Second Chance came together only 2 years ago after the Founder attending a USHS conference in Washington DC. When she came back she knew she needed to do something for her small rural community. Since the beginning of this small organization, Second Chance has adopted or placed over 300 animals. We are very small with only 6 people on the Board of Directors and an even small number of foster homes. We are in the process of purchasing a new vehicle for more transports and also a building to house more animals - the land has been purchased and getting ready to handle more rescues.

We are a rural county NO-Kill rescue that rescues animals from high kill facilities within the surrounding counties. We teach crate and potty trained. They go into a foster care program to lean to be sweet loving dogs. Each dog gets an opportunity to participate in Dog Obedience Training. We also provide a Feral Cat Colony on 9o acres of land. We take in owner surrenders if the animal has maintained their vaccinations. We request proof of vaccines and any medical history of the animal If available, we try to arrange transport for owner surrenders to be adopted with another NO-Kill facility in the north. We also rescue those that are considered "bully" breeds and get them ready for adoption. We have also be asked to help with abuse cases.
Additional adoption info
We have an application online to fill out and send in: fax or email. We do a home visit with the pet prior to adoption if not adopted at our events. We ask to be able to do a home visit after adoption to stay in communication with the owner and animal. Fees for dogs is $100 and puppies $125. Cats are $35. The other types of animals we ask for a donation and help with transport to their farm.
