Our Mission
Second Chance Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3 tax exempt organization 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 the U.S. to locate loving homes for each dog. From inception, Second Chance Animal Rescue has helped thousands of homeless dogs and with your support, the number will only continue to grow.
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 sixty loving dogs in our shelter, which operates exclusively from financial donations made by private citizens and corporate sponsors. In addition, we have an amazing group of state side volunteers, which assist us in locating forever homes. Without the their assistance, we would be unable to achieve our mission. For information on providing assistance to our shelter, please go to our donations page. In addition, we are in desperate need of island volunteers... any island help would be greatly appreciated.
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 Pet List for our list of rescues that are currently available for adoption. These amazing dogs are in desperate need of a second chance at life... they deserve it.
Together, we can make a difference!
