In 2025, Second Chance Cocker Rescue helped 62 dogs find their perfect families. Every wagging tail in this video represents a new beginning. Thank you to our amazing donors, adopters, fosters, vets, transporters and volunteers for making this possible! Here’s a little montage of the happy tails of 2025!

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.

World of Angels Foundation in China contacted us again about a dog they had saved. JoJo is a sweet “rural Chinese dog” (actually a poodle) that we agreed to help after several surgeons in China worked on two of his legs and ended up with a considerable amount of damage. Little JoJo came to us with a broken front leg that is actually detached in pieces (skin is holding it together) and basically just flops around when he hops. At one point someone tried to fix it, but it was not successful and there are pieces of bone floating around. Sadly, he also has a broken rear leg that surgeons in China tried to fix three times. Unsuccessful each time. He tries to use it, but it is not weight bearing. There is significant bone damage, but our amazing surgeon thinks she can fix it! His best chance for repair is with a bone graft. That poses it’s own dilemma, where to find matching donor bone? Well, since the front leg doesn’t work anyway, his best chance will be to amputate his front leg and use his own bone for a graft in the rear leg. We are feeling a little overwhelmed with the magnitude of this, but we committed and must do our best for him. This sweet little poodle boy really needs the whole SCCR family on this one. We are waiting for a formal estimate, but know we are looking at roughly $5,000. JoJo is going to be 5 years old in May of 2024 and weighs less than 15 pounds. A truly resilient and strong willed little guy to have made it this far. Anything you can help us with is deeply appreciated by all.
Will update you next week- he is scheduled for surgery on Thursday!

We are so grateful for all of you and your generous support. Because of you we are rescuing more dogs than ever. We are growing the Sanctuary where our dogs can live out quality lives while they get ready to be adopted. We are working this year with World of Angels Foundation to rescue dogs from China. We are now able to rescue small dogs as well as Cocker Spaniels in Jamestown. 2023 was an amazing year for us and none of it would be possible with you.
This is the end of 2023 and there are just four more days to get donations in for 2023. They will allow us to start the year off with a bang!
We got sweet Lainey from the shelter where she was slated for euthanasia basically due to lack of space and she is 9 years old. She is a full cocker, adorable little face and very nice. She is a little needy, so she will want a human(s) who is home a lot. Right now if her human goes outside, she runs to the fence and barks at her. This is not unusual for a shelter dog, and typically wears off in no time. Precious Lainey has typical cocker ears, some lenticular sclerosis in her eyes (the blue tint, but still can see) and a lot of little warties on her. She has been sick, so will be seeing a vet for medical assessment next week. She also needs a dental, so once we get her all fixed up, she will be ready to go. She is a lovely companion dog that just wants to be with you. If you are looking for a sweet cling-on who still has many years ahead of her, this is your girl. If you can help with a donation towards her medical, we would sure appreciate it.

Meet Lulu! She is a 2-3 year old chi mystery mix who is great people and dogs. This is one party girl. She loves a good time and is all about people. She has the most amazing blue eyes and is probably deaf as many white dogs with blue eyes are. This is one fun loving cuddly girl for a fun family. She is sensitive to the sun so we are getting her some Doggles (doggie sunglasses) to go home with.
Lulu is currently in Jamestown and ready for adoption.
If you’d like to give Lulu a forever home please complete an online application:
