UPDATE ON SHELTER CLOSING!!

As you may be aware, we have made the difficult decision to close our shelter building. With the retirement of our kennel manager, it became too much to maintain. So, in order to keep Second Chance alive, we will be using foster homes in order to house our animals. This way, we can continue to help as many dogs and cats as we can.

However, we would really like to place the dogs that are still at the shelter in either foster, or permanent homes as soon as possible. If you can help, please let us know!!

IF YOU CAN ADOPT OR FOSTER ONE OF OUR ANIMALS, PLEASE CALL 804-598-2100 ANYTIME!


Our goal is to find good homes for as many cats and dogs as we can, and to provide them with a safe, comfortable and healthy environment while they await adoption.


Our Featured Pet...

Rachel is a sweetheart in a basset body with husky coloring! Picked up as a stray by the local animal control, she spent approx. three weeks with them before coming to us. Extremely sweet and loving and very quiet, though too strong for young children, Rachel needs to be an only pet. Born approx. November 1998, she is a "short" 64 lbs.


What's New...

We have new and used carriers/Kennel Cabs and crates for sale!

We have several different styles and sizes available. All are clean and in very good condition. Prices vary by size and condition, but all of them are very affordable! Proceeds benefit our group. Call us today for more information!


A little bit about us...

Second Chance Animal Shelter is a small, non-profit(501C3), non-euthanizing animal rescue group. We take in adoptable cats and dogs, give them complete medical care and keep them until they are adopted.

All of our animals go to the vet as soon as they come to us. They are given a complete exam, vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered.


Adopting a friend...

We are very small and are not always available, so we work BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. All of our available animals are online. If you see someone you like, just give us a call at (804) 598-2100. A representative can give you more information about us and the animal.


The adoption fees include all medical work done on the animal, including vaccinations, examination, spay/neuter, de-worming, FIV/FeLV testing (all cats are negative), heartworm test (for dogs only, also includes treatment if dog is positive), flea/tick prevention, and heartworm prevention (dogs only). If the animal is still a baby, then the fee covers any remaining baby shots and their spay or neuter. Our animals are also eligible for ShelterCare Pet Insurance courtesy of Petfinder.
