About 2nd Take K9

Training shelter dogs for forever homes

2nd Take K9 adopts dogs from regional shelters, trains them in basic obedience and re-homes them with families matched to their personality, energy and fitness. Its founder was inspired by a shelter-adopted Rottweiler mix, Reese, whose quick training turned an intended outside dog into a house dog. The goal is to give each dog and adoptive family the best chance at a successful relationship, with as much information as possible on what to expect. The business also offers a board and train program and lists dogs available for adoption.

What to ask

Ask about board and train pricing and length, and how dogs are matched with adoptive families.
