Mission

Second Chance Animal Rescue was founded in 1994. It is an all-volunteer organization. The foundation of Second Chance is to provide homeless dogs and cats with a second chance at life and companionship. We value the life of each animal we encounter. We work with animal control facilities and private rescue efforts to save as many animals as possible.

Programs

Second Chance operates through relationships with local veterinarians and volunteer foster homes. All animals that come into our program are vet checked, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed, feline-leukemia or heartworm checked. Then they go into volunteer foster homes that work with each animal on their individual needs until permanent adoptive homes are found. We screen all potential adopters in order to find the best home. Adopters are required to sign a contract regarding the care and treatment of the animal and to return it to our program if they can no longer keep it. We place ads in local newspapers and hold adoption events at local pet supply stores to find potential adopters.
