Second Chance Dog Shelter
A Second Chance for Every Dog
Natalie's Second Chance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing homeless dogs a much-needed opportunity at a forever home. As a no-kill shelter, we believe every dog deserves a loving environment, whether that means a cozy spot in our facility or finding their perfect permanent family.
Our Mission and Story
Founded in 2009, we exist to serve dogs in need across Indiana and beyond. We do not discriminate based on breed, age, or health, welcoming everyone from seniors and puppies to those needing a little extra medical care or training, ensuring they all receive the compassion they deserve.
How We Care for Our Pack
Operating as a donation-based shelter, we rely on the heart of our community to keep our dogs happy and healthy. Our dedicated staff and volunteers work tirelessly to provide a safe, temporary home, focusing on socialization, enrichment, and medical rehabilitation so every dog is prepared for their next chapter.
Finding Your Perfect Match
We treat our dogs like family and believe in finding the best fit for both the animal and the adopter. By utilizing a thoughtful adoption process that includes a foster-to-adopt period, we ensure that every transition is successful, giving both you and your new companion time to adjust and bond.
Join Our Mission
Are you ready to find your new best friend? We invite you to view our available dogs online or visit us during our public hours to meet your future companion. Whether you choose to adopt, volunteer your time, or support our building fund, your involvement helps us continue our mission of saving more lives.
