A Feast for Man & Beast

As we gather around the Thanksgiving table, savoring the delicious aromas and flavors of the season, it’s only natural to want to share the joy with our furry companions. It’s important to keep our pets’ safety in mind. Here’s some tips to make sure your pets enjoy a Thanksgiving feast that’s as safe as it is delicious.

Turkey Talk:

While turkey is a Thanksgiving staple, it’s essential to prepare it with your pets in mind. Avoid giving them the turkey bones, as they can splinter and cause serious internal injuries. Also, refrain from seasoning the meat with garlic, onions, or other spices that can be harmful to pets. If you want to share the joy of turkey with your pet, offer them a small, boneless, and well-cooked portion. Raw meat is not recommended to be fed to pets.

Sensible Sides:

Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green beans often find their way to the Thanksgiving table. While these can be safe for pets in moderation, be cautious about added ingredients like butter, sour cream, or marshmallows. Stick to plain, cooked vegetables without additional seasonings to keep your pets’ tummies happy.

Hold the Dessert:

As tempting as it may be to share your pumpkin pie or other sweet treats with your pet, it’s best to resist the urge. Many desserts contain ingredients like chocolate, xylitol, or spices that can be harmful to animals. Instead, treat your pet to a small amount of plain, canned pumpkin—just make sure it’s not the sugary pie filling.

Say No to Onions and Garlic:

These aromatic additions to many Thanksgiving dishes can be toxic to pets, causing damage to their red blood cells and severe anemia. Keep stuffing and other dishes containing onions and garlic out of reach, and make sure your guests are aware not to share these with your pets.

Be Wary of Nuts:

Nuts, a common ingredient in stuffing and desserts, can be a choking hazard for pets. Some nuts, like macadamia nuts, are also toxic to dogs. Keep dishes containing nuts well out of reach, and remind guests not to share nut-filled snacks with your furry friends.

Mindful of Portions:

While it’s a joy to include your pets in the Thanksgiving festivities, be mindful of portion sizes. Too much rich or unfamiliar food can lead to upset stomachs, diarrhea, bloat, or even more severe health issues. Stick to small, pet-friendly portions to avoid any post-feast regrets.

Knowing what foods are pet-friendly and keeping tempting but harmful treats out of reach, you can create a Thanksgiving feast that includes every member of the family, furry ones included.

Wishing you and your pets a happy and safe Thanksgiving!

Help Your Fluffy Friend Stay Warm This Winter with a Pre-Season Grooming

Winter is coming—discover why pre-winter grooming keeps double-coated dogs healthy, comfortable, and insulated. Book your pet’s grooming appointment today.

Winter is on its way, and for many double-coated dogs, that means one thing: their fur is about to work overtime. Before the cold settles in, a simple grooming appointment can make a world of difference in helping your pet stay comfortable, healthy, and truly winter-ready.

Our groomers see it every year – thick undercoats, early mats, and pups who start collecting snow like little four-legged magnets. While all that fluff may look cozy, tangled or impacted fur can actually prevent a dog’s coat from insulating the way nature intended.

Why Pre-Winter Grooming Matters

A seasonal grooming helps your dog:

Remove excess undercoat that can trap moisture or cause discomfort
Prevent mats that tighten in winter weather and may hide skin irritation
Maintain proper insulation (a clean, untangled coat keeps warmth in and cold out!)
Stay cleaner indoors, with less shedding and fewer “snowballs” stuck to their legs and belly

There’s a common myth that skipping grooming keeps double-coated breeds warmer. In truth, a well-maintained coat is far better for temperature regulation. When the fur is clean and brushed through, it creates the natural barrier your pet needs in cold weather.

A Little Care Now Makes the Whole Season Easier

A pre-winter grooming session is an easy way to help your pet feel their best before the snow starts flying. Our groomers take a gentle, health-focused approach to every appointment—because keeping pets comfortable is part of how we support families and the community.

