Welcome to the Second Chance LeagueThe Second Chance League is a group of Fairbanks mushers focused on finding permanent homes for sled dogs. SCL is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. We work with dogs exclusively from the municipal animal shelter in Fairbanks, evaluate them, foster them, and train them with our own dog teams. Many of these dogs have excellent bloodlines. Our goal is for the dogs to be successful. We strive to match the right dog to the right owner. Latest news

Summer!
Even though it is summer and SCL will not hold board meetings for the next 3 months....we will still be running all the shelter dogs in the cooler early morning hours on a 4 wheeler. Summer time is an excellent time to add a dog to your kennel. They get acclimated to your routine and to the other dogs. You have a lot of time to bond with them and by the time fall turns around they are a part of your family. A lot of our SCL fosters run dogs all summer. If you have a 4 wheeler it is easy to get out when it is cool and keep them conditioned. Often people will bike-jor or run-jor with their dogs. Many people have fully fenced in yards and can let their dogs loose every day to run and play. Or often the dogs aren't chained up at all and are used to dashing, turning, jumping and interacting. We are a big proponent of year round fitness. Keep your eyes on this web site and the borough shelter web site for new dogs and maybe you can save a life and add a new dog to your family. |
