Second Chance is excited to welcome everyone back inside our facilities.
- Masks are recommended in animal adoption rooms and lobbies (due to confined spaces)
- Please continue to observe social distancing when possible.
How our adoption process works:
- All potential adopters must fill out our adoption survey so we can help you find the right pet.
- During high visitor times, we use a number system to hold your place in line. We assist as many people as we have staff to accommodate. This allows us to give you a better, personalized experience by having a dedicated adoption counselor.
- Adoptions are on a first come, first serve basis.
We recommend checking our Adopt a Pet page for the most up-to-date source for pets available for adoption at Second Chance.
