They will come into your community and steal your animals and act like they didn’t do anything wrong. Forget about trying to get them to give them back. Worse than PETA

Questions & Answers

My small Jack Russel Terrier passed away last fall and I have a small kennel and a pet bed to donate. I also have a bag of dog toys (in perfect shape). Will these be acceptable for donation?

They love volunteers! Give Second Chance a call and ask them. They can be reached 919-851-8404. The office opens at 11:00 most days.

Would you take one of my cats? I can make a monthly donation for him until he meets his new owner. Thanks.

You would need to contact Second Chance directly. I am just an individual who periodically donates food.

Our German Shepherd Dog, Jack, went to the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday after 15+ years of being our best friend. He had some arthritis and we treated that with Galliprant 100mg from our Vet. We have about 2 months supply left do you want them?

We are so sorry to hear about your loss! We would gladly take any medication you would like to donate! We are open Mon-Fri 11am-5pm, please stop by any time!

I am looking for a support dog. I have had a dog all my life up until my Benjamin passed away about 7 years. Do you have any medium size, any breed, male or female? No small dogs,please. I walk alot.

Jessica Story-Johnson | Sep 21, 2021

You can probably head to their website and take a look through the dogs!

Ashleigh Crawford | Sep 22, 2019

Go to www.secondchancenc.org. Under their contacts section there's a dog surrender form to fill out. If need to get in touch with someone directly, there's a list of contact information, location, and shelter hours. Hopefully talking to someone directly from the shelter will help you. Best of luck.

My precious dog passed away recently. I have dog beds, dog food and treats etc. that i would like to donate. Also, do you use volunteers?

Rita Bair | Sep 22, 2019
debby Temmermand | Sep 22, 2019

Second Chance will gladly accept any donations that you have. We also always need volunteers at the shelter, dog walkers, cat care shifts, foster homes for dogs, whatever you feel comfortable with. I am so sorry for the loss of your fur baby.

I have one Australian shepherd mix, I'm new to the area still looking for work and a place to live. Its very hard to go to work bc i cant bring him. Anyone willing to foster a nice dog?

Shane Myers | Feb 23, 2022
Rachel Cronmiller | Feb 23, 2022

Hi Shane. Second Chance does not provide fostering services for owned dogs, only for homeless dogs who are awaiting adoption. Hope that helps!

Will you take an open bag of Iams lamb/rice dog food? Asking for a neighbor who lost her dog recently.

Annette Gee-Monahan | Dec 25, 2021
Hannah Allison | Dec 25, 2021

Hi Annette! Yes, we will. Feel free to drop it off at the adoption center any time Monday-Friday between 11 AM and 5 PM. :)

I will be calling first thing tomorrow, but in the meantime, does anyone know if they're at capacity right now?

Ana Arias | Nov 25, 2021
Christyne Stubenhofer | Nov 25, 2021

Ana. I was there last week and I heard them say to someone, who had cats, that they were at capacity. That may have changed since then.

Jennifer Srivastava | Nov 25, 2021
debby Temmermand | Nov 25, 2021

Yes, that would be fine. If no one is there you can leave the items outside the volunteer door. Thank you.

Do you have puppies and are they potty trained

Kellie Muzeau | Sep 21, 2021
K Wang | Sep 21, 2021

Check with the staff, they are very helpful. Selection will vary from time to time but they usually do have some puppies.

We are looking to rehome 4 BOERBOELS. Three 2yr old males, & their 4 yr old mother. They are very lovable, smart pets. We can no longer care for them. Can you please help?

Annie Baker | Sep 21, 2021
Hannah Allison | Sep 21, 2021

Hi Annie! You can submit a dog surrender application to see if they have room in their program to help. If they cannot, they will do their best to provide you with other resources! https://www.secondchancenc.org/contact-us/stray-dog-request-form/

Do you get charged to foster here? Do you get the “going home package” with the animals you foster?

Tynise Triplett | Sep 21, 2021
Malia Jarrett | Sep 21, 2021

When I fostered, there was not a fee. They are grateful for people opening their homes to these awesome rescues. They provide all items, meds, and food necessary to care for the fosters. You are required to provide updates on all animals, transfer them to and from the center for vet checkups and bring them to adoption events. This is an amazing group to work with. I highly recommend.

