2017 Membership Drive for Second Chance Pet Rescue

For over 30 years, Second Chance Pet Rescue of Grand Lake has worked tirelessly to rescue homeless dogs and cats in the Grand Lake and Northeast Oklahoma communities.  Our animal rescue is a nonprofit, life-saving organization that relies on financial support from private donations to provide care, food, and a nurturing environment to homeless animals until they can be adopted.

Join today to help all those many homeless animals that will miraculously find their way to our rescue shelter!  The 2017 Membership Drive to become a supporting member of Second Chance Pet Rescue is now underway.  Pictured is Dancy, a cute-as-a-button Jack Russell terrier mix available for adoption.  Your 2017 Membership Pledge will make a difference in finding Dancy a home and in the lives of the many animals that are relinquished or abandoned each day to our animal rescue shelter. 

Did you know that the average intake expense in 2016 to rescue one homeless pet was approximately $100 per animal which covered spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchip (required by Oklahoma Animal Shelter Licensing Act), and veterinary services.  This amount represents only the initial veterinary costs incurred when an animal first enters our shelter.  It does not include the shelter's expense for nutrition, employee wages, administrative expenses and overhead to care for the animal until it is adopted,  In 2016 alone, our animal rescue accepted 765 animals through our facility with a total of 583 animals transported to out-of-state shelters for adoption!  Although that number seems staggering to some, the number of homeless dogs and cats in our Grand Lake communities never seems to diminish but continues to grow.  Only with the public's awareness and effort that spay/neuter of family pets is the only way to STOP pet overpopulation can this very serious epidemic be overcome.
