Love & Second Chances Northern California all breed dog rescue - www.lovesecondchances.org Our foster homes are scattered all around the bay area and within our Sacramento division.
(279)

Love & Second Chances was founded in 2012 in hopes to better connect the public with the rescue community. Our rescue is based out of Northern California (San Ramon, CA) with a small division in Sacramento, CA. We are a foster based rescue with two rescue programs; a local rescue program and a international rescue program. Our team consist of compassionate individuals who share the same goals. We believe rescuing doesnโ€™t only save the animals but the people as well. Our hope is to show that a little TLC can go a long way! Together we can make a difference, letโ€™s start today!

Sesame has found his forever home! ๐Ÿถโ 
โ 
"Iโ€™m proud to say after almost 3 months he has settled nicely into his new home and furever family. He still has trust issues with the men in the family but I have a permanent bestie on my hands.โ 
โ 
I think the Arizona heat was a big adjustment for him as it was for me! Heโ€™s a wonderful dog. Heโ€™s incredibly smart and charming and has quite a fan club around our neighborhood. Iโ€™ve had neighbors who Iโ€™ve just met who have told me their kids love him! Theyโ€™ve never even met him but they love him! He is quite charming and handsome! โ 
โ 
Thank you for all that you do to save these puppies. All these animals deserve a loving safe home and Iโ€™m proud to say Sesame has found one!!!"

Chocola has found her forever home! ๐Ÿ’•โ 
โ 
"Itโ€™s been going great with Chocola so far! In just a short two weeks, she has folded into our lives and taken to her big sister Kasy.โ 
โ 
Chocola is a little ball of energy - curious, spunky - instigating Kasy to play. She has a devious streak, pulling off sneak attacks and biting tails! Her shyness waned very quickly after she arrived, a testament to the great training from her fosters! โ 
โ 
Chocola has joined us on walks, cuddles, been our little shadow and has decided to pull out every toy in the bin. She definitely feels like part of the family and weโ€™re so happy to have her!โ 
โ 
Thanks again for helping set this up and making the process go so smoothly!"

Meet Mika, small in size, big on possibilities. At just 20 pounds, she doesnโ€™t take up much space, but she has the potential to fill your home with so much love and happiness! She is a joyful little girl who loves toys, treats, and other dogs. She is house-trained and can be trusted to be at home alone if you need to go to work or do errands. โ 
โ 
This sweet girl can sometimes feel nervous or skittish when exploring unfamiliar places, especially on walks. The outside world can be a little overwhelming at times, so she would benefit from a patient, understanding adopter who can help her gain confidence. She has been with her foster mom for a few weeks now, and she is already seeing improvement on walks as Mika gets more and more comfortable with the neighborhood. Even though she lacks confidence at first, Mika does love to run around outside. Mika's long legs make her fast, spry, and agile. Her foster mom takes her to a park at least once a week and lets her run around on a 30 ft long line. Mika loves the freedom!โ 
โ 
Her rough start in life has not given her the opportunity to see much of the world yet, but she is very curious about it all! Whoever adopts this amazing girl is going to get to experience everything with her, and because she is so treat-motivated and smart, she will be fun to train. Her potential is unlimited!โ

Coral has found her forever home! โค๏ธโ 
โ 
"Coral is doing incredibly well in her new home with her new big brother, Hudson! She has settled in beautifully and is already so loved by her family. She also gets along wonderfully with her extended family pups, and , who are both Love Second Chances rescues too!! โ 
โ 
Coral is an absolute snugglebug and has so much love to give. She loves being close to her people and has quickly made herself right at home. Her parents absolutely adore her and couldnโ€™t be happier to have her as part of their family. They are incredibly grateful to Love Second Chances for bringing Coral into their lives and giving them the opportunity to love this sweet girl."

Meet Cooper! Cooper was rescued from the shelter along with littermate Loper when their time ran out. Thankfully our rescue partner was able to get him out of the shelter along with a few other dogs. Cooper is a sweet and loving boy who would love nothing more than to find his forever home. We are looking for a home that understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a pup. Cooper would thrive in a home that will continue to show him what it means to be part of a family. Cooper is patiently waiting!

Belle has found her forever home! โค๏ธโ 
โ 
"She settled in faster than I ever expected and has wrapped her people completely around her little paw. Lambchop is still her absolute favorite. She loved the original so thoroughly that weโ€™ve already had to buy a replacement. She devours every meal, lives for liver treats, and prances on her walks like sheโ€™s leading a parade.โ 
โ 
Sheโ€™s also turned out to be a wonderful traveler, and so adaptable. Iโ€™ve attached some photos from last weekend with my dad and stepmom in Colorado. As you can see from the photos, it was a full-on love-fest, and the feeling is mutual.โ 
โ 
Sheโ€™s affectionate, playful, and so clearly happy. Watching her, youโ€™d never guess she hadnโ€™t been part of the family all along.โ 
โ 
Thank you so much for trusting us with her. She has truly found her forever home, and sheโ€™ll always have a place with me."

Meet Amber! Amber was rescued from the shelter before her time ran out. Because of her sweet and loving personality, rescuers wanted to make sure she was able to make it out of the shelter and info foster care. Amber has since gotten a clean bill of health and ready to find her forever home. Amber has such beautiful eyes and the brightest smile. Amber likes everyone so much!

Meet Kyo! Kyo is a sweet, playful girl who loves a good zoomies session and then settles in for snuggles. Sheโ€™s great with other dogs and enjoys interactive play โ€” she figures out puzzle toys quickly and loves to rip up stuffed toys. She walks nicely on leash and is housebroken. Kyo does well with kids, though her mild resource guarding means food and toys should be managed around children. Sheโ€™s never bitten out of aggression and only gives soft warning growls if she feels the need to protect something. Ideal home: An active household that enjoys playtime and training, has (or is open to) other dogs, and can provide structure around food/toys. Sheโ€™d thrive with people who appreciate her sweet, snuggly side and are patient while she continues learning commands. We are looking for a home that understands the responsibilities of owning and raising a dog. Kyo would benefit from a home that will continue to work with her and show her what it means to be in a family. Kyo is patiently waiting! โค๏ธโ

At just over a year old, Leroy has already experienced the heartbreaking loss of someone very special to him. His beloved owner unexpectedly passed away, and this sweet boy is now navigating life without the person who loved and cared for him.โ 
โ 
Leroy loves to cuddle, go for walks, and enjoy car rides with his person. Since losing his owner, he has been very lonely and spends much of his time alone as he waits for his next chapter to begin.โ 
โ 
This young boy has so much love left to give and deserves a family who will welcome him with open arms, give him time to adjust, and remind him that he is not alone.โ 
โ 
Weโ€™re hoping to find Leroy a forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished once again. He has already lost someone he loved. Now, itโ€™s his turn to find a family who will love him for a lifetime. โค๏ธโ
