Ace is the perfect name for this cool customer, as he is an ace-in-the-hole find and a real winner!
Read more about Ace
He's just a puppy and can get into a lot of trouble so you'll need to be willing to give him lots of gentle guidance, so he can learn all those big dog things, like how to behave in a house, what a crate is for, how to walk on a leash without pulling, and all those verbal commands every dog should know. He may even treat people with rough play or decide that a new pair of shoes or a table leg would make a great chew toy, so a lot of appropriate toys should be in his future. The good news is that with the right training and LOTS of love, he'll be the best addition to your family ever and your best bud.
If you are interested in him, please send an email to SCP! Applications can be found on our website at secondchancepets.org under the "Forms" tab. Please complete and return to SCP for review!

3. Gypsy
Gypsy and her sister Stormi were dumped in a hay field with their mom and had no food, water or shelter. We estimate her birth date to be early April 2026 and think she is a mix of Shepherd, lab, boxer and maybe Catahoula Leopard Dog with an estimated adult weight of 45 to 47 lbs. She is mostly house trained and uses a doggy door when she needs to go potty. She has a sweet/silly personality, loves and is kissy on people, cats, and other dogs. When not playing, her calm side comes alive. She likes to watch TV or lay upside down on the couch nearby when you on a computer or reading or with her dog friends and cats. She especially likes to watch you cook (she is very food oriented). She is attentive to her family, bonds easily and is making great progress on her leash and obedience training learning all the commands a puppy needs to know. She does great in a car but has gotten car sick on rare occasions. She loves to play with toys, collect them in her bed and chew on chewies (lots of them). She especially likes her squeaky toys, sucks on her favorite, will carry them around gently and then decide it's time to shred them so you will need to keep few spares available for a while. Gypsy will need an active family and/or doggy playmate. She's also looking for a loving home with a yard big enough that she can run and play and that is secured with a 6ft wooden fence which is not near a busy street. The good news is that with the right training and LOTS of love, she will be the best addition to your family ever and your best bud, ready to go when you are.

5. Knox Oath
Meet Knox Oath!
At just 1 year old and 14 pounds, Knox Oath is a bundle of energy, curiosity, and playful puppy charm! This busy boy wants to know what you’re doing at all times, and if you’re touching something, you can bet he’ll have his nose right there to investigate. Getting dressed can be an adventure with Knox around!
Knox LOVES, loves, loves to play, especially with squeaky toys! He also enjoys running the fence with the neighbor dogs in the backyard and would do well with a playful canine companion who can help him burn off some of that energy.
Read more about Knox Oath
Knox seems to be house-trained, with just one accident on his first day, and he has already learned to use the doggie door. He was pretty wound up during his first few nights, but he’s beginning to settle into his new routine. With consistency, patience, and continued training, this smart boy should keep making progress.
Knox has occasionally shown some food or toy guarding, growling when he feels the need to protect something. While he has not bitten, this is something his future family will need to take seriously and work on through positive-reinforcement training and appropriate management.
Knox is looking for an active family ready for fun, games, and the commitment to help him learn his manners. He has plenty of energy to spare, a curious nose that never quits, and lots of playful personality packed into his 16-pound body. And when playtime is over? He’s happy to be a lap dog, too!
If you’re looking for a lively little sidekick who will keep you smiling and keep you on your toes, Knox Oath might just be your perfect match!

6. Woody Scout
Meet Woody!
Woody is a handsome 4-year-old, 15-pound red long-haired Dachshund who has already been through more than any dog should. He came to the shelter as a stray, sadly dragging his feet and struggling to walk normally. He spent almost a month waiting for someone to come for him, and thankfully, Dachshund Rescue of Houston did!
Woody is now safe and resting comfortably in a loving foster home. He can walk, although he still has a funny gait, so for now he is enjoying some well-deserved Kennel rest to give his body the time it needs to heal completely.
Read more about Woody Scout
Despite everything he has been through, Woody hasn't let it dampen his spirits. He is a fun, friendly, affectionate boy who loves nothing more than being close to his people. He is a wonderful lap dog and especially enjoys being cuddled and rocked like a baby.
Woody is housetrained, crate trained, leash trained, and does well in the car. He is playful and goofy, but also obedient, intelligent, eager to please, gentle, and even-tempered. He enjoys attention and affection and seems to have a naturally sweet disposition. We believe Woody could be a wonderful addition to a home with children, older adults, and other friendly dogs.
For now, Woody's job is simple: rest, heal, get healthy, and enjoy being loved. Once his body catches up with his happy spirit, we think this special boy is going to make someone an absolutely wonderful companion.
Woody has waited long enough for someone to choose him. Now he just needs a family who will give him the love and patience he deserves.

