About A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, Inc.

A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue, founded in October 2007, is a 100% volunteer, foster-based 501(c)(3) non-profit rescue group based in Palm Beach County, Florida. From the Board of Directors to our Foster Caretakers to our Event Staff, each volunteer gives generously of their time and skills, motivated solely by a desire to help animals.

A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue combines a no-nonsense goal of saving animals' lives with the blood, sweat, and tears of countless volunteers with financial support from various donors (individuals and corporations alike). Now in its twelfth year, the group has rescued over 14,500 animals and continues to grow rapidly thanks in large part due to established relationships with various pet supply stores in Palm Beach County, including PETSMART and PETCO.

All of the grant writing, fundraising, application reviewing, event planning, supply collection, bathing and bottle feeding is done by volunteers who seek only to save the lives of pets. When opening their hearts just isn’t enough for some, they open their doors - fostering dogs and cats in need until they are adopted. Their dedication has made the group one of the largest no-kill rescue groups without a shelter.

Rescuing and arranging adoptions into loving homes for so many animals and successfully treating dozens of heartworm positive dogs are monumental tasks that have not gone unnoticed by the local media. The Palm Beach Post, The Wellington Town Crier and The Observer have all written articles promoting the group and its goal of finding homes for homeless pets.

Accomplishing our goal of saving homeless pets’ lives by providing them with safe, healthy foster environments until they are adopted by loving forever families, requires funding to pay for the food and medical needs of the rescued animals. Donated funds go directly to covering food and supplies, veterinary expenses and medical supplies, and overhead costs (printing of forms, webpage hosting, etc.). A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue relies solely on donations. We do not receive any government funding or grants.

We hope that after all you’ve learned about us, you will join us in our effort to save the homeless animals.  

Our Mission:

Devoted to saving pregnant and nursing dogs, cats and their offspring, keeping them in safe, healthy foster environments until they are adopted by loving forever families, while promoting animal welfare and the prevention of homeless animals by means of spay/neuter education and working toward the goal of a euthanasia-free community.

The Process:

Our animals are cared for in foster homes until they are vet checked, spayed or neutered, microchipped and current on all vaccines. Once a clean bill of health is given, then the adoption process begins. Thanks to one of our Adoption Partners, we are fortunate to be able to display some of our available our cats and kittens in local PETCO and PETSMART stores. These cats and kittens are all spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for adoption.

Adopting:

Every potential adopter regardless of age, sex, race, creed or religion will be required to fill out an application. All applications will be reviewed by an experienced Adoption Counselor to determine if the best interests of the animal are met. Once the ideal adopter is found, he/she will be given the opportunity to become a part of the animal's life.

BOARD MEETINGS:
Board meeting are held on the second Monday of each month. Email us at info@asecondchancerescue.org for the location.  Due to Covid-19  we will be facilitating meetings via conference call for the safety of our volunteers and board members.
