All of our rescues are special and need a loving home, so please take the opportunity to view all of out pets.
We can not continue rescuing unwanted, abused and neglected pets without your support and private donations.
Even the smallest donation helps!
We ALWAYS need used/new dog crates, of any size. If you have a crate to donate we will be more than happy to come pick it up!
Who We Are
Another Chance Rescue started when a group of caring individuals trying to save those without voices. We partnered with rescues throughout Florida and Georgia. We assist rescues with their efforts by sponsoring, fostering, transporting, cross posting, networking and building relationships.
Another Chance Rescue is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to giving unwanted or displaced small purebred and mixed-breed dogs a second chance and a new beginning at life. We are limited in what we can do by the number of foster homes, volunteers and donations that we have available to us, so please consider applying to foster or volunteer in any way you can. We serve the Central Florida area but will try to accommodate out of state adoptions when possible. We rely solely on the donations of private individuals and adopters to be able to continue our rescue work. Your donation helps to defer the cost of rescuing, vetting and rehoming pets in need. Our adoption donations range from $20 to $600 according to the age of the pet.
Where our adoptable pets come from...
Every year, countless abused, neglected, abandoned or simply unwanted animals come into rescue organizations such as ours. Our pets come from local shelters, owners who can no longer keep their pets, or from breeders who wish to relinquish their breeder dogs. The number of abused, neglected and euthanized animals continues to grow and is staggering.
Adopting a new Family Member...
Our goal is to place rescued animals in warm, loving, permanent homes where all their needs will be met. If for any reason an adopter can no longer keep their adopted pet, it is required that the animal be returned to Another Chance Rescue, as specified in our contract with you. We hope you will find your new family member with us.
Remember to take time to do your research. If you don't find a compatible companion through us, check your local animal control and save a life there. But do check back with us often as our website is updated regularly. If you do not see the pet you are looking for on our site, please fill out an adoption application and we will contact you when we feel we may have a suitable match. Please understand we must be selective in our matchmaking process for the sake of the animals we rescue. They count on us to provide for their continued safety in their new lives.
Fostering Saves Lives and What an Honor it is to be a Foster Parent ...
We do not have a facility for the animals we rescue. We rely on loving homes to keep the animals safe until we find permanent homes.
Foster parents take animals that are scheduled to be put to death at Animal Services and work to find loving homes for them. So many of the animals at Animal Services deserve to live; if you agree to become a foster parent, you will be saving a life while enriching your own.
The rewards of being a foster parent are many. They include offering an animal a second chance and the added benefit of receiving the love and attention right back from the animal you nurture. A foster parent provides a temporary home for kittens, puppies, dogs, cats, or other animals in need. The length of fostering can vary from a few days to several months depending on the amount of care or behavioral modification that is needed. The devotion and care given during this time allows the animal a second chance to be adopted by a loving home.
Temporary foster families are needed for a variety of reasons; limited shelter space, treatment and care after an illness or injury, and extremely young animals
Without the additional time and care provided by temporary foster families, many of the animals that fall into the above three categories would be euthanized.
Every animal rescue groups and shelters need foster homes. Our rescued pets are housed in the private homes of foster volunteers. (our adoptable pets can be viewed by making an appointment). In these environments, they learn how to live in a home as a cherished family member and to be part of the daily workings of a family environment.
They also learn to cope with a variety of social situations. We provide our rescued pets with a safe environment, a warm bed to sleep in at night (usually ours) and nutritious, wholesome food during their fostering experience. While in our care, our rescued animals receive behavioral training emphasizing positive reinforcement. We provide for any medical needs that are necessary to make our rescued pets healthy and adoptable, including monthly Heartworm and Flea Prevention. They are up-to-date on their vaccinations and either are spayed or neutered or will be scheduled while in foster care and ALWAYS prior to their adoption.
We would love to have you join the hundreds of people experiencing the rewards of caring for homeless animals in our community.
Did You Know?
Pet Overpopulation in the United States
It is impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States; estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million.
The average number of litters a fertile cat produces is 1 to 2 a year; average number of kittens is 4-6 per litter. The average number of litters a fertile dog produces is 1 a year; average number of puppies is 4-6.
Owned cats and dogs generally live longer, healthier lives than strays. Most strays are lost pets who were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification. Only 10% of the animals received by shelters have been spayed or neutered. About 75% of owned pets are neutered.
The cost of spaying or neutering a pet is less than the cost of raising puppies or kittens for a year.
5 out of 10 dogs in shelters and 7 out of 10 cats in shelters are destroyed simply because there is no one to adopt them. All data are ASPCA estimates.
