Welcome to the Second Chance Pet

Second Chance's Mission
We are a small non-profit organization of a few people dedicated to finding homes for endangered dogs. We rescue most of our pets from local shelters/pounds that may otherwise have to euthanize them due to lack of space, and puppy mills where they live in cages neglected until they are no longer useful. We also accept owner surrendered dogs on a limited basis depending on space. We usually get new dogs on a weekly basis and try to keep our petfinder page as updated as possible.
About Adoption
We try to place our animals locally (no long-distance adoptions) because we need to monitor our pets' progress in their new homes, and make sure we get them back if they do not work out. We do not bring all our pets to adoption day every week because they are in foster homes.
NOW, WHO ARE SECOND CHANCE PET ADOPTION LEAGUE? I'm going to tell you why you want to help Second Chance, rather than spend that money or time somewhere else; why Second Chance is different & why Second Chance deserves your help! So hang on & READ ON!
Second Chance Pet Adoption League is not only a small rescue, but a small group of volunteers, who know every inch of what animal rescue is & they are in for every bit of it! They know & love their dogs! Their likes & dislikes, but most importantly who they are! Just take a look at their Facebook posts & that becomes clear! Something else becomes clear in those posts & that's is that these are PAWS-ITIVE PEOPLE! I say that, because so many of their posts just give let you know that they absolutely DO NOT give up hope, on these dogs! Some people in the world of rescue ONLY see the negative of it, THEY MAINTAIN A SENSE OF HOPE & OF POSITIVITY! That's absolutely gotta be great for the animals, not to mention what it is for the volunteers, fosters or potential adopters! These ARE real RESCUE ANGELS & I'm sure I'll make that statement again before I'm done! READ ON!
Most rescues, I've found, have become cookie cutter, all sounding the same, yet when they speak, they say nothing useful. They mostly want to deal with puppies or younger dogs, since they are easily placed, bring higher adoption fees. There are far less medical bills & far more profits. They don't know who their animals are & they don't deal properly with their senior/special needs animals! Second Chance Pet Adoption League is doing just the opposite! They are not only taking care of these animals until adoption, but they are taking care of them for life, if that's what they require! That's real love & real rescue!
A real rescue always knows their dogs, takes the time to make the right placements, takes care of medical, doing it with love, while continuing to help the others in the process! This is the way that a true rescue should be run!
BELIEVE THIS, the road that Second Chance Pet Adoption League has chosen will be laden with hard work & is one that takes a lot of love & patience, as well! It is not something that I've found most rescues have the heart to choose, which brings me to my final point! Second Chance Pet Adoption League DESERVES our support, in whatever way you choose, because it does take that patience & love & showers it upon dogs, some which have never known love & some so ill, upon their arrival, that even other rescues, might call them disposable & give up on them! Second Chance Pet Adoption League gives them medical care, gives them a home & most importantly, gives them much needed love! If that doesn't deserve our respect & support, then I don't know what does! I have to say is that Second Chance Pet Adoption League does so much, for these dogs everyday, that EVERY one of us, owe them something, to help with all of the emotional & financial tolls, that they are paying daily. They get the love from the animals, but the suffer so much loss especially with the senior & special needs fur babies! The medical, food, spay/neuter are all through the roof & they are a small rescue with small adoption fees! They need our help, in the form of donations, volunteers, fosters, adoptions, Amazon Smile, wishlist items, or start a Facebook or Go Fund Me fundraiser! Not necessarily in that order! It’s more than a matter of the heart, it’s a matter of the human soul! It's a pay it forward kind of thing! You gotta feel it & when you feel it, you're just gonna feel better about you!
