Dear Supporters,
We are over the moon to announce that we have officially closed escrow on our very own piece of property in Jamestown, CA.It is the perfect spot, 20 beautiful, usable acres in the perfect neighborhood. Every time we visit we fall in love all over again. This is an amazing end to a two year search and an exciting beginning, building an dream Sanctuary for our seniors.
We are imagining a gold mining town look for the kennels or something fun for you to visit us and the dogs any time you like. Jamestown is only one mile away and super fun to hang out in, great restaurants, a railroad museum, fun stores. We are close to skiing, lakes, rivers, fishing, kayaking, boating, Please come up, help build the Sanctuary and fall in love with the area like we have.
It has long been a dream to expand to have a home for our seniors to live in while they are waiting for their permanent Sanctuary homes. We are looking to expand our services for seniors, to expand our volunteer base and create a home away from home for our dogs. You can help in many ways…sweat equity, donations of building materials and equipment and for larger cash donations we can offer the following:
$100-250 buy a brick
$500 Plaque on a chair
$1000 A memorial bench
$2500 Name a building in honor of your dog

Meet Mellon and Pacho, both age 6. Both boys were horribly neglected. Their toenails are growing into their legs and the pads of their feet. Stickers in their skin, and all over their bodies. Matts as big as my fist. Eyes infected. Please help Mellon and Pacho get a new start in life. They both need shots, Neuter surgeries, Rabies shots, microchips, and X-rays! They will need to be sedated to remove the toenails without pain! Mellon has an eye infection and Pacho has a small growth on his eyelid, which will be removed when under sedation. Mellon and Pacho will both need a foster home that will
help them to recover their health. We would like to keep these boys together, as they search each other out for comfort when scared. They are both very sweet natured and love kids and other dogs! Love to get belly-rubs, and give kisses! Please consider helping with their medical bills with a donation or even sponsoring the total expense. We will be happy to give you a receipt for your taxes! Both boys are currently located in Bakersfield, CA. Please email Elizabeth at elizabeth.mazzetti@gmail.com for more info and fill out an application.

Parvo pup pupdate: After being saved from the terrible Parvo virus, the pups came down with kennel cough. Here is a pupdate from their foster mom:
We brought the little man back to the vet. Luckily his kennel cough didn’t progress into pneumonia, but the vet upped his dosage of antibiotics because his cough discharge is green. His sister is doing great and she’s glad he’s back home. She snuggled up with him right away.
We are hand feeding him and all… The girl is super-cuddly and spunky – playful but also good company for her brother while he’s recovering.
While they get stronger every day, they will need follow up vet visits. Your continued support and donations
are helping these pups get the quality care they need. Thank you so much!
To adopt Luke or Leia, please fill out our adoption application.
Meet Chino! When he was picked up after being hit by a car, Chino had a broken tibia and fibula…..multiple bruises, and scrapes. Chino came to us in pretty bad shape, but the bruises and scrapes are healing well and so his broken leg.When Chino came into our rescue, he was in a lot of pain. He is all splinted up now and will need to remain that way for at least several more weeks, possibly longer depending on how fast he heals! He is on ‘bed rest’ now but does touch the foot down when he gets up or goes potty.

Chino is a total lover boy! Absolutely loves to give kisses and is so very sweet. And he would be a great snuggler too! He never barks or complains about anything. In essence, Chino is a perfect dog! If you would like to adopt or foster Chino, he would definitely make it worth your time! Everyone loves this miracle boy!
Chino would like to thank everyone who participated in his naming contest and have donated to his medical bills so far! As he receives continued treatment for his injuries, Chino’s medical bills will keep coming in and we will continue to need your support and donations. Every dollar is appreciated.
Chino is about 3 years old, and he weighs about 15 pounds. He is most likely a spaniel and doxie mix. If you would like to adopt Chino, please fill out our adoption application. Can you please help Chino to begin a new life and a new adventure? He sure hopes so! After all, every dog deserves a second chance!
Luke and LeiaThe Force is strong with these puppies! Both Luke and Leia are officially out of the woods with the Parvo virus! Both are spunky, eating and drinking on their own, and ready for a new chapter in their lives!
Thanks to everyone who supported these sweet sibs! They are literally howling to get out of the hospital and move on to a place where they have room to play! They will need a home where they can spend about 3 weeks more recovering. They can’t mix with other dogs because they will continue shedding the virus through their bowels. They have normal bodily functions however! It’s a matter of cleaning up after them and not allowing other pets around their potty pads. They are adorable! They just need a few more weeks in a home environment.
We are of course looking for their forever homes, but are URGENTLY in need of a foster home for Luke and Leia.
To foster or adopt Luke or Leia, please fill out our adoption application.
Please consider donating to help cover their medical costs. Every dollar helps.

Dear Friends of Second Chance Cocker Rescue, we need your generous help again! We just got a call that 2, 8 week old, Cocker babies have been diagnosed with and have the beginning signs of Parvo! We need your help to save these 2 babies! They might need to call upon The Force, but we really hope that Luke and Leia can beat this with intensive therapy with our vet! It won’t be easy, but we won’t give up on these sweet pups! Please
join the Parvo Resistance with us and let’s save these two Cocker siblings!
Click here to help support Luke and Leia’s medical treatment.
PUPDATE: Both are now in the hospital for the next 5 days. They are both on IV fluids, and
medication to treat the Parvo. Leia is in better shape than Luke is. Both are in serious condition. If they are alive after 5 days, they will more than likely survive. They were caught early, thank goodness. The Vet is cautiously optimistic, but it could go either way.
URGENT! Marshmallow needs our help! He is going in for an emergency surgery. He woke up with a bulging eye! Unfortunately, other procedures are not an option, and he will need to have his eye completely removed! Marshmallow is a 10 year old fluffy boy, hence the name I am sure. The surgery will be about $1000.00 including transport to and from the surgeon, after care, and then transport to his new sanctuary home after his procedure.
He is a darling boy! He will soon be up and about winking at all of the
other pups that he meets! He is very healthy otherwise! And super adorable as you can see by his picture! Please consider helping Marshmallow begin his new life without discomfort! He appreciates all of the best wishes sent his way! Thanks for all you do for SCCR and Marshmallow!
We got a call that a precious Cocker baby was hit by a car , and needed care right away. We took him to our local vet where he got an injection to treat the immediate pain he was in so he’d be calm enough to examine. His one hip is badly broken and we did send him this morning to So-Cal for a specialist to do major surgery. They will continue medication for his pain and keep him comfortable until he can be examined by the specialist! He will be having more X-rays and blood work done. He also needs to be neutered, microchipped, and get all of his shots. We also had to pay for his transport to the specialist! The bill for today was 400.00, and the surgery he needs will be about $ 4000.00 (or more)! He may need to get the leg amputated unfortunately, because the break is very high on the leg. That’s why he needed a specialist! Please, please consider helping this darling boy! He is very sweet and deserves the best care we can provide for him! He was licking our faces as he was being examined. Benjamin is great with other dogs and would be a treasure for any family lucky enough to adopt him. Benjamin is a little underweight and will need some help with his diet and healthy weight gain. Most importantly, Benjamin needs a foster home ASAP where he can heal and recover from his ordeal.
Any donation to his medical care is greatly appreciated!