The Secret to a Happier Cat: Why Enrichment Matters More Than You Think

Discover easy, effective cat enrichment ideas to keep your indoor cat mentally stimulated, physically active, and emotionally fulfilled every day.

Cats are curious, intelligent, and instinct-driven creatures who thrive in environments that engage their minds and bodies. Every stretch, pounce, and playful chase connects to their natural instincts, to hunt, climb, observe, and explore. When their daily lives encourage these behaviors, cats feel fulfilled, confident, and balanced.

Cat enrichment is the practice of supporting those instincts through thoughtful activities, play, and environmental design. It’s about more than toys, it’s the variety, interaction, and stimulation that keep a cat’s world interesting and rewarding. From a simple game of chase to a new perch by the window, enrichment invites cats to express who they are at heart: curious explorers with sharp senses and endless curiosity.

Enrichment isn’t a luxury or an occasional treat, it’s a cornerstone of feline well-being. Providing consistent mental, physical, and emotional stimulation helps reduce stress, prevent boredom, and support lifelong health. A cat who plays, climbs, and engages daily isn’t just entertained, they’re thriving.

Why Enrichment Matters for Indoor Cats

Indoor cats live safe, comfortable lives, but that safety also means their world depends entirely on what their humans create for them. Without the ever-changing sights, sounds, and challenges of the outdoors, it’s up to cat parents to bring variety and stimulation into their cats’ daily lives. Enrichment gives indoor cats the chance to express their natural instincts—to play, explore, climb, scratch, and observe—within the safety of home.

Regular enrichment keeps cats mentally sharp, physically active, and emotionally balanced. It turns routine into adventure, helping prevent stress and boredom while strengthening the bond between cat and caregiver. By rotating toys, adding new textures, or offering different play experiences, cat parents can keep their companions engaged and fulfilled every day.

When enrichment is missing, cats can experience:

Boredom and frustration that lead to destructive behaviors like scratching or overgrooming.
Emotional decline, including withdrawal, anxiety, or depression.
Physical health issues such as weight gain, stiffness, or other inactivity-related conditions.

Simple Ways to Enrich Your Cat’s Indoor Life

Enrichment doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, it’s about keeping your cat’s world interesting, engaging, and full of healthy outlets for their natural instincts. A few small changes and mindful routines can make an enormous difference in your cat’s daily happiness and well-being.

Here are some simple, effective ways to add enrichment to your home:

Interactive Playtime: Set aside time each day to play together using wand toys, feather teasers, or small balls to mimic hunting behaviors. These sessions provide both exercise and bonding.
Vertical Space: Cats love to climb and observe their surroundings. Add cat trees, wall-mounted shelves, or safe furniture access points to give them places to jump, perch, and rest up high.
Scratching Opportunities: Offer multiple scratching options, like posts, cardboard pads, or sisal boards, to satisfy their instinct to stretch, mark territory, and maintain healthy claws.
Food Enrichment: Use puzzle feeders, treat-dispensing toys, or hide small portions of food around the home. Encouraging cats to “hunt” for meals keeps them mentally stimulated and engaged.
Sensory Variety: Introduce new textures and scents through cat-safe herbs like silvervine or valerian, soft blankets, or toys with different materials. Even something as simple as rearranging toys can renew interest.
Observation & Relaxation: Create cozy resting spots near windows where your cat can safely watch birds, squirrels, or passing people. Visual stimulation helps satisfy their curiosity and calm their mind.
Catios (Enclosed Outdoor Spaces): For an added layer of enrichment, a catio lets cats safely enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and the sights and sounds of nature, all within a secure, enclosed environment. Catios combine outdoor adventure with indoor safety, giving cats the best of both worlds. Don’t know where to start on your catio journey? Catios come in all shapes and sizes, from DIY kits to fully customized, professionally built catios designed to fit your home and your cat’s personality.

Recognizing When Your Cat Needs More Enrichment

Cats are excellent at adapting to their environment, but they’re also experts at hiding boredom or frustration until it starts showing through their behavior. Recognizing the early signs that your cat needs more stimulation can help prevent stress and keep their mind and body in balance.

