2018 Membership Drive for Second Chance Pet Rescue

For 34 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 2018 Membership Drive to become a supporting member of Second Chance Pet Rescue is now underway.  Available for adoption is Dorothy, a sweet retriever mix about 4 months old.  Dorothy was discarded and found in a trash dumpster with another beautiful dog that needed to be saved.  It is hard to imagine why someone would simply throw such precious God's creatures away, but luckily they are now safe, healing, and well taken care of at Second Chance Pet Rescue until they find a loving home.  Your 2018 Membership Pledge WILL make a difference in finding Dorothy a home and in the lives of the many, many animals that are relinquished or abandoned each day to our animal rescue shelter. 

Did you know that the average intake expense in 2017 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 2017, our animal rescue accepted 641 animals through our facility with a total of 387 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.
