# Dogs 2nd Chance: Dogs 2nd Chance is an all-volunteer, nonprofit dog rescue based in Munford, TN, serving Memphis and the Mid-South with transport to the Northeast. We pull dogs from high-risk shelters and the streets, place them in foster homes, and find them loving, permanent homes through adoption.
