Second Chance Spay Clinic

All of us here at Second Chance Cocker Rescue are so proud of the work we have done. From getting our dogs into great homes, seeing the sanctuary come to fruition and this year being able to get back into international rescue by partnering with World of Angles Foundation to save dogs from the meat markets in China.

Now we have decided to go one step further! We are going to open a discount spay/neuter clinic on the sanctuary property in Jamestown. We have discovered there is a huge vacuum in this area for low cost s/n services, not to mention the wait times just to get into a regular vet. The feral cat population in this area is out of control and every year it will just get worse as those little ones continue to reproduce. People often don’t get their pets altered due to cost and availability of vet services. While we will not be offering general veterinary services, just spay and neuter, we feel this will help the community and their pets.

We are working on converting the trailer into a clinic and have a vet and vet tech on board to perform the surgeries. So far we have received several legacy donations towards the start up costs and if you want to jump in with both feet and help more, then please consider a donation of any size. The feral cats will be done on a ‘catch and release’ system (i.e. trap them, alter them, and release them back). We will be doing feral cats for free, private parties will be a deeply discounted price from what you would receive at your regular vet.

If you would like to help with this project, please consider a tax-deductible donation of any amount marked ‘for the clinic’ and that money will go directly into that account. If you want your donation specifically earmarked for upcoming feral cats, you can also indicate that. We are hoping to have this up and running in the next couple of months, so watch for more updates!

If you would like to contribute to contribute to the clinic we sure would appreciate it; please use the following link: DONATIONS Thank you in advance.

Who Rescued Who

Frannie adopted Chester hoping he would get along with her mother who has Alzheimer’s. Well, lordy did they get along. Chester is the best thing in the world for her. He seems to know how much she needs him.

Quirky Dogs for special people

We always have a quirky dog or two to find homes for and we always do. Our motto is, What is a misery for one family is a treasure for the right family. And we have proven that over and over again. However, we have several very quirky dogs in that need just the right home at this time. Donations for our quirky dogs medical care:

Ruffles is a gentle little soul but he has suffered from allergies his whole live. He now has dry eye requiring daily drops, chronic ears needing daily washing and special meds and his skin just needs time to heal. He will soon be a special boy perfect for the loving caretaker in you. Ruffles needs a foster or adoption home immediately. Ruffles is about 10-12 years old and currently in Romoland CA.

Ruffles

Winston is a sweet boy with a sensitive stomach. We got him stable with a prescription diet and daily meds. He now needs a cushy bed, lots of attention and an occasional stroll around the block to make his world complete. Winston is about 13 years old and currently in Romoland, CA,

Winston

Jamaica is a curmudgeon of a girl. She needs a home with not other dogs so she can be the Queen Bee of her house. When you are Jamaica it is all about ME, ME, ME….so she needs a home where a girl can rule the roust and be the Queen of the day every day. Jamaica is about 10-12 years old and needs work on her house training. Jamaica is currently in Romoland, CA.

Jamaica

Ritchie is a grumpy old man. He doesn’t like other dogs for the most part and he has some rules, like don’t touch that collar but in general he has a sweet heart under all that grumbling. And he is a very handsome boy. He will make someone who like a quirky boy a special relationship. Ritchie is about 8-10 years old and is ready to try out a foster or adoption home as soon as he can. Ritchie is currently in Palmdale, CA.

The Good, The Sad and the Happy endings

It Was A Cocker Party

It was a Cocker party at the vet on Tuesday!! Winnie, Trudy, and Macy all had exams.

Trudy is looking good and will be ready to go home soon.

Winnie had a drain removed from her chest and a follow up from her last surgery. Winnie will be going in for her 5th surgery next week to remove MORE foxtails and drain the abscesses they’ve created.

Macy has a new mammary tumor, but thankfully it hasn’t spread yet. Her heart is massive through and she won’t be able to survive surgery to remove the tumors. We are now on a management plan to keep her comfortable and pain-free as we move into the hospice stage of her life.

Oops, Where Did That Growl Go?

Most people’s first reaction when their dog growls is to discipline them. If you do that often and harshly enough you will succeed to train the growl right out of your dog. But that is what we want, right? Absolutely not. That growl is information, it is your dog’s warning system. It tells us that your dog is severely upset about something and they need you to make it stop before they feel forced to bite. Lose the growl and your warning system is gone but the feelings behind the growl are still there and all they have left is the bite. Then someone is going to get hurt badly.

We figured out that our sweet Blue must have had his growl punished out of him because he goes straight to a bite when he gets riled up. On top of this he has the symptoms of PTSD. We are hoping that changing his medication will allow us to train him into an adoptable boy but we sure wish he had that growl back. PUPDATE: After working with Blue on the new meds for  week we see hope. He has a clear warning system before he bites unlike most dogs with this problem. We will have to wait for the perfect home but we think he is adoptable to exactly the right home..

We are a no-kill organization that means we are committed to finding a solution for Blue that includes a quality life while keeping the public safe.  So if we need it, that is where the Sanctuary will come in. There will be an area for our un-adoptable dogs. Only the volunteers who are qualified will be interacting with them.  They will have play groups, volunteers who play with them and give them lots of love but they understand their quirks and what will set them off so no one will get hurt. Being no-kill means having a solution for every dog possible as long as you can keep the public safe.

Help us maintain our Sanctuary spots for our un-adptables, who were made un-adop;table by their families and bad trainers.

It Is Raining Seniors!

Lordy, lordy it is raining senior Cockers here at Second Chance. Put on your rain boots and check out these little souls. They all need fosters or adopters!

Snaggie is 13 year old blind boy…great with other dogs and has the bad ears and a slight heart murmur but the sweetest personality you can imagine. And don’t you love that tooth?

Trudie is a sweet little patootie 10 year old who lost her human mommy and found herself in the shelter! While she is definitely not a cocker, we will call her an honorary cocker! She is most likely a long haired chi mix……but she is adorable and loves belly rubs!  She would be happy to cuddle all day with a nice walk around the neighborhood. Perfect lap dog for anyone.

Sam is another interesting mix, Cocker/Doxie with those cute short legs. He is about 12 years old. He is a little shy but generally a happy go lucky, mellow kind of guy.

Portia is about 9.5 years old. Portia is sweet, gentle, and never barks! In fact, she barely makes any sounds!!! She is a mellow girl who enjoys a calm home where she can just nap all day. Portia needs a home where she can just chill and enjoy the good life. Portia is good with other calm dogs and all people.

Scooter is a sweet 13 year old cocker mix (very short legs and only weighs about 18 pounds) He is 100% blind and is a ‘nervous’ little guy. He wanders a tiny bit, but not much. He needs a home tolerant of his lack of house training. He does fine with other dogs and likes a quiet calm home.

If you can’t foster or adopt can you help with their medical costs?
