Me: Eve it is so hard when you get calls about dogs that either you know you can't help or you have no room for them.

​Eve: Mama, I thought we could help all the dogs. I know there are sometimes we don't have room for everyone.

​Me: One of the hardest things for me to accept is that we cannot help every dog. Some dogs are beyond help. It can be a health issue or behavior issues. We always have to think of the rescue as a whole and not just one dog. That is very hard to deal with.

Eve: so you have to say no sometimes?

Me: Yes and you hate that you have to do that ever. You don't want to take a dog that will have to live in a kennel for the rest of its life. That feels even worse than saying no at the very beginning.

Eve: it makes you sad mama.

Me: yes Eve. You have to focus on the good and what you CAN do.

You have all gathered up 36 bags of shoes so far!  That is 900 pairs of shoes!  You are amazing!  

We are over a third of the way and we are so proud of all the effort put into the shoe drive.  We still need 64 bags of shoes with 25 pairs in each bag.  I have faith in Second Chance Dog Rescue supporter.  We can do this - together!  

We are making progress!  We have about 22 bags of shoes and still have the month of May to collect more!  We need to have 100 bags of shoes by May 31st!  Each bag has 25 pairs in it.  We are so proud of everyone's efforts thus far but need to keep going!  Text us if you have shoes to donate.   641-297-2137
