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.
If you would like to contribute to Lainey’s care we sure would appreciate it; please use the following link: Donation or Text SCCR-MEDICAL-COSTS to 707070 to donate Thank you in advance.

We remember how proud we were to have our non-profit status and were ready to go out and rescue some Cockers! We decided to start by introducing ourselves to the local rescues and shelters in the area. The three main shelters were all on the same street so we just started knocking on doors. Everyone was very positive and welcoming and we were feeling pretty good by the time we got to the last shelter on the street run by a local group, DAWG. As we knocked on the door, who should greet us but the founder Shirley Jensen one of the, if not the, pillars of rescue in the Santa Barbara area. Once she heard what we were doing, she threw up her hands, shouted wait right there and turned and ran off. She came right back with a black and white Cocker Spaniel asleep in her arms. She unceremoniously dumped her in my arms and said. “She is blind and deaf and 14 years old. You can take her can’t you?” Well, you can be sure we were not going to tell Shirley Jensen no, so Emily Grace came home with us.
Shirley and Emily Grace taught us more about rescue and what it takes to do it right than anyone else over the years. Shirley taught us that you never know what is coming around the corner and challenges are just a new chance to grow. Emily Grace taught us that dogs, even blind and deaf ones, can have an excellent quality of life and never take what you have for granted. Our motto, Saving lives, one dog at a time, was born that day. Emily Grace lived for almost two more years in a home with an older woman who thought the world of her. She was pampered, spoiled and loved rotten every day of the rest of her life. Emily Grace was the foundation for our Sanctuary program and in her spirit we have offered hundreds of dogs the last, best months or years of their lives.
We don’t count the last 20 years in the numbers of dogs we have rescued. Those are just statics. We remember each face, each story and how it touched us, one dog at a time.

SECOND CHANCE COCKER RESCUE IS EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THE GRAND OPENING OF OUR ARLO’S MERCANTILE STORE ON BONFIRE.
Check out our beautiful baseball caps, long and short sleeved t-shirts and note cards. We will be introducing new merchandise throughout the year. Please click on the link to check out our store. All of the proceeds from our store goes toward helping us pay for the medical needs of our pups.
One year old Sammy is going into surgery for his broken leg last week. When his family found out the cost they called us for help and relinquished him. The poor boy has a really bad break. We need good thoughts for him to be able to keep his leg. There are two breaks and a floating section. Since it happened over 48hrs before we go him his chance of a successful surgery of placing a plate on to hold all 3 pieces in place weren’t good but Dr. Jackson made it work. Now we put him on bed rest to make sure it heals well. There is still a chance we might have to amputate. Once his leg is healed then he goes back for cherry eye surgery and a neuter. Poor boy. That is a lot of bed rest for a youngster.
We need your help to pay for his surgery. Your contribution will make an impact, whether you donate $5 or $500. Every little bit helps. Thank you for your support. https://www.facebook.com/donate/1072736169943489/
We are very excited to announce that Timothy and Connie Wagner have donated enough money to start building our Kennels…we have enough to put in a parking lot ( mandated by the county ), build the kennels and put in all the fencing! This incredibly generous donation is in memory of their very special Cocker Spaniel Arlo. In his memory we are naming our Sanctuary “Arlo’s Second Chance Sanctuary”. This donation will help us get up and running in months instead of years!
So we are starting out the year with 21 acres of land. As you see lots of trees, grass and shrubs but not much else. Soon we will have pictures of our new 10 spot parking lot, working on building kennels and putting in fencing. We will keep you up to date and the pictures flowing. We expect to end the year with lots of stories and a full kennel up and running.
Ericka Caudillo will be our Sanctuary manager and she and her family are already moved into the trailer and are helping us get ready for the dogs. She is perfect for this position.
We still need your help, we need another washer/dryer set, an ATV or Golf cart, gravel for paths, heaters/coolers for the kennels, shelving and storage boxes, we have tons of projects that still need your help with….
Be part of the dream, donate towards the Sanctuary. Arlo would approve!
