Second Chance Ranch (S.C.R.) is a non-profit, volunteer equine rescue that provides quality care and placement for equines in need. Established in 1996, the main goal of The Ranch is to prevent animals from needlessly going to slaughter and to find them loving homes. Second Chance Ranch animals are cared for by a team of dedicated horsemen who volunteer their barns and time to animals in need.
SCR accepts any equine no matter size, shape or breed. SCR accepts equines with all types of injuries, maladies and special needs.
All equines, once they arrive in at our foster barns, are evaluated to determine what special needs the animal may have and what level of skill will be needed to handle the animal. Each animal is an individual and has individual needs. Our volunteers will rehabilitate / re-train to the best of their ability, working closely with the dedicated equine professionals that donate their services to our cause.

Additional adoption info
All of our horses are place with a "right of possession" contract. It states that if the horse can no longer be kept by the adopter, for any reason, it must be returned to SCR. There is a no-bred clause for mares.
We require safe fencing, appropriate shelter and regular vet/farrier care for our adopted horses. We will check up on the adopted horses regularly to make sure they are being well cared for.
Adoption fees are on a sliding scale depending upon the level of training, the age and the physical issues of the animal. Our adoption fees are negotiable, as what is most important to us is the perfect forever home for each of our “kids”.
