Since it opened in 1999, hundreds of dogs have passed through the kennels doors and have gone on to wonderful new homes and families. On this page you will see some of those lucky dogs in their forever homes, and hear how they've settled in and how they've enriched their new families' lives.

Update on wee Daisy !! >>
Posted: 21st August 2012

Hi Folks thanks very much for the update on wee Daisy, so pleased she has settled in so well, another happy ending all round. xxx

Just wanted to say a big thank you for having Daisy rehomed with us. She has settled in like a duck to water and is loving her country walks and runs out in the car. She has filled a big void in our lives after having our last dog put to sleep because of an aggresive cancer on hid hind leg.
Daisy is a loving companion and has been admired by her vets. Thank you Frank, Ena and Sarah for placing Daisy with us.
Best Wishes
Robert and May.

Paddy ( was Patrick ) >>

Hello Frank and Ena,



Paddy your a very lucky boy, and you look as though you have your family firmly wrapped round your wee paws xx

As you can see I have settled in with my new family. I have lots of toys to play. Jack and Lewis play with me and take me long walks. I have chewed up a few things but my family are helping me work through this….. I have the run of a big garden with lots of room for me to play and dig holes and pull out the plants, its great fun. As you can see I have a favourite perch on the chair in the window here I can watch everything in the street and wait for Jack and Lewis to come home to play with me. I quite like falling asleep there too as you can see.

I will keep in touch, I hope all is well with you and thank you for looking after me.



Love Paddy Woof Woof

Murphy >>
Posted: 16th August 2012

Hi Rebecca,lovely to hear from you and thank you so much for the update on Murphy he looks fab, and I am so so pleased to hear Luna is still to the fore, long may she defy the vets !!. Love the pics xx



Hello Ena,Frank,and everyone at Second Chance. Hope all is
well with you. I have just spent a happy half hour on your
website looking through the photos of the happy hounds :-).
Lovely to see the Summer and Princess visited you recently (I
can't remember if they still have the same names).
I thought I would send a few photos of our adorable furbaby
Murphy, in one of his favourite places - on the deck by the
pond. If you tell him to "feed the fish" he races down there to
wait for you to bring the fish food! He sits very patiently,
watching the fish feed. Luckily he doesn't jump in, but one of
his doggie friends did a couple of months ago - a labrador
(surprise, surprise)!! The fish were a bit shy for a week or so,
but they're back feeding from our hands again now.
You will remember that our Gordon setter, Luna, was very ill, and
had a poor prognosis? Well, she continues to outwit and defy the
vet! She will be 12 on the 28th of August. She's still a
cheerful soul, who enjoys her food (especially fish, brussel
sprouts and rabbit) and being pampered and getting everything she
demands! There's a picture included of both of them on my bed!!
These days Luna usually needs help to get up there - she puts the
front of her body on, and waits for someone to come along and
give her back end a boost! If Murphy notices but we haven't, he
comes through to tell us she needs assistance - it's happened too
many times to be coincidence. Such a sweet boy! Luna doesn't
always want to go far on her walks these days, so we all go for
an amble until she's had enough, and then she goes inside for a
kip and I take Murphy out by himself. We have our first stubble
field now, just along from the house, and Murphy's LOVING it. I
get pleny of exercise and he gets individual training (which has
been a bit difficult when walking two dogs at once). He's coming
on really well.

Take care,
Rebecca (plus Alec, Murphy and Luna)

Keira >>
Posted: 15th August 2012

Keira also went to a lovely new home today xx
Hi, this is debby, Keira's new mum again.

Just to let you know that I've organised perpetuating her insurance coverage with Petplan.

Keira's doing splendidly. We still keep her on the lead for safety reasons between home and the park or the beach, but once we arrive, we can let her off the lead to have a fine run-about, which she thoroughly enjoys. (Yesterday we met up with a 9-month-old spaniel and he gave her quite a workout!)

Fringe benefits: my husband's lost a couple of kilos, thanks to the extra exercise!

So everyone's very happy.
Cheers!

Keira

Kia >>
Posted: 11th August 2012

Hi Liz & Robert,
Thank you so so much for the update on Kai, sorry we haven't been in touch, but we are coming up to having rehomed 3000 dogs now, which is good but it means we now rely on our adoptees getting in touch with us, and we really look forward to the updates x






Hello Ena and the gang, it is 5yrs since we adopted Kia the japanese akita and thought it was about time we gave you an update. We have had great pleasure from her although I do say she is a bit aloof at times :) she will talk only when she wants lol. We had a wee bit worrying time towards the end of last year when she had to have an op on her cruciate joint which unfortunately wasnt very successful as she took a really bad infection in the joint so poor thing was on several different trial antibiotics for over 4 months to get rid of it, the last resort was a completely new one which hadnt been tried so she was the one who tried it out and our prayers were answered it worked ! She is almost as good as new ,cannot do the long walks that we used to but there are the days when she would like to and still likes her bit of nonsense now and again:). We always say we were so lucky in getting her Ena and very fortunate that she is such a lovely dog, we are still stopped by people when out and about even our community police were concerned about her when she was ill. Once again thank you and your gang for all the good work that you do I look on the page every now and again to keep in touch, take care xx
Liz & Robert Godfrey

Bloo (Tigger's brother ) >>
Posted: 9th August 2012

Hi Ena & Frank,
I'll pop in tomorrow for Bloo's voucher. He's doing really well! It feels like he's always been here. He's such a friendly happy wee chap it's hard not to love him to bits! I've added a couple of photo's as I know you like to see how your dogs are doing. I promise I'll add more! He loves swimming and running after birds,rabbits,cats, people and cyclists but is very good with the kids.
Thanks,
Claire

Claire thanks for the update on " our boy " he certainly looks very happy, we especially love the one of him sleeping bless xxx.

Blaze >>
Posted: 2nd August 2012

Blaze came home to his family on 19/07/12. He has been a wee treasure - clean and obedient almost from the start. His doggy 'sister' Suzy has been helping him to settle. He is now enjoying off lead exercise on the beach and in the park, and he loves the garden - he is keen to 'help' with the digging! We all love him to bits!
Best wishes
Margaret and Bill Galbraith

Hi Margaret & Bill couldn't have asked for a better home "our" Blaze and he certainly looks well settled xxx