Here are some common signals your cat may need more enrichment in their daily routine:

Increased sleeping or lethargy: While cats naturally sleep a lot, excessive rest or disinterest in playtime can be a sign of boredom rather than contentment.
Aggression toward people or other pets: Cats that feel understimulated may redirect their pent-up energy or frustration through biting, swatting, or chasing other animals in the home.
Attention-seeking or destructive behaviors: Scratching furniture, knocking things off tables, or vocalizing excessively can be ways your cat is asking for interaction or engagement.
Overgrooming or self-soothing habits: When cats groom excessively or lick certain areas raw, it can sometimes stem from stress or lack of stimulation.
Changes in appetite or eating from boredom: Some cats eat simply because there’s nothing else to do, while others may lose interest in food altogether when unstimulated.
Reduced curiosity or play drive: A cat that once explored, played, or watched the world but now seems withdrawn or disinterested may need fresh experiences and new challenges.

These behaviors aren’t signs of a “bad” or “lazy” cat, they’re forms of communication. By recognizing them early and adding new sources of enrichment, you can help restore balance, relieve stress, and bring back your cat’s natural spark.

However, while these behaviors often point to a lack of enrichment, they can also indicate an underlying medical issue. If your cat shows sudden changes in behavior, appetite, or energy, it’s always best to consult your veterinarian to rule out any health concerns before adjusting their routine.

A Fulfilled Cat Is a Healthy Cat

Enrichment isn’t just about keeping your cat busy, it’s an ongoing expression of love and care. Every play session, climbing space, and new scent you introduce helps your cat live a more vibrant, confident, and joyful life. It’s a way of saying, “I see who you are, and I want your world to be full.”

Small daily changes can make a big difference. Five minutes of interactive play, a new texture to explore, or a cozy perch with a view can turn an ordinary day into something exciting and meaningful for your cat. The key is consistency, offering new experiences, challenges, and affection that keep their body active and their mind curious.

When we enrich our cats’ worlds, we do more than entertain them, we nurture their instincts, protect their health, and strengthen the bond that makes them part of our family. A fulfilled cat isn’t just happier; they’re healthier, more confident, and truly thriving.

10 Lucky Pups Heading to Foxborough for the Pawtriots “TailGate” Adoption Event October 19th

Join Second Chance at the Patriots Foundation Pawtriots “TailGate” Oct. 19 at Patriot Place — football, family fun, and adoptable dogs await!

Second Chance is teaming up with the New England Patriots Foundation and the Kraft family for the Pawtriots “TailGate” at Patriot Place on Sunday, October 19! Join us for a fun-filled day of football, family activities, and adoptable dogs looking for their forever homes.

We’re deeply grateful to the Patriots Foundation for shining a spotlight on shelter pets and helping more animals find the love and care they deserve. Events like this make such a difference, not just for the pets who find homes, but for the awareness they build around the importance of adoption and access to affordable veterinary care.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Patriot Place on October 19 to support this incredible event — and congratulations to all who met your new best friend!

Second Chance is excited to join the New England Patriots Foundation and the Kraft family for the upcoming Pawtriots “TailGate” at Patriot Place in Foxborough on Sunday, October 19. This special event will celebrate pet adoption and give families the opportunity to meet some amazing dogs looking for forever homes — all while cheering on the Patriots!

The Pawtriots initiative was launched earlier this year by the Patriots Foundation to promote adoption and raise awareness about the growing need for loving homes for shelter pets. The kickoff event at Patriots Training Camp was an incredible success, with every featured dog finding a home. We’re thrilled to continue that momentum and bring ten Second Chance dogs to this next big adoption event.

The Pawtriots “TailGate” begins at 11:30 a.m., with the Patriots vs. Tennessee Titans game kicking off at 1:00 p.m.Fans are encouraged to bring blankets and chairs to enjoy the game on the big outdoor screen and make a day of it! The event will also include appearances by Patriots Alumni and Super Bowl Champions Brian Hoyer and David Andrews, Pat Patriot, and the Patriots Cheerleaders, along with music, face painting, airbrush tattoos, interactive games, and food trucks — something for the whole family to enjoy.

