Long Stays, Medical Issues, Special Foods, Training Are All Expensive |
On average, Second Chance spends about $1400 to care for each pet who comes to us. This is an average- so the dog who stays two days may only take a fraction of that. Pets like Dawn, Susie, Dean, and Gonzo take much more. While we don't keep a tally for each dog and cat, pets who need special medical care, multiple procedures, prescription food, training, and time stretch our resources.
"We wouldn't have it any other way. These high-need pets are as deserving of love as any others. Maybe more." says Nicholas Gilman, executive director of Second Chance.
That's why we ask you to give.
Help us help pets like Susie, Dean, Dawn, and our beloved Gonzo. |

Sometimes adoption isn’t an option, but a family can still help. One way we can open more space in the shelter is to place animals in foster homes. Foster placement can be a few days, a few weeks, or until the pet is adopted. Candidates for fostering include puppies and kittens who are too young to be in a shelter, pregnant or nursing mothers, older pets, pets who need training, or a pet who just needs a break from shelter life. Foster homes play a crucial role, enabling pets to be themselves by relaxing, learning, exploring, and interacting with people.
Foster volunteers start by completing a foster application and having a home visit to confirm that your home is safe and secure for a pet. It’s a great way to have the love of a pet in your home without making a long-term commitment. Second Chance provides all the food, medications, and supplies needed for the duration of the foster period. Read More
