Sirius's Story

Meet Sirius — the shepherd mix with the heart of a guardian and the soul of a best friend.<br/>Sirius’s story starts the way so many heartbreaking ones do… on the side of a road. But what makes his story unforgettable is what he chose to do with it. When our team found him, Sirius was out there protecting a mama dog and her five helpless puppies—standing watch, keeping them safe, and refusing to leave their side. It’s the kind of loyalty you don’t teach… it’s simply who he is.<br/>Once we were able to safely trap him and bring him back, we expected a dog who might be guarded or unsure. Instead, Sirius surprised us in the best way: he is an absolute lover. He adores people, melts for attention, and is famous among our volunteers for his sweet face, gentle energy, and those “I missed you!” kisses. Sirius doesn’t just want affection—he wants connection.<br/>Sirius is fully vetted and heartworm negative, and he’s doing amazing with home-life basics. He’s potty trained and continues to improve every day as he works on leash manners. He’s smart, eager, and the kind of dog who will thrive with a family that enjoys consistency, structure, and lots of quality time together.<br/><br/>Sirius’s ideal home:<br/>-A home with kids 12+<br/>-No other male dogs<br/>-We are currently testing and working with female dogs in playgroups<br/>If you’ve been looking for a dog who will make you feel like the most important person in the world, Sirius might be your guy.

Second Chance Dog Rescue Mansfield (SCDR)'s Adoption Policy
Potential adopters first complete our Interest-in-Adopting form. If the form is approved, the potential adopters are contacted for a meet and greet. (If the potential adopters have other dogs, the meet and greet will also be done with their current dogs.) If the meet and greet goes well, a home check is scheduled. Once the home is approved, the dog is allowed to go home. At the time of drop off, a final contract of adoption is signed. Adoption resources, new pup resources, and guidelines are given to the adopters to help them transition with their new rescue pup.
