Second Chance Rescue is a small, 501c3 organization. It was formed approximately 8 years ago by 3 women who wanted to
make a difference in the lives of as many animals as they could. SCR does not have a building or shelter, but is made up of
foster homes. The animals that come to us are fostered in private homes until they are rehomed. While they are with us, we try
to help them become more adoptable, by working on some of the needs they may have; including, socialization, housebreaking,
basic commands, and walking nicely on leash, depending on the amount of time the animal spends with us.
Our dogs are always spayed or neutered and visit our vet for a check-up and any needed shots, if they are not current, before
they are adopted out. We do require potential adopters to fill out a contract and we charge an adoption fee, which helps to
cover our expenses in getting them ready for adoption.
Our rescue group is dedicated to finding permanent homes for the animals who pass through our organization. Some of them
come from the local humane society and are transferred to us for various reasons because they cannot be adopted out by
them. Others are owner surrenders. Whatever the circumstances, the animals we take in stay with us until they find their new
and permanent, loving homes. Unfortunately, we have very few foster homes. Families who are willing to open their homes to
these animals in need are scarce. Because of our limited resources, it also limits the number of animals we can take in. Foster
homes are always needed, as are donations.
Second Chance Rescue is a very small organization but, with the help of friends, we are growing and we hope that we can
continue to make a difference in the lives of animals in our communities. We are listed on Petfinder.com, as well as our own
website WWW.SCRCO.ORG , where you can see our rescues who are looking for their "forever homes." Please visit us and see
if we have your next, new canine family member!

Adoption Policy
1. Contact Second Chance about the pet you are interested in to schedule an in-home visit. We will
bring the pet to your home at a convenient time for you and your household.
2. During the home visit we will explain in more detail the expectations and procedures for adoption.
We will let the pet meet your other pets and family members to observe how well they get along. We
inspect the home for adequate shelter and discuss where the pet will live and sleep.
3. Paper work will be filled out, and an adoption fee ranging from $125 - $400 for dogs is
paid to Second Chance Rescue.
This includes:
4. Second Chance will not adopt an animal into a home for purposes of breeding, performing,
entertainment, experimentation, fighting, reselling, or personal gain. We find loving homes for pets
that will become part of the family. We reserve the right to deny any adoption application at our
discretion. *SPECIAL NEED DOGS MAY BE ADOPTABLE FOR A LESSER AMOUNT
5. For puppies the owner will be responsible for the remaining rounds of pup shots and rabies.
6. After the trial visit (a time agreed upon by the foster parent and you) the adoption donation will be
deposited which is non-refundable. We typically spend $150 per animal before it is ready for
adoption. Your adoption donation once deposited is basically already spent as we are usually
operating in the "red." Thus refunds are not possible and the money becomes a general
donation.
Second Chance Rescue operates under a no-kill philosophy; we make every possible effort to find suitable "Forever Homes" for all animals that we foster.
We do not have a fixed building for our animals, they are kept at individuals homes.
