Welcome to Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield | Giving the Forgotten Their Second Chance
Every day, countless dogs are left behind—abandoned, neglected, or simply forgotten. At Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield, we believe every dog deserves safety, healing, and love. With your support, we give them that second chance.
Second Chance Dog Rescue is a 501c3, non-profit organization dedicated to saving as many homeless, neglected and abused animals as our resources allow. Each dog that comes into our program is vaccinated, heartworm tested and treated if positive, placed on monthly heartworm and flea/tick prevention, altered and microchipped. All dogs are given the best of care. All dogs are individually walked multiple times a day, they are given quality food, treats and are provided a safe & loving environment.
One of our main goals is to work within our community and educate pet owners on the importance of spaying and neutering their animals in order to assist with the reduction of unwanted animals. We focus on programs that educate both our community and potential adopters on the fact that animals are a lifelong commitment and to help them realistically prepare for that commitment which includes educating them with training as well as wellness care & low-cost vetting available in our community. We understand that this is truly a community effort.
At Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield, we are the only lifeline for homeless and forgotten dogs in our community—the ones who step up when no one else will. We are the dependable source of hope, healing, and love for pets who have nowhere else to turn.
If you believe no dog in Mansfield should go without love, care, or the chance at life—then give to Second Chance Dog Rescue today. Together, we can make sure no dog is ever forgotten.
At Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield, we rescue, protect, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs who have been abandoned, neglected, or left without resources in underserved county areas.
We provide the medical care, safety, and compassion they need while working to raise awareness, strengthen community support, and create better outcomes for animals too often overlooked.
We don’t just rescue dogs—we give them the Second Chance they deserve.
It Takes a Community to Give Them a Second Chance
Saving dogs takes more than one donation or one person—it takes an entire community willing to step up in different ways. Whether you can open your home, give your time, sponsor a dog, or make a financial gift, there is a place for you at Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield.
🏡 Fosters
Every foster home gives us the ability to say “yes” to another dog in need. Fostering provides a safe place for a dog to decompress, heal, learn what home life feels like, and prepare for adoption.
❤️ Volunteers
From daily animal care and cleaning to events, transportation, photography, fundraising, and behind-the-scenes support, volunteers keep our rescue moving. Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give.
🐾 Dog Sponsors
Not ready to foster or adopt? Sponsor one of the dogs in our care. Sponsorships help cover everyday expenses such as food, preventatives, vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm care, and other medical needs while they wait for their forever family.
💵 Donations
Financial donations allow us to respond when a dog needs us most. Your gift helps provide food, veterinary care, medication, supplies, facility expenses, and the day-to-day costs of keeping our rescue operational.
🤝 Matching Donors
Matching gifts can inspire others to give by creating a goal our community can rally around during North Texas Giving Day. You choose a match amount, and we work to encourage donations to meet that commitment, helping every dollar go even further.
📣 Advocates & Supporters
You can make a difference even without spending a dollar. Share our dogs. Share our posts. Tell your friends about us. Attend an event. Encourage someone to foster, volunteer, adopt, or donate.
There is no single way to save a life.
We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion to build a stronger, more inclusive animal protection movement where all people can have a sense of belonging. We've achieved a powerful legacy of change for animals and we'll never stop fighting for them.
We treat others-both 2 legged and 4 as we would like to be treated, with love, compassion and understanding.
