Second Chance Dog Rescue
WELCOME
At Second Chance Dog Rescue our mission is to rescue dogs facing cruelty and neglect and find them loving new homes where they can flourish and lead their best lives.
We work with rescuers in the Balkans and further afield as well as with dogs facing an uncertain future here in the UK. We support our dogs for life providing our fosterers and adopters with aftercare and support whenever they need it.
We have no employed staff and rely totally on our volunteers and supporters for our continued existence. Their generosity is beyond belief and has enabled us to save over 3,000 dogs since we were founded in 2018.
If you care about dogs, please consider supporting us by donating, volunteering or following us on social media. Your support is so important to us.
Featured Dog
WILMA
ADOPTION
ESTIMATED AGE: 2 years, 1 months
SEX: Female
LOCATION: Grantham, Lincolnshire
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Romania
BREED: Mixed
SIZE/WEIGHT: Medium
Gorgeous Wilma was saved from the streets when found with a badly injured paw. Despite initially having it operated on she sadly ended up having her leg amputated.
Ever since she was rescued Wilma has loved humans. She craves being near her rescuer and just loves fuss and attention. She is so friendly and loving and such a loyal girl.
As a tri paw Wilma copes really well on 3 legs. She is a social girl and enjoys being around other dogs. She has been getting used to being on a lead and is doing great! She is used to a home environment and is house trained too.
Wilma has been though a lot and still remains the most loving friendly people orientated girl, she is ready to travel and would love to find her forever family so she can come to the UK.

SPAY IT FORWARD
Our new spay and neuter programme
Every hour, thousands of puppies are born into suffering . Most won’t make it, they are born to die. Some will live short lives filled with abuse, disease, or neglect, only to die cold and alone. Others will survive just long enough to keep the cycle going.
One unspayed female dog and her offspring can produce over 60,000 puppies in just 6 years. That’s not just a statistic, that’s a crisis.
Rescue and rehoming alone is not enough. We need to fight back and tackle the root cause of why dogs end up in rescue at all.
Adopt to Stop
From 1st September 2025, we increased our adoption fees by £20 for all new applications and applied these extra funds to our campaign to spay and neuter a dog still waiting for rescue, whether in a pound, shelter, or on the streets.
Adoption should mean more than a new home, it should mean hope for the dog you take home and the one you’ll never meet but still save. When you adopt from us you don’t just change one life, you will help to stop the cycle.
You Spay it Forward.
The number of dogs spayed or neutered since we started our campaign in September 2025 is now:
