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.

Stella setting off to her new home. >>
Posted: 24th July 2013

Well I have found my new home,my folks had Ben, who was a former Second Chance boy, who sadly passed away last October he was about thirteen and had a brilliant home. His family feel the time is now right to adopt again, which is why Ena had no hesitation when Sharon and the girls came to visit and offered me a home.This is me with mum and the girls, and me in my new home xxx

 

 

Hello Ena

 

I've only been at my new home for a few hours and I have

 

already met the whole family, explored my new garden, had a nap in my

 

new bed after having had a little walk. I have also had two meals. Hope

 

you like my photos.

 

love
Stella.
Thanks for the update and photo's Stella you certainly look at home xx

Diane & Richard & Merlin of course, thanks very much for the photo,glad he's settling in well hope he and the peacock are doing okay xxx
Hello,
Apologies for not doing this sooner. Enjoying the weather outside too much!
Merlin is doing very well and had his operation on Monday which he
bounced back from very quickly. He still finds everything new and
exciting going out for walks, he went to the beach yesterday and enjoyed
it, but he'll settle with experience and age. In the house he is very
settled and friendly and everyone remarks at what a nice character he
has when they visit.
I've attached a photograph as requested.
Diana

This is me getting ready to go home (aw that sounds so good that word)
Of course I wouldn't sit still just had to be giving my new big brother kisses. Love Korkie xx.
Hi Ena,
Here I am in bed with Doug out in the garage. This is where Doug goes for a quiet lie down in the day. As you can see there's room for me too although Doug's not sure about that! I have not left his side and he's now gone into the bedroom with the door shut for some peace.
I went for a walk today with Chris and walked beautifully. Met a couple of other dogs and was as good as gold. Also met Chris's friends cat - no bother, just healthy respect for each other.
Chris and Jim both have comfy laps and getting lots of cuddles. Jim is a bit concerned because I won't leave Doug alone but I will settle!!!!!! Ate all my tea in record time and love running about in the garden - attached to Doug.
Think I will sleep well tonight.
Love and kisses
Korkie x x x
Update 2nd Day in my new "Home "

Love from Korkie.

Red & Chad Very Well Done. >>
Posted: 11th July 2013

Hi Guys look at you both with all your trophy's and rossettes, you have done so very well, To think Red you were brought in as "Poppy "when you were only four months, because you were too boisterous, and Chad was only about the same age when he was brought in because he Hated children. Both Frank and myself take our hats to to your mum and dad for working so well with you and Chad whose your best pal? yes the wee grandson.

Thank you to Kate & Wilson for not only adopting Red & Chad, you had adopted Sabe first of all at five months. then Chad then Red then Breet and last but not least Star. All doing brilliantly well.

Yes we will come and see you all real soon but remember to have Brett's case packed and we'll just bring him back with us.

As f that was ever going to happen !!!!

Lots of Love Auntie Ena & Uncle Frank xxx

Wilson says the last picture I sent is a police line up for who pee'd on the awning !!!!

From left to right Sabe /Chad /Red / Brett / and Star all Second Chancers.

Who said we were proud !!!

Ps> Love my mug xx

GOOD LUCK AT TRANET, NOT THAT YOU'LL NEED IT XXX

Hello Auntie Ena and Uncle Frank (and everyone at Second Chance)

These are picture of me (Red) and Chad with the trophies and rossettes we won at Lune Valley show last week. Asyou can see from the pictures we are not keen when the camera comes out but mum and dad insisted.

Mum and dad are very proud of us both, I move grade 4 this weekend at the show we are going to in Tranent so fingers crossed I do ok in it.

We are all doing well, Star has sore paws just not because Brett (The Patterdale remember him) keeps running her into the long grass where we train and she is only a puppy, he is just stupid.

Mum says you might be coming to see us soon I hope so it will be lovely to see you both.

Take care

Love

Red, Chad, Sabe, Axle, Buzz, Kai, Faith, Star and Brett (the patterdale)

Ena & Frank

Thought you might like a few recent pictures of Jess. She has been with us for nearly 2 months now and we still count ourselves so lucky to have her, she is such a lovely lovely girl. I think she has aspirations in landscape gardening but I'm not too keen on her ideas! She and Jake are inseparable.

Laura thanks for the pics I especially like the one where they are lying sleeping, but all are lovely, so pleased she settled in so well even down to the landscaping !! xx

Bailey going home. >>
Posted: 4th July 2013

We received a phone call from one of the vets in our area saying a wee Jack Russell had been brought in to be euthanised as his owner had passed away, and could we take him in. Well he came in and his wee paws hardly touched the kennel floor when this lovely lady came in and fell in love with him, so he is off to the vets for a check over ect : then going home with his new mum. What a lovely happy ending for him. Bailey sends his thanks mto Sandra at the vets, but for her he wouldn't be here now.xx
