If you truly believe in our mission, we need your help. A foster home is the greatest gift you can give to a rescued dog. Please click on "Our Adoptable Pet List" above and look at all our great pets! They are all great dogs and cats, but for one reason or another, haven't found their forever families yet. Please give them a Happy Ending! and if you can foster one of them, please email us at secondchancenm@yahoo.com.

INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?
We are not a shelter; we are a network of foster homes. All of our adoptable pets are in foster homes. We have adoption events every so often. Watch our home page for the dates!
We do not adopt straight from the store and we are not first-come first-served; rather we take applications and select the most compatible home for the particular dog after performing a home visit. Our goal is that each adoption is permanent and that requires a good match between the pet and its new family.
But you need not wait for our adoption events, if you are interested in one of our great dogs and cats, please email us to we will arrange for you to meet them. We'll send you an application right away! We'd love to schedule a time for you to meet them. The adoption fee covers spay/neuter, microchip and age-appropriate vaccines.
SURRENDERING YOUR PET.....
Unfortunately, SCAR is having to temporarily freeze our intake of animals as we are over-loaded with foster dogs.
A note about Courtesy Listings:
We want to help those who need to find homes for their pets due to unforeseen tragedy or circumstances outside of their (or their pet’s) control. We will list dogs and cats as a "courtesy listing' for people trying to find homes for their pets as well as suggest other alternatives than taking your pet to an animal shelter.
We ask for a $25.00 donation for this service. Please remember, WE CAN’T TAKE ANY MORE ANIMALS into our group as we do not have a facility. We do want to help, especially those who are willing to help themselves, and their pet.
Who We Are....
We are a New Mexico non-profit corporation dedicated to giving pets a second chance at a happy life. We are all volunteer and we exist on donations. We desperately need monetary donations or donations of food, bedding, treats, toys, etc. Please email us at secondchancenm@yahoo.com if you would like to donate OR mail a donation to Second Chance Animal Rescue, Inc., P.O. Box 15194, Rio Rancho, NM 87174.

We also collect used (un-activated) cell phones as a continuous fundraiser. If you would like a collection box for your business or office to help out our animals, please email us at secondchancenm@yahoo.com for more info. We turn the used cell phones in to a cell phone company and receive money for them. We use all of the money we raise to pay for vet expenses for our animals.
Gift cards to pet stores such as Petco are a great help as many of our animals have special needs diets.
