Incredible Animals do come out of this shelter and I loved what they stood for. Adopt but do not work for this company. Youre justified complaints will be ignored or explained away repeatedly. You will never be paid what you're worth regulardless of how hard you work. Even if you get wonderful reviews and pour your heart into the job until it has driven you past compassion fatigue, you'll probably get fired before something would change. It's cheaper to hire a new person than give a good worker a livable wage.

Questions & Answers

Can you bring dogs there and drop them off that need a good home?

Amber Cheatham | Oct 12, 2018
StarStar HoneyBud | Oct 12, 2018

Yes always call first. If they are already spayed or neutered then that can help get them in somewhere. If you are not already a member join Nextdoor dot com The Norman community is thriving on there. ☺

I have a dog that has not been neutered yet and is about 7 months old, who seemed really sweet when we got him, but has growled and nipped at my 3yr old and myself, wanting to find a place for him.

Cameron W | Oct 12, 2018
Maribob Lee | Oct 12, 2018

You can take him to the Norman Animal Shelter and it will accept him for free. Second Chance does not accept drop off animals. If you have any medical history on the dog, take it with you to the Norman Animal Shelter. Given his age, he's more likely to be adopted than an older dog. (However, the older animals can be real sweetie pies. Just depends on the animal.) But start at the Norman Animal Shelter, NOT at Second Chance. Best of luck to you and the doggie.

My Schnauzer passed away about 2 months ago and I have some dry and wet dog food I would like to donate. The dry food has been opened but it's not old and some of wet food is for kidney care. Would you all accept this?

Thank you so much for thinking of us. We are very sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved friend. We would 100% appreciate the gesture as we bring in all different animals into our program from all different stages of life and those items would greatly help. For a tax receipt, please visit us Wednesday to Sunday from 12PM to 5PM and we'll get you all setup.

I got a dog from the Midwest city shelter a little while back and I've been trying to re home her but haven't had any luck. Can I bring her in so she can be adopted?

The shelter does not take animals from the public. 2nd Chance rescues from shelters only. Maybe Four Starr's has help in the other comments

I'm not sure. I believe they only pull from local shelters. If you can contact Cheryl Melton on Facebook or Hands Helping Paws or Safe Haven they may be able to help you. Good luck ☺

Been on the phone for 20 minutes trying to get an answer but nobody picks up the phone. How am I suppose to know if we can bring by our two cats.

Try contacting Hands Helping Paws or Safe Haven rescues. They are on Facebook and Google. Please update once you find a place to take them. ☺

Hi i found a pitt weenie out in the street but i cant keep her without getting evicted would this facility rake her ?

F C | Oct 12, 2018
Maribob Lee | Oct 12, 2018

No. Second Chance goes to local public animal shelters to pick animals to adopt. (My cat came from Second Chance but was found by SC through the Paul's Valley Animal Shelter.) Take your found animal immediately to Norman Animal Shelter South of Highway 9 on either Jenkins or Chattaqua. Google "Norman Animal Shelter" for a phone number and directions. They are in a new building and have a great facility. Take her on Thursday because they close at 5 p.m. and will need to check her over for a chip, fleas, diseases, etc. I don't whether they are open on weekends or their hours, so try to get there during the weekday. Norman is to have record breaking cold this week and no dog should be outside. Norman's is a no-kill shelter now, so do the doggie a favor and get her there ASAP. Take her there immediately so she'll be taken care of physically and emotionally. The cold that is predicted can kill short-haired dogs. Hope this helps. They are good people and will help the dog. Promise.

Can a 12 year old Volunteer here?

Jaydrian Paiyne | Oct 12, 2018
Ajay Carrizales | Oct 12, 2018

A child must be 16 to volunteer here and must have a parent or guardian present at all times. They may volunteer on their own at 18 -S.C.A.S. Staff

Is this a good place to surrender a dog? Neutered and shots are up to date.

Ma'Lecia Cook | Oct 5, 2022

Do you accept donations of unopened bags of dog food?

Connie Root | Mar 15, 2022
Second Chance Animal Sanctuary | Mar 15, 2022

Absolutely! Thank you for thinking of us! Our facility is 100% donation based.

