Gas′s Story

Hi, my name is Gas, and my story is both common and heartbreaking. A kind rescuer found me with a broken leg and took me to the vet for surgery. Sadly, the operation was unsuccessful. The rescue that saved me couldn’t provide the medical care I desperately needed, but that’s when 2nd Chance Dogs stepped in.

They took me to their specialist, who ran a series of blood tests. That’s when they discovered I had ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, and leishmaniasis. They immediately began treatment, but despite undergoing two rounds of medication, I was still fighting for my life.

After many more blood tests and a biopsy of my bone marrow, the vets finally discovered the full truth: I have aplastic anemia. My immune system is severely compromised, and sadly, I don’t have long left with this world.

What I need more than anything now is a loving home — a safe, warm place to live out my remaining days, surrounded by kindness and comfort. I may not have much time, but I have so much love left to give.

Character & Temperament

Despite everything I’ve been through, I remain the sweetest, most loving dog you’ll ever meet. I adore people, children, and other dogs, always greeting everyone with a wagging tail and a heart full of love. Even though I limp on my front leg and battle severe illness every day, all I truly want is to cuddle, be close to you, and shower you with affection. No matter how much I’m struggling, my gentle spirit and loving nature never fade—I just want to love and be loved.

Ideal Home for Gas

All I want now is a quiet, cozy home where I can finally rest.
Somewhere soft to lay my head, someone gentle to rub my ears. I don’t need much — just a warm bed, kind hands, and a heart big enough to hold me for however long I have left.

I’m not asking for miracles anymore. I know my time is short. I just want to feel what it’s like to truly belong, even if it’s only for a little while.
No loud noises, no long walks I can’t manage — just patience, love, and a promise that I won’t be alone when my time comes.

Please... if you have a little space in your heart and your home, I’m begging you to take me in. I’ve fought so hard for so long. I just want to be someone's dog — to know that I mattered to someone — before I have to say goodbye.
