Open Your Home. Give a Dog Their Second Chance.
Fosters and volunteers are the heart of Second Chance Paws. Right now we need caring homes and helping hands to support the dogs we’re pulling from Smith County Animal Shelter and moving through transport.
Why It Matters Right Now
Fostering and volunteering with Second Chance Paws isn’t just “helping animals” — it’s directly helping us save more dogs from the shelter system.
As we grow our partnerships with Smith County Animal Shelter and transport groups, we need reliable fosters who can step in for medical recoveries, short-term holds, and dogs waiting for their forever homes. Every foster home we have means we can pull one more dog that would otherwise stay in the shelter or worse.
Volunteers help us handle transports, events, supplies, and the day-to-day work that keeps everything moving.
