Saturdays and Sundays, Second Chance for Animals is featured at PetsMart, in North Canton, on Dressler Road, from 10am to 4pm! Informational brochures, pictures, applications, and adoptable animals will be available for you at our table!
Second Chance for Animals, Inc. is a non-profit, no-kill companion animal rescue/adoption organization based in Canton, Ohio. We are a registered non-profit organization staffed entirely by volunteers.. We have 20 years of experience in rescuing, fostering, and adopting companion animals. We never euthanize animals. There is no animal that we cannot place.
We do not have a shelter, so all animals live in volunteers' homes, where they have the opportunity to interact with other pets and children.
We rescue and help neglected, abused, and abandoned companion animals animals find caring, responsible new homes. Our volunteers mend broken bodies, hearts, and spirits, giving animals a second chance at happy lives, free from cruelty and pain./p>
We work with a local veterinarian to provide immediate medical attention to all animals to ensure their health. Then, our dedicated volunteers provide temporary foster care until just the right owner is found. To promote compatible matches, a pre-adoption application is completed and approved before any animal is placed. We want the new home to be a happy and permanent one for both the animal and the adoptive family. So, we follow up with phone calls to the new adoptive animal parents to smooth over any potential problems that may arise after adoption.
We operate solely on donations and volunteer efforts, which can be a challenge. However, the challenges we face are nothing compared to the feeling we receive when an animal meets their forever family.
Donations of any of the following items will greatly benefit the animals in our care:
*Loving, stable foster homes
*Blankets or towels
*Feeding dishes
*Collars and leashes
*Grooming tools
*Cleaning products (bleach, paper towels, disinfectant spray)
*Cat litter
*Dog/puppy and cat/kitten food
*Pet toys
*Monetary donations
Monetary donations are the backbone to allow us to continue to do what we do for the animals and we appreciate every dollar donated to help us rescue animals in need and find them loving, forever homes.
After being inoculated and given a clean bill of health, every animal is kept in a family environment. Of course, accommodations are limited, but foster homes provide a clean, safe environment where pets are handled frequently, responsibly, and lovingly. Typically, animals thrive under these conditions, making socialization and assimilation into a new home overwhelmingly successful.
Typically, we do not take unwanted animals because they often come in multiples while new homes are carefully chosen one at a time. Our facilities are usually full of rescued animals. However, we will take photos and basic information about your pet to help adopt it out. Many people are very specific about the animal they wish to adopt, and your unwanted pet may be exactly what someone is seeking! We will aid you through the adoption process in any way we can.
Adoption fees are as follows:
*Puppies to unspayed/unneutered dogs- $35
*Kittens or unspayed/unneutered cats- $25
*Spayed/Neutered dogs- $55
*Spayed/Neutered cats- $45
We regret that, at this time, we cannot adopt to anyone located more than a 2-hour drive from Canton, Ohio.
