2nd Chance to Shine is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit program providing basic manners training and social rehabilitation to dogs who belong to rescues throughout the Midwest.

As many of you know, Fun Fur Pets offers dog training programs for our clients; however, many people are not aware that we also provide basic manners training and social rehabilitation to several dogs who are currently in rescue. These dogs need a few skills before they are ready to find their forever home.  These dogs are referred to our 2nd Chance to Shine program by rescues from throughout the Midwest. Dogs come to us with various training needs and some just need a place to decompress and learn how to be a dog and trust people. Common rehab/training needs include:

• • Poor socialization with other dogs
  • Bad experiences with humans and/or dogs
  • Trust issues with humans (stranger danger)
  • Sometimes just need a lot of basic obedience like jumping, leash walking, and household manners.
