Since it opened in 1999, hundreds of dogs have passed through the kennels doors and have gone on to wonderful new homes and families. On this page you will see some of those lucky dogs in their forever homes, and hear how they've settled in and how they've enriched their new families' lives.

Jake >>
Posted: 18th September 2006

This is our boy Jake (our big soft Rottie pup) off on the first leg of his journey to his new home, as Maryellen and Fraser have two Rotties from us we have already been to Fort William before so we didn't need to do a home visit for Jake. Anyway Mhairi was at their home yesterday so we know every thing is fine.

Lindsay our "collie lady" has kindly offered to take him on the first leg of his journey and his mum & dad are coming to meet them (thanks Lindsay!).

Good luck big lad, have a great life we will miss you here at the kennels but will visit sometime soon to see you all.

Jake

Frodo >>
Posted: 18th September 2006

These are pics of the wee lad who was fostered by gillian at ryan & calders, isn't he looking great! This is what his family sent us:

Here's Frodo with his favourite toy - at least this morning's. He's the most wonderful puppy and we love him to bits. Freya and Frodo are inseparable now - we can't imagine life without him and are so grateful to you for letting us have him.

Mia >>
Posted: 18th September 2006

This is Mia the wee Spaniel who went to stay with Nessie & Ken, to say their over the moon with her would be an understatement, they love her to bits and she is so good and much younger looking now, just goes to show what love and TLC can do.

Roxy >>
Posted: 14th September 2006

This is wee Lucky who is now named Roxy and obviously loved very much. This is the message her new family sent:

Hi Ena, hope everyone at second chance is well. Just wanted to send you an update on our wee girl, well not so wee these days. Will be taking Roxy for her check up this weekend, and she is due to be spayed soon after.

The vet recommended the op before she comes into season, so just going with her advice. Roxy is doing fantastically well and everyone she meets falls in love with her. Faith and Ross are taking her for lots of walks (even in the rain!)

Here are some more pictures, speak to you again soon.

Lots of love, Diane & Martin.

Milly and Sam >>
Posted: 14th September 2006

This is Milly the Border Collie back for a visit, she was adopted from here not long after we opened, she was very young and really scared, so it was so nice to see her again with her mum Karen (who declined to have her photo taken) and brother Sam and both dogs are so happy.

Ruby >>
Posted: 14th September 2006

Hello all at the second chance kennels, just a short email to say that Ruby is doing fine. She seems to have settled in well and seems happy and has grown quite a bit. She has made her self at home and is developing little quirks that everyone finds really sweet like sleeping under her dog blanket with just her head peeping out, This happened after she had seen us sleeping on the couch while we had visitors which goes to show how clever and aware she is. Anyway We'll be going for now as Ruby needs her night time walk.

Best wishes The Stenhouse's

Lucky >>
Posted: 8th September 2006

As you can see, I have chosen my new dad! He didn't have a lot of say in the matter, although he was wondering what had he on his face that tasted this good!

Well, I'm in my forever home now, so it's all looking good.

Lucky xx

Sparky & Tia >>

This is Sparky with his dad and this is his sis Tia, what a marvelous job they have made of this lad, he was a nightmare on the lead ect. Just goes to show what commitment and love and patience can achieve, he is a credit to his family now.

It was so lovely to see them all!

Breagh >>
Posted: 27th August 2006

Look who arrived for a visit, the lovely Breagh, her mum (Carol) & dad (Angus).

It was so nice to see them all and she looks so well and happy, she has been with her folks now for over three years. They have been making noises about finding a friend for her so of course you know now that's our mission to find Breagh a pal!

It was great to see them all the way from Ballater, and we went out in their car to look at a wee dog sadly he wasn't suitable but rest assured we will find you a dog Carol & Angus.

Loved the Sat Nav what a giggle we had, good fun!

Chance >>
Posted: 27th August 2006

Remember our boy Chance? What a honey he was! He was the boy who had terrible mange, he hardly had any hair on his tail or ears. He had to be isolated and go for regular treatments and baths at the vet, yet he didn't grumble once!

Well, this is him settled into his new home, courtesy of Mhairi photographers (this is what she does when she is on holiday!).

Doesn't he look so good!!

Chase (now Gyp) >>
Posted: 27th August 2006

This is the lovely border collie boy Chase (now called Gyp) getting ready to go home with his new family. He's only been in his home a few days now but he's still found the time to send us a wee message:

Hi Ena,

Well, I wasn't sure about the car but settled better after I jumped in the front at my mummy's knees. I don't like going around roundabouts and I ended up biting my way through my new lead when mummy wasn't looking! She says she still loves me though!

We went for a walk and found a nice tree to widdle at, I got a lot of fuss made about that.

I finally got my brunch and then we've played fetch with my squeeky burger (thanks for that by the way). If my family say ta to me I know to let go of it so they can throw it.

Daddy says he's going to get my bed soon, a new extendable lead and some treats.

I'm laid here playing with some new toys in between having my belly rubbed - oh this is the life, I'm home!

I'll keep in touch, I'll always remember my special friends at Second Chance, I'll get my new mummy to send some photos.

Love Gyp (aka Chase) xx


And his new Mum sent us a message too, to tell us her side of things!


Hi Ena,

Well, Gyp had a good night, he seems to like his bed and only barked once to wake his mummy up at 1.20am!! Well that proves he does have a voice when he wants.

He went out with his dad at 5am for a quick walk and toilet and then he lay on the floor beside my bed until the rest of the house decided to surface.

He was trying to tell me he needed out again but I thought he just wanted a lot of attention and of course he ended up having an accident. Not his fault, it's his mum that needs the training!!

I plan on taking him a walk to Crombie Point later today, that should be plenty of exercise for both of us.

I'll keep you posted.

Diane x

Chase (now Gyp)
