Second Chance K9 Service Dogs

GOOD NEWS: Chase has been cleared for discharge! 🏥✨

We can’t thank you all enough for the overwhelming flood of love and prayers over the last 24 hours. Chase had a strong night, responded beautifully to his medication, and after a morning check-up and some breakfast snacking, he’s been cleared to recover at home!

The diagnosis is a "fever of unknown origin"—a bit of a medical mystery that left us baffled—but the important thing is that he’s on the mend. While his liver levels were off and his spleen was enlarged yesterday, today’s labs show he’s trending back toward normal.
Sitting here today, it’s truly humbling to look back. When Melissa and I first started this little rescue, we never could have imagined having such an incredible "Team of Teams" standing behind us during the scary moments.

A massive thank you to for taking such incredible care of Chase during this scary time—we knew he was in the best hands possible.

Chase was our very first official rescue as Second Chance K9, and seeing this community rally for him reminds us exactly why we do what we do.

Thank you for looking out for Chase. He’s one happy (and tired) boy! 🐕💤

Sending a little extra love to the one who started it all. 💔🐾

Life at the rescue can be difficult and scary for us at times, and today is one of those days. Our very first rescue turned permanent resident, Chase, woke up not quite himself. His usual drive was gone, and we were worried enough to head straight to the emergency vet.
The initial checkup shows he has a fever and an enlarged spleen. We are still waiting for more answers, but our hearts are heavy for our boy right now.

Chase has been the foundation of so much we’ve built here. He’s seen us through every high and low, and now he needs us to stand by him.

Please keep Chase in your thoughts and prayers today. 🙏 We’ll keep you all updated as we know more.