7. Petey Justice
Meet Petey!
Petey is a 3-year-old, 14-pound bundle of joy with a smile that can brighten anyone's day. This handsome little guy had a rough start after being found as an injured stray. Because of his injury, his tail had to be docked, but don't let that fool you. If Petey isn't sleeping, he's wagging what he has left with pure happiness!
Read more about Petey Justice
Life as a beloved pet is still a new adventure for Petey, and he's embracing it one day at a time. He has a big appetite and not just for food, but for love and attention, too. He adores being close to his people and is happiest curled up in a lap or soaking up affection. He's eager to please, even-tempered, and has been described by the veterinary staff as a "super sweet, happy boy."
Like many former strays, Petey hasn't quite forgotten that food can be scarce. He's an enthusiastic little trash scavenger, so keeping tempting snacks and garbage out of reach will help set him up for success. With consistency and patience, he's continuing to learn what it means to be a cherished family member.
Petey can be a little protective when first meeting new people, but once he realizes you're a friend, his sweet and affectionate nature shines through. He rides well in the car, gets along with other dogs, is great with adults, and is always ready to be your loyal sidekick.
Petey has overcome a difficult beginning and is now looking for the happy ending he deserves. If you're searching for a devoted companion with a heart as big as his smile, Petey is ready to wag his way right into your life.
Petey is proof that sometimes the sweetest souls just need someone to give them a second chance.

8. Orville
Meet Orville, the Wright brother who apparently decided that flying was best accomplished four paws at a time. Give him a toy and he’s cleared for takeoff—chasing it, pouncing on it, and occasionally achieving impressive levels of airborne enthusiasm. But Orville’s favorite destination isn’t the toy box; it’s right beside his people receiving belly rubs and sharing kisses. Attention is his true fuel, and he’s always ready for another flight plan as long as it includes playtime, affection, and someone to appreciate his considerable charm. With Orville around, you may not get much done—but you’ll have a first-class co-pilot.

9. Dorothy
Meet Dorothy, a 6-month-old German Shepherd and one of four sisters named after the Golden Girls. We must admit her personality does not fit her name. Right now she is all legs, and just enjoying the life of a puppy. She loves playing with other dogs, thinks water is pretty much the best invention ever, and is working on her leash skills and other puppy basics. She’s got plenty of growing up to do, but this girl is already making quite a splash—sometimes literally! Dorothy is ready to find her forever family, where she can keep learning, playing, and showing off that fabulous fur.
10. Blanche
Meet Blanche, one of four German Shepherd puppies named after the Golden Girls. Like her namesake, she is full of charm, but the similarity stops there. She’s is, after all, a German Shepherd puppy, and therefore, busy perfecting a different set of social skills—making dog friends, playing hard, and figuring out what all those human words like “sit” and “come” are supposed to mean! She’s playful, loves the company of other dogs, and is just beginning her journey toward becoming a well-mannered young lady. She has plenty of time to master the basics, and with those German Shepherd brains, we suspect she’ll catch on quickly. For now, she’s happy to make friends, have fun, and charm everyone she meets. After all, you don’t have to be a Golden Girl to be golden!

She’s already decided you’re her hero; she’s simply waiting for you to figure out that she might be yours, too.

18. Sebastian
DOB 4/7/25, weight 54 #
Hi there! I'm Sebastian, and my foster mom describes me as a super-energetic, happy-go-lucky teenager who is always ready for the next adventure. If you are looking for a dog who will keep you active, entertained, and smiling every day, I just might be your perfect match!
My Ideal Day
Read more about Sebastian
My perfect day starts with an epic game of fetch in the backyard. When we are not playing fetch, I love to start a game of "catch me if you can," so be prepared to keep up with my zoomies! After that, it's time to find some water. Whether it's a splash pad, kiddie pool, or even the backyard hose, I absolutely love splashing around and having fun in the water. Seriously -- I could play in the water all day. To wrap up the day, I'd love a long walk before settling in beside you for some well-earned cuddle time.
My Perfect Match
Energy Level: High! I need lots of daily exercise, playtime, and mental enrichment to keep me happy.
Home Preference: A home with a securely fenced yard is highly recommended so I can safely run, play, and burn off my energy.
People & Pets: Because I'm an enthusiastic young dog, I'd do best with active owners and older children who can enjoy my playful style. I have a strong instinct to chase cats, so I'll need a feline-free home. If you already have a dog, great, I'd love to meet them first to make sure we're a good playtime match!
Training: I'm already house-trained and crate-trained! I'm a smart boy who enjoys learning and would love to enroll in obedience class to polish up my manners.
If you're ready for a life filled with outdoor adventures, endless games of fetch, joyful water play, and lots of unconditional love, I'd love to meet you.

Adopting a dog in Nassau Bay
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
