Our Mission

Keeping dogs in homes. Giving forgotten dogs a second chance. Supporting families through crisis.

They provide comfort, companionship, and emotional stability — especially during times of crisis. Yet thousands of dogs are surrendered not because they’re unwanted, but because their families simply don’t have the means to care for them during hardship.

Second Leash Foundation steps in at the moment families feel they have no options left. We provide critical support that protects the bond between people and their pets, prevents unnecessary surrender, and keeps families whole.

And for the dogs who already find themselves in shelters — especially seniors — we help them find safe, loving homes where they can thrive again.
