Mission Statement
Second Chance Rescue logo Second Chance Rescue specializes in the rescue and placement of abused, unwanted and abandoned companion animals. We are a no-kill shelter; no animal will be euthanized for lack of space, and we do not discriminate on the basis of health, age or breed. Our animals are examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and receive all medical treatment before they are placed in carefully screened homes. Second Chance Rescue believes educating the community and stressing the importance of spaying and neutering are the best ways to raise awareness of the plight of homeless animals.

About Us
Second Chance Rescue (registered with the IRS as Another Chance Animal Rescue, Inc.) is a Florida 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, which has been in existence for 25 years. We take in abandoned, abused, neglected, and unwanted dogs throughout several counties including Flagler, Duval, Volusia, Putnam, Orange, Levy, Bradford and Baker. We also provide assistance to other animals when space and funds are available. We are truly a no-kill shelter, funded solely on donations, which are 100% tax-deductible. We have no paid staff and all funds donated go directly to the animals. Over 28,000 animals have been adopted to amazing homes over more than 20 years!

Second Chance Rescue provides medical care, rehabilitation, proper nutrition and the much-needed love all animals deserve. To adopt one of our animals, an application process and home visit is mandatory. If you fill out an application, please give us time to review it closely and we will contact you. Our goal is to place animals in the right home. We hope you understand this process.

Contact us via email BpdebiG@aol.com for more information or to make an appointment to visit Second Chance Rescue. Email is the best way to contact us due to our busy days caring for the animals.

Meet Gunner!

This guy is a good boy! He's a 9 month old Lab mix, vaccinated, heartworm negative, on preventative and neutered. He is housebroken, great with other dogs, fine with cats and loves kids. He is just a big ol' puppy and loves to run and play! He needs a home with plenty of love, attention and someone willing to provide the basic training he'll need to be the perfect family pet!


Here's a cute video on the importance of spaying and neutering your pets!
