Second City Canine Rescue

Second City Canine Rescue’s mission is to rescue homeless animals and place them into permanent, loving homes. We believe in rescuing responsibly℠. Second City Canine Rescue (SCCR) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is largely volunteer-operated. We are dedicated to serving the homeless dogs of Chicagoland, as well as branching out to other areas (such as Oklahoma, Indiana, Kentucky, Southern Illinois, Texas, & Michigan) – wherever homeless dogs & puppies need us. We are extremely selective about the dogs we place and temperament test each and every adult dog prior to adoption from our program. Our goal is to responsibly place dogs with solid temperaments that will make loving family pets. We are always looking to add to our amazing volunteer group of foster homes. We also have many other volunteer opportunities if you are unable to foster.
