Second Chance Pet Rescue

The adoption process takes about an hour and does not require you to fill out any paperwork ahead of time – you’ll do that once you’ve met someone and decide it’s a good fit. Please note: If we are currently running an adoption special, the wait to adopt may be longer than an hour, so please allocate additional time for your visit. If you have met a pet and believe it will be a great fit for your home, you will fill out some paperwork and sit down with one of our adoption counselors for a quick interview. If all is approved, in most cases you will be able to take home your new pet that day. They will have been spayed/neutered, microchipped, have age-appropriate vaccines, have been heartworm tested, and have received intestinal dewormer. Our adoptions are first come, first serve. If you are interested in visiting our shelter, we recommend looking at the available pets online as close to your travel date as possible to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information regarding the animals in our care. If you need to introduce your pet(s) to our pet, we recommend visiting an animal first to make sure that it is a good candidate for your home, and so that you have free hands. If you decide you would like to proceed with a meet and greet, you could then please bring your dog to the shelter and staff will assist you. It's best to have a friend with you to hold onto your dog while you make arrangements to meet the prospective new pet. Our staff will let your dog and our dog drag a leash and greet each other naturally, without you present so that the introduction can be as objective as possible. Please plan on separating your newly adopted dog from your current dog on your drive home (in a kennel, for example), unless you have assistance. We do not advise cat meet n’ greets. Instead, our staff members will discuss the best way to introduce your new cat to your current cat(s) in the home. Adoption Fees: All animals: $50 All pets come dewormed, spayed and neuetered, microchipped and shots are up to date.