Do you have puppies

Second Chance Pet Adoptions | Sep 21, 2021

Hi! Yes, we do have puppies in our program. You can take a look on our website to see currently adoptable puppies (www.secondchancenc.org), or you can submit a dog application form stating that you are interested in puppies. Our dog coordinators will be able to match you with the perfect dog for you! https://www.secondchancenc.org/adopt-a-pet/dog-adoption-application/

i have a bag of cat food and a few cans of food and a couple of bowls....are you taking donations?

Jacqueline Hall | Sep 21, 2020
Second Chance Pet Adoptions | Sep 21, 2020

Hi Jacqueline! We are currently accepting donations via contact-less drop-off. Feel free to leave your donations outside of our door Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thank you so much!

Do you have puppies for adoption? And will they become big?

Juan Ramos | Sep 21, 2020
Second Chance Pet Adoptions | Sep 21, 2020

Hi Juan, Thank you for contacting us! Any dogs we have who are currently available for adoption will be located in our adoption gallery on our website. https://www.secondchancenc.org/adopt-a-pet/ At this moment, it does not look like we have any puppies. We recommend checking our website often and if you do find that there is a dog you are interested in, please fill out the adoption application. One thing to keep in mind is that most of the dogs we have are of mixed breed, so we cannot accurately predict exactly how big a puppy might get. Please let us know if you have any additional questions. :) Best Wishes, Second Chance Pet Adoptions

I'm 17 years old and I'm not sure if I could volunteer here but I would love to help other animals. I have a furr baby of my own and I wanted to help other dogs get a home just like any other that deserve a loving family.

Rayna Rowell | Sep 21, 2020

Yes - you can go to the Second Chance home page, click Volunteer and then New Volunteer Application to apply to be a volunteer.

theresa Williams | Sep 21, 2020
Karen Hall | Sep 21, 2020

Please don't consider taking him to the Animal Shelter for they would put him down. I would hate to see that happen. I would first go onto the websites and see if someone would care for sweet, loving pup. Then call some Gets, they can be a huge help. I hope these suggestions can get you started in the right direction. I am Sorry you can't take your baby pup with you, I know this breaks your heart.

Anyone know where there are any Guinea pig shelters near by.

I have two Chihuahuas that I live dearly but I'm in process of relocating n as you know it's hard to find petfriendly homes. Can my dogs be fostered until I get a place Idon't want yo

Toni Scott | Sep 22, 2019
Karen Hall | Sep 22, 2019

I would call and ask who could foster your little ones until you get settled. There are fosters out there, actually my neighbor fosters Beagles through an organization. I honestly don't remember the name. I wish you well. Good luck.

I have a friend that had a black male kitten dropped in her yard. Due to her health and her 2 cats not liking the kitten she is hopping for someone to take it. Can you help out?

Joyce Graham | Sep 22, 2019
Karen Hall | Sep 22, 2019

I had the very same thing happen approx. A month ago. These 2 were so precious, it broke my heart to think someone could do such a thing. Call all agencies, friends,etc. Get the word out. There are good people out there.

I don't volunteer but Second Chance has a web site with the pets up for adoption.

At a gardening business.Part of the land is a preserve&has two ponds built by the EPA.6months ago, a mama cat found a place to have her kittens. We did not see them until they were Ferrell. Now she just had another litter need advice and resources!

Angela Oas | Sep 22, 2018
Melissa Eller | Sep 22, 2018

I don't volunteer at Second Chance but suggest you give them a call. There are organizations that will do trap & release. They spay/neuter, give shots & check up. They may be able to foster or have to return them to the "wild". It will prevent more unwanted kitties. If you see a snipped left ear, that is a sign they have already been fixed. Obviously this isn't your case. If Second Chance can't assist, please contact Wake County SPCA.

do you guys have hypoallergenic dogs? i really want a dog but my sister is allergic to them. my family can't afford buying a hypoallergenic dog, so i've been asking adoption places around my area to see if they have any.
