"A rescued dog has only one request to all humankind. Love me."
Help us stop the violence and make 2008 our best year yet~

Second Chance Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3 tax exempt organization that was established on February 14, 2000 in an effort to rescue, rehabilitate, and locate homes for abandoned dogs found on the streets of Puerto Rico. We provide each rescued dog with the necessary medical treatment to return the dog to good health, while at the same time reaching out to numerous shelters and other private entities, both within the island of Puerto Rico and in the Continental United States, to locate loving homes for each dog. From its inception, Second Chance Animal Rescue has rescued thousands of dogs.

In an effort to create awareness of our mission, we have focused on the education of the treatment of animals, including cruelty to animals, the importance of spaying and neutering dogs, as well as the overall benefits of having a dog as a family companion.

We are extremely proud of the efforts made by Second Chance Animal Rescue. To date, we are rehabilitating and maintaining over ninety (90) loving dogs in our shelter, which operates exclusively from financial donations made by private citizens and corporate sponsors. In addition, we have a group of volunteers, which assist the shelter in its daily operations. Without the above-mentioned assistance, we would be unable to achieve our mission. For information on providing assistance to our shelter, please go to our donations page.

Thank you for visiting with us here at Second Chance Animal Rescue. We have dogs of all shapes and sizes just waiting for loving homes. Please feel free to browse our adoption list. These special dogs are in desperate need of a second chance at life... they deserve it.

Together, we can make a difference!
