winston
✨ What we’ve already learned about Winston:
🐾 Gentle and calm
🐾 Great on a leash
🐾 Appears dog friendly
🐾 Knows basic commands
🐾 Shy at first, but sweet and respectful with small humans
Winston is the kind of dog who just needs a little reassurance and love to fully shine. He’s taking everything in stride and showing us what a good boy he truly is — even after being left behind.

Reviews
"We adopted Onus March 15, 3025. He is an absolute and forever part of our family. We cannot praise Second Chance Dog Rescue enough for what they do! And what they do is very hard work. Very emotional work. Thank you to Second Chance for finding us the most perfect dog we could ever imagine! Please support them if you are able!"

"Choosing my adoption through Second Chance Dog Rescue was the best decision we’ve ever made. The team was incredibly thoughtful, supportive, and truly cared about finding the right match—not just placing a dog quickly. From the first message to post-adoption check-ins, they made us feel like part of a family. Our pup came to us healthy, happy, and so well-adjusted thanks to their amazing foster and rehab program. You can tell this rescue is doing it for the right reasons—heart, compassion, and real impact."
