About this episode
Mike Mapes discusses his initiative, Second Chance Bird Dogs, focusing on rescuing and rehoming bird dogs from shelters.
Mike Mapes started Second Chance Bird Dogs a few years back. His passion for bird dogs, especially those that get turned into shelters or rehomed over and over, was the catalyst for starting this. Mike has a full kennel year round, of dogs finding new homes and a waiting list of people looking for their next dog.
