Willie found himself at the West Valley Shelter two weeks ago. His owner had died without making any arrangements for him. Not well himself, Willie was now sleeping on cement floors and had lost all hope. Lucky for Willie, Springer Spaniel Rescue found him. They pulled him, but when they found out he was a Cocker Spaniel, they called us. We took one look at that face and couldn’t say no!

a specialist in order to regain the use of his legs. Yodi is a happy, sweet boy and he deserves a second chance at a happy, healthy life with a loving family. He loves kids, and other dogs. Please help us to help Yodi!
Last week was my scramble to get taxes done week. And we finally made our appointment with an estate attorney to get our trust reviewed. It is 20 years old and it needed a quick review and updating. It was a chance to add Second Chance’s
Look at these adorable faces, Rhett and Scarlett! These gorgeous Cockers were found together dumped on a street in Tulare, CA. A good samaritan took them to the Bakersfield shelter. Second Chance Cocker Rescue scooped both of them up as they appeared to be inseparable. It is not often that we get young bonded pairs. After taking them to the vet, it appeared that Scarlett, 2 to 3 years old, had had many litters and most likely the people who dumped her
didn’t want her or her mate anymore. Rhett appears to be around 4 years old. Besides Rhett having an ear infection, both are in good health.
well when separated, even for only a few minutes. But seriously, who would want to see Rhett and Scarlett separated?
A week ago I was just a number. I long number behind bars in a cold, scary place. People walked by and laughed at me, but I wasn’t sure why. I’m cute and lovable. I was hoping one of them would take me out of the kennel to play with me. I prayed with my little paws for a way out. The stars must have been aligned because a really nice lady came, took me in her arms and brought me to a warm and comfy home. I heard her talking to some others, saying I have something called a prolapsed rectum. I’m not sure what that means, but I do know that I’m not that comfortable around my back side. I may look silly sitting like a frog, but it’s easier for my tushie. I heard her say they are going to fix me up so I will feel good and look good. I’m so happy to have this second chance to have a happy, healthy life. I promise to keep you posted!
and ready for a foster and soon forever home. Could you see this sweet face in your family? If so, please fill out an


At the tender age of 4 months, Teddy Bear popped a cherry eye. As soon as the family found out how much it cost to fix, they decided to give him away. Second Chance Cocker Rescue could not have been more delighted! We will fix him up good as new, and find him a family that cares enough to take care of him properly.
We got a call from Megan, a woman who works with homeless people. She saw a tiny Cocker Spaniel living in a homeless shelter parking lot. She was bone thin, with two cherry eyes and her coat was so matted you couldn’t see much of her. Megan asked if SCCR would take her. We couldn’t say no to rescuing this sweet and scared soul. Megan was able to catch her and bring her down to be vetted and cared for in Romoland, CA. She is about four years old, red and white and has a very sweet disposition. She loves to kiss everyone she meets. She is a bit bossy with other dogs, but that is probably because she had to fight for every bite of her food for too long.
