Had an amazing time volunteering today! Right after completing orientation, I got to jump right in and work their event. I absolutely loved it. Met so many incredible dogs, including an adorable pit bull who completely stole my heart. If you're looking for a great organization to support or volunteer with, I cannot recommend them enough!
About Second City Canine Rescue
Second City Canine Rescue is an excellent organization with professional staff, providing top-notch service. Volunteers praise the friendly and helpful environment, while adopters appreciate the smooth process, accurate information, and post-adoption support. The rescue is dedicated to finding forever homes for dogs, ensuring a happy and healthy transition. The facility is clean, open, and airy, making it a special place for dogs and adopters alike. The staff and foster caregivers are caring and helpful, offering great advice throughout the adoption. Adoption events can be frustrating, but the rescue is honest about each dog's behavior and needs. Many dogs, like those with major health issues or fears, find loving homes through SCCR, which carefully vets prospective owners to ensure good matches. The true value of adopting from SCCR lies in saving a homeless dog and experiencing the unconditional love animals give, which cannot be measured in monetary terms.

If you see this and are looking to love and care for a dog and want a trustworthy, ethical rescue, please choose Second City!
