This group was created for all animals who have been offered a second chance at life, whether they were rescued from a shelter or saved from abuse or neglect. Humans who have offered an animal a second chance are invited to join as are those who support animal rescue efforts - and of course all animals lovers are welcome, too!

RESCUE GROUPS: Please feel free to post information on animals needing adoption here!!!




Tabby's Place










Let's make a difference! There are millions of shelter animals out there who need a loving home and face the horrible fate of euthanasia. It's estimated that 9.6 MILLION animals are euthanized annually in the U.S -56% are dogs and 71% are cats. Only 25% of dogs and 24% of cats that enter shelters are adopted!

Group members are offered information on animal adoption agencies, animal welfare and health issues, and of course love support for their second chance at life! Be sure to check the 'Adoptable Pet' bulletins, too!

Second Chance Star of the Month




We would love to feature all animals who were given a second chance and all humans who support animal rescue in any way!

Want to have your pic and story featured here? Send your name, pic and story to Skylar. Each month an animal / human will be chosen to be a second chance star. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WHO ENTERS IS FEATURED!