As part of the event, the Patriots Foundation invites fans to bring pet food, toys, collars, and leashes to donate in support of local shelters and animals in need.

A special meet and greet area will also be set up for families interested in meeting our adoptable dogs. If you already have a dog at home, we encourage you to bring them along for a meet and greet — these introductions help ensure that everyone, both two- and four-legged, is comfortable and compatible, setting the stage for a happy, lasting match.

Booms and Bustle: Summer Fireworks and Travel Safety Tips for Your Pets

Summer is a wonderful time for outdoor fun, family vacations, and celebrating holidays like the Fourth of July. But while we may enjoy the fireworks and road trips, these seasonal traditions can be stressful or even dangerous for our pets. I want to share some important reminders to help keep your furry family members safe and as comfortable as possible through the busy summer months.

Fireworks and Noise Anxiety

Loud noises like fireworks and thunderstorms can be overwhelming for pets. Their hearing is much more sensitive than ours, and many experience real panic when they hear those unexpected booms. Pets can injure themselves trying to escape crates, jumping through windows, or even running across the street. Frightened pets may even run away from home.

Some signs your pet might be struggling with noise anxiety include trembling, hiding, panting, pacing, vocalizing, and trying to escape. It’s heartbreaking to see them so afraid, but there are things you can do to help.

Start by creating a quiet, safe space in your home where your pet can feel secure. Close windows and curtains and turn on the TV or a fan to help mask the noise. Stay calm and be reassuring but avoid overreacting to their fear. Sometimes we mean well and end up reinforcing the behavior.

If your pet has a history of noise phobia, please talk to us ahead of time. There are calming wraps, supplements, and medications that can make a real difference. We can help you find the right solution for your pet.

And most importantly, never bring your pet to a fireworks display, and make sure they are indoors well before dusk. If your pet is not microchipped or their contact info isn’t current, now is the time to get that taken care of. We see too many lost pets each summer who don’t make it home because they aren’t chipped or their registration isn’t up to date.

Traveling With Your Pet

If you’re planning a summer getaway and want to bring your pet along, a little preparation goes a long way.

Make sure your pet is up to date on vaccines and parasite preventives and ask us for a copy of their medical records if you’re traveling across state lines or boarding them during your trip. Pack a travel kit that includes food, water, medications, a leash, waste bags, and familiar items like their bed or favorite toy.

Always use a secure carrier or travel harness when in the car and take frequent breaks for water and bathroom needs. Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can climb to deadly levels quickly, even if the windows are cracked.

If you’re flying, be sure to check airline regulations well in advance, and make sure your pet is healthy enough for travel. Most destinations and airlines will require a health certificate for entry. And if your pet is staying home, plan ahead for a trusted pet sitter or boarding facility.

Local Resident Surrenders 52 Cats to Second Chance

Last Friday, we took in 52 cats from a single local home—one of the largest intakes in in recent history. The cats were surrendered by a well-meaning resident who had been rescuing homeless cats over time but was no longer able to care for them due to medical issues.

Though none of the cats were spayed, neutered, or vaccinated, they were clearly loved and cared for.

Delta arrived with her seven kittens. This family will live with one of our amazing fosters until they are old enough for adoption.

These cats are remarkably well-socialized according Danielle Bowes, our foster coordinator & adoption counselor. Many of them came right to the front of the cage for head boops and attention. Among the group is a mother cat with seven kittens who have already been placed in a foster home.

The cats received exams from Second Chance Shelter Veterinarian Dr. Jackie Celmer and her team, who began the process of updating vaccinations and identifying those in need of further medical treatment. Two underweight kittens and a pregnant mom will also be heading into foster care, while twelve cats are being treated for upper respiratory infections. The rest will soon be scheduled for spay and neuter surgeries.

