SCDR Application

Second Chance Dog Ranch
Second Chance Dog Ranch is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving a second chance to last-chance dogs and educating the dog community and the public on dog behavior. SCDR is completely funded through fundraising efforts and public donations.

All of our SCDR dogs have been saved from euthanasia, rehabilitated and given a second chance. Each dog comes with extra training resources.
This preliminary questionnaire is designed to help Second Chance Dog Ranch determine if a specific dog is the right one for you and your household. All adopting parties are required to complete this form prior to adoption. Second Chance Dog Ranch reserves the right to deny any adoption based on answers to this questionnaire and/or interviews prior to adoptions!
