2nd Chance Animal Sanctuary

Animal rescue in Hayden, AL

We are a volunteer all breed animal sanctuary including cats and dogs. We operate a 16 acre facility with play yards, kennels and a large cattery. We rescue from high-kill shelters as well as the needy animal found wandering the streets. We fully vet and spay/neuter all of our pets PRIOR to placement in wonderful forever homes. We have a strict application process that includes a home visit. We have to make sure that we get it right because our babies are lucky to get a "2nd Chance" and they might not get a 3rd.
