster homes and adopters are within driving distance of Memphis. We’ve also placed dogs with families well beyond the city, including adopters in Clinton, TN, on the other side of the state. If you’re anywhere in Tennessee and willing to make the trip (or meet a foster halfway), we’re worth a look.
How Adoption Works, Wherever You Are in TN
Every dog is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and evaluated by a foster before adoption. Read About Adopting a Dog for the details, then submit an Adoption Application. Local to the Memphis area? Check our upcoming adoption events to meet dogs in person.
A Tennessee Adoption Story
Ken and Nancy, who live in Clinton, TN, adopted their dog Gypsy (formerly Bridgett) from Dogs 2nd Chance in 2014. It’s proof that a Munford-based rescue can still be the right fit for a family on the other side of the state. Read their Q&A.
