We place all Second Chance dogs and cats into volunteer foster homes until they are adopted (we do not have a facility).

Second Chance Animal Rescue does not euthanize except in cases of extreme suffering.

All rescued animals are spayed or neutered, FeLV and FIV or heartworm checked, vaccinated, wormed and flea treated.  They are then placed in volunteer foster homes until permanent homes are found.  The animals are brought to off-site adoption events in local malls and stores and are advertised in local newspapers in order to find loving homes. 

We need your help in these foster care situations:

• Dogs and Cats:  Since most dogs and cats are rescued from animal control facilities, we don't have any information on the majority of them.  Therefore, we need foster parents to create a profile on them to let us know if they are housebroken, good with other animals (if you have any), good with children (if you have any), know any tricks or commands, etc.

• Pregnant Dogs and Cats:  Taking care of pregnant animals through the delivery and eight weeks after birth in order to properly wean and socialize the puppies/kittens.  We request that you have a separate room away from other animals for the foster animal to deliver and raise her litter.

• Young Litters:  Taking care of litters of puppies or kittens that are under eight weeks of age.  Litters require from one to six weeks of care.  There may or may not be a mother with the litter.  Again, we request that you have a separate room or area away from other animals where the puppies/kittens can stay.