With this many cats, the medical care quickly adds up. these cats require hundreds of vaccines, two weeks of medication for upper respiratory infections, and specialized care for underweight and pregnant cats. They also need foster care, food, litter, and daily staff support. Based on initial examinations, the total cost is expected to exceed $18,000.

We’re asking for the community’s support to defray this large expense and also, once they are ready for adoption, to adopt these wonderful cats.

Puddles, one of the tiniest of the rescue weighing in at just 1.5 lbs, is being treated for a painful abscess.

Contributions can also be made through the Second Chance Facebook page, or by mail to Second Chance, 111 Young Road, East Brookfield, MA 01515.

We know this pet owner truly cared for these animals but sometimes compassion alone isn’t enough. That’s when we step up, thanks to the support of people who believe in giving every pet the chance they deserve.

If you’re hoping to adopt one of these rescued cats, keep an eye on our adoptable cat page where they will be listed as they become available, alongside many other wonderful pets still waiting for homes.

JUNE 19th UPDATE:

One of the first cats to arrive at the adoption center

Duck was one of the first of the group to be adopted

The flurry of activity continues, caring for this special group of cats and kittens. The first group arrived at the Adoption Center in East Brookfield where some of them have already found homes. Sadly, we learned that the cat that was initially thought to be expecting was found to be carrying a non-viable litter.

Yesterday 7 from the group traveled to our satellite adoption center at the Northborough PetSmart where 5 lucky felines quickly found their new families. River and Lobster are looking forward to finding their forever homes at Northborough PetSmart Saturday with adoption hours from 10am to 1pm. We’ll also be bringing some of this group to the Framingham PetSmart satellite tomorrow ahead of Saturday’s 2-5pm adoption hours.

To see all the available cats, visit our adoptable cats page.

Lobster, 1.5-year-old male Currently at Northborough PetSmart

JUNE 26th UPDATE:

Amazing sews! Over 30 of this group of special cats have found homes. The cats that were being treated for URI have recovered. One cat still has an eye ulcer that is not quite healed yet but much improved. The others are doing great and underwent spay and neuter surgery. We are so grateful for your support for this special group of cats.

Here we have Ocean, now called Nyx. His momma says he’s super cuddly with her. He’s such a love and he never stops purring!

July 16th UPDATE:

One month ago, 52 cats found hope when they came to Second Chance from a single home. Thanks to amazing adopters, 34 have already found their forever families!

A sweet mama and her 7 kittens are growing strong in foster care and will be ready next month, but 10 wonderful cats are still waiting for someone to open their heart and home.

Could that someone be you? Come meet them and see if your new best friend is one of them!

Love Heals: Bacio’s Inspiring Journey

Seeing Bacio today, it’s hard to imagine the pain he once endured. His days are filled with sunshine, snuggles with his cat siblings, and the joys of living with a loving family. But his journey to this happy ending started with heartbreak.

Bacio, then known as Pogo, came to us with a devastating injury. This sweet, gentle cat had been shot. We may never know how or why, but we knew one thing: He needed urgent care. Our medical team acted fast to relieve his pain. Second Chance surgeons were not able to save his injured leg. But we could save him. And through it all–through surgery, recovery and rehab–this resilient cat never stopped being sweet and trusting. His spirit carried him through.

Once he had healed, the next step was finding him a home. It didn’t take long. His new family saw the same spark in him that we did. They gave him a new name: Bacio, the Italian word for kiss, in honor of the kisses he likes to give. And most importantly, they gave him a new life filled with affection, companionship, and second chances.

Today, Bacio is thriving with his new family. He’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

Every year, Second Chance helps thousands of pets just like Bacio—animals with stories that didn’t begin happily, but can still have a joyful ending.

