For context: this happened 9 years ago back in 2017. I am finally writing a review about this…read moresituation because it still BAFFLES me to this day. We still crack jokes about this situation at any given time. At the time I was 13 years old and my mom and I were looking for a small dog to adopt. We were browsing shelters all around DFW trying to find the perfect fit for our family. We stumbled across Second Chance and decided to take a look at their small dogs, and that's when we found the cutest little brown Chihuahua! She was perfect, super adorable and amazing temperament. My mom and I instantly fell in love with her and were practically begging to fill out the adoption application. Once one of the adoption counselors sat down with us, she asked us basic questions (have you owned a dog before, was the dog spayed/neutered) etc! Basic questions that we easily had the answers to. Then the lady informs us that the little dog is heartworm positive, and asks us if we know what that is. Well yes we do know what heartworm is! She then asks if we have ever had experience with a dog that is heartworm positive. (This is when it gets absolutely ridiculous) My mom, thinking she was adding important insight and HOPING to inform the counselor that we will in fact actively treat her condition, said that she did have experience with a heartworm positive dog.....WHEN SHE WAS 5 YEARS OLD. IN MEXICO. IT WAS HER FATHERS DOG. My mom, at no fault of her own, once again let the counselor know what this was literally 25-30 YEARS AGO. And it technically wasn't her dog. She just grew up with this dog and knew that when her father first adopted it, it was heartworm positive. And of course they treated and cured the dog of heartworm as well! But, it didn't matter. The lady took the little dog out of my hands and said they don't adopt to anyone who has had a dog in the past that was heartworm positive. My mom was baffled and once again tried explaining that it wasn't her dog. They didn't care. I was sooooo upset and honestly I was mad at my mom for even saying anything but in retrospect it wasn't her fault. That rule is absolutely ridiculous especially if it apparently counts towards when you were a child with no autonomy over what animal happens to be in your life. I don't know if they still operate like this, but do yourself a favor and just go to Operation Kindness. A million times better and amazing customer service as well. This is where we ended up finding our new member to the family, Bella! This place definitely has first come first serve on animals but with their STAFF (as seen in other reviews posted) and they make it very obvious by the insane rules and "criteria" they use for adopting out a dog/cat. I am 22 years old now and still would not recommend.

Absolutely HORRIBLE experience. Found a stray dog in my neighborhood that was skin and bones today…read more I brought her to this shelter in hope that they could help her and possibly aid her back to help before rehoming. The lady in the front, Billy (if thats even her real name, she was hesitant on telling me), was EXTREMELY rude the second i walked in the door. Had the worst attitude Ive ever heard. Not at all helpful, and couldn't care less about the dog. She refused to take the dog because I didn't have proof of residency in rockwall (I just recently moved here). The dog was microchipped so they just gave me the owners name, number, and address. I dont even know if that should be allowed. I guess they just give out a persons information to a stranger. I had to give the poor dog back to the owner who is clearly abusing her since she looked like she hadnt eaten in months. They didnt offer to give the dog water, treats, nothing. Even though she was clearly hungry and thirsty. Luckily i gave her some before i had to return her back to the owner. I cant believe these are the people Rockwall allows to watch over those animals. Absolutely disgusting and unprofessional. Really shows how much the manager, owner, and city cares about the animals in need.
