Second Chance is usually at capacity. We typically have a waiting list of people who need to surrender a dog or cat. This is not unique to us, as most shelters around the country are experiencing the same things. We appreciate the confidence our community has by turning to us when the difficult decision to surrender is made.

Why do people volunteer? Some want to make the world a better place, help those in need, set a good example for others, or meet new people. Better mental health has long been attributed to involvement in community activities such as volunteering. Could it be that volunteering also improves one’s physical health?