Watch Bacio’s journey in this short video:

Two Years, Six Days

An open letter to my dog, Roxie.

by Second Chance volunteer Mike

It was 2 years and 6 days that you spent in the shelter. And you eventually adjusted to shelter life, you finally let more and more people into your social circle. Two years filled with stress and anxiety; I hope the 2-3 days a week that I visited and took you out were the best parts of your week because they were the best part of mine. It was two years of doing the best you could with what you were given. We didn’t know what your future was going to look like, but we knew it was going to take a specific person to take you home, someone to put in the time, to earn your trust, to give you freedom and let you make choices on your own. You needed to feel safe. We knew the person that gave you your second chance was going to have to understand a dog like you with big feelings and be able to love you for who you are and not what they wanted you to be.

I remember Bethany, Second Chance’s adoption councilor and staff trainer, telling me about you and I just knew I had to meet you. You’re my kind of dog. Folks at Second Chance know the dogs I gravitate towards. I like the dogs that bark and growl and snap. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about dogs like you and learning from you. I know most dogs like you are just scared and confused and trying to fit into a world that is ever changing around them and just trying to make sense of it all. Once upon a time you would have been the dog so many people wanted in their home, loyal and protective and vigilant and vocal. Once upon a time we wanted dogs like you, for security, for protection. But now we punish dogs like you for exact instincts we selected for them.

I remember meeting you and bringing a peanut butter Barkpouch and you licked it and growled at me and barked and then licked some more peanut butter and you kept your eyes on me the whole time. I realized that you were more comfortable in an open space where you had freedom of choice so we spent time in the grassy yard. I realized you loved squeaky stuffies and loved to play. I remember how goofy you looked dancing around the stuffed animal. I remember how afraid you were of me just putting the leash on you or touching you around your head so we worked on all your fears, slowly and carefully, and with a bit of patience we overcame so much together.

Do you remember the first time we got into the car and the first time we tried to take a walk. Do you remember the woods you wouldn’t walk in, the trails you froze up on. The time after time I sat on the ground waiting for you to feel safe so we could move forward or head back to the car.

I remember being so proud the first time you walked the trails with your nose on the ground and not a care in the world. You walked with so much pride and intent and purpose. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Just to be part of that day gave me so much peace and I saw the real special individual you so desperately needed to be. To watch you grow and blossom and come out of your shell. I knew then we had something to work with and maybe your future wasn’t so bleak. But there aren’t a lot of people out there for a dog like you. And I know that.

When we first met, I didn’t have a house, I was living in an apartment that did not allow dogs. When we first met, I had just said goodbye to one of my favorite shelter dogs as she went home with her new family and I lost some very important people in my life during those times. I needed you then as much as you needed me. I saw you become a better version of yourself and you helped me become a better version of myself. So, I had a mission, I decided to buy us a house. I know there are not a lot of people out there that would do this for a shelter dog and I know that it seems crazy to buy a house for a dog. It wasn’t that I needed to buy you a house; you made me realize that I needed a house to give you a home.

And I know, you’ll never be that friendly neighborhood dog, you’re not going to be a dog park dog and I’m ok with that. You’re not the dog the greets strangers with a big grin and a wagging tail and I’m ok with that. But you’re a smart dog and you arehappy in my world and I am happy to have you in it. You’re goofy dog and silly dog and you’re a loving dog to the people you let in. And for 2 years and 6 days you were a shelter dog. But now as I write this and you sleep by my feet in a house that you made a home, I feel like you are now the dog you were meant to be. My dog.

Welcome home. Roxie.

Just a personal note to anyone reading this….

To all the people out there that say they don’t have time for a dog, that it wouldn’t be fair to take a dog home and be at work half the day. If you have the space, and a soft bed, or a comfy blanket and the means to fill a food bowl and water dish. There is a dog out there for you. A senior dog that doesn’t need a lot of time and even appreciates alone time. A nervous dog that just needs a little love and attention. Even though the shelter staff love and care for these amazing pups, they would still do better in a home even if it’s just a good meal and soft pets and some chill time in front of the TV. You don’t need a big home, or a big car, or big bed. You just need a big heart.

The shelter staff is well equipped to help you find that rare gem or that senior dog that you just might need just as much as the need you. Please consider adoption.
