Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary

Animal rescue in Pickering, ON

Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in 1996 by Joyce Smith who had been caring for animals from her home for 25 years. The sanctuary's mandate is to aid orphaned, sick or injured, and abandoned animals. Once rehabilitated, wild animals are released back into their natural habitat and domestic strays are housed with the hope of finding each one a good home.
