Second Chance Pet Rescue Receives Donations from Monkey Islanders

Monkey Islanders Peggy Howard and Patty Davis are just two of a group of Monkey Island residents that  recently made a BIG difference for Second Chance Pet Rescue of Grand Lake.  Our animal care facility is always in need of so many basic necessities just to keep the place running.  So Second Chance Pet Rescue was thrilled to receive several trailers full of these much needed "Wish List" supplies. 

Through different fundraising projects throughout the year, Monkey Island residents raise money for various community projects.  In past years, they have purchased Christmas toys for low-income children, or provided educational assistance for those in need, or provide help to others if a potential Monkey Island disaster should happen.  This time the residents chose to assist Second Chance Pet Rescue with fulfilling some of their daily basic needs to operate the shelter.  Monkey Islanders purchased 21 bags each of dog and cat food, 42 bags of cat litter, stacks of paper supplies, and gallons of cleaning supplies for delivery to the shelter. 

Kim Nelson, Shelter Manger, was thrilled when the deliveries were made.  "We couldn't do what we do for the animals we care for without the caring and kindness of wonderful people in our Grand Lake communities.  We thank them all in advance for their compassion for the animals who find themselves in our shelter due to no fault of their own.  We at Second Chance Pet Rescue try to give all our animals the best care and much love while they wait for a home of their own."

People are always asking ways to help our animal shelter.  Click on our "Wish List" available via our website at www.doitforthepets.com or contact the shelter at 918-786-7630 to inquire what basic necessities are needed.  Wish List donations may also be dropped off at our Second Chance Thrift Shop, 220 E. 3rd Street, and volunteers will deliver the supplies to the shelter.  Also, if you order items online - use Amazon.Smile and a percentage of the purchase will be made to Second Chance Pet Rescue - you can have them shipped directly to the shelter location at 64301 E. 290 Road, Grove, OK.

Our shelter is a 501(c)(3) life-saving, non-profit animal rescue organization.  As we rely entirely on financial donations to continue our mission to save lives of homeless animals, a tax-deductible donation is always greatly appreciated as well.  Mail your check to P.O.