We’d like to adopt a puppy, but need to make sure it will get along with our 2 older dogs and our 1 yr old cat. If it doesn’t look like it’d be a good match, we’re willing to foster the pup until it can be adopted into a forever home.

Kyle Godsey | Dec 15, 2021
Marsha Dean | Dec 15, 2021

I adopted my 2 dogs from there. They're very nice and they do behavioral tests on all dogs so I highly recommend Second Chance Animal Sanctuary! They spay/neuter every animal, heartworm test them, vaccinate them, and microchip them! Definitely check them out!

I have a pit bull that woundered up to my house. I need to know if you can take him or what I need to do.?

Jane McCalla | Oct 11, 2021
Carole Green | Oct 11, 2021

First you should see if the dog has a chip. Almost any vet will check that out for free. If you take him to the animal shelter they'll put him to sleep because he's a pitbull fire pit bull mix. There are Pitbull rescues out there just look him up online if pit bull rescue

Second Chance Animal Sanctuary | Oct 11, 2021

Dogs over 6months of age. and cats have a $140 adoption fee. Puppies under 6 months of age have a $170 adoption fee.

Do they have pet mice needing a second chance?

Michael and Sonja Gordon | Oct 11, 2020
G | Oct 11, 2020

No. Cats and dogs only

You call frist and ask if they have room

Keylee Thomas | Oct 12, 2019
G | Oct 12, 2019

They do not take pets directly. They rescue from shelters.

I recently replaced my towels. Do you all need mismatched towels? And the rest of a box of pee pads that my dog no longer needs?

it's grrrace | Oct 12, 2019
G | Oct 12, 2019

That would be terrific! Bring them on in.

Do they take in parakeets?

Kynzley Byrd | Oct 12, 2019
Aaron Cross | Oct 12, 2019

Yeah but then they charge ridiculous prices to adopt...why not go to the county pet rescue to begin with

Puppies should have their first shots at around six weeks of age. They finish weaning between six and eight weeks. Are you surrendering the mother too?

DEBBIE CHANDLER | Oct 12, 2019

Most shelters have a listing and pictures of all adoptable fur babies...

If your dog has been picked up by the pound do they drop them off here?

JJ Love | Oct 12, 2019
Shane Robbins | Oct 12, 2019

You should call animal control or the police department to find out.

If looking to adopt into a home with one furbaby already, are you allowed to bring in your current furbaby to see if the dogs will be compatible?

annie hickerson | Oct 12, 2018
Sunni Bailey | Oct 12, 2018

Yes. They make you do that with dogs before you adopt. But, not cats.

I'm looking for a small female puppy that will stay pretty small I lost my Pekingese Sadi May awhile back from old age I really need the companionship again I would really like a free one

Patty Wilson | Oct 12, 2018
Shereen Mo | Oct 12, 2018

Lol I'm sure everyone would like a free dog but at second chance you have to pay adoption fee. It covers micro chip, vaccines and spay or neuter. Also the shelter sometimes has small dogs, you can check there as well but second chance really is a great place and adopting from them helps a lot of animals.

I have an 8 year old cat I brought in off the streets. He's sweet, neutered, and back to good health but my complex doesn't allow animals... How do I surrender a pet? Is there a formality I have to go through? Is it as simple as dropping him off?

Dominick Johnson | Oct 12, 2018
Maribob Lee | Oct 12, 2018

Take him to the Norman Animal Shelter that is south of Hwy. 9 and either Jenkins or Chatauqua. If you have any medical records, take those also so that a new owner will have his history. The folks at the Norman Shelter are very helpful and will do all they can to find him a new home. You don't have to pay money to surrender him, but if you can take some medical documents, and spend a few minutes talking with staff about his personality and social history, I think your kitty will have a much better chance of getting a good home. Adopting parents want to know as much as possible about a new pet, and you will be the only one who can give that information. Thank you for taking him to the Norman Shelter and not just dumping him, as too many people do.

Is there anyways I could possibly apply for a job here? This would be my 1st job but I have a lot of experience with animals.

augustus blankenship | Oct 12, 2018
SANTA CLAUS | Oct 12, 2018

Firstly call and ask if they are accepting applications. Working at second chance depends on animal experience, indurence, and high communication abilities

Even if I am not adopting, can I come in and play with the animals to give them some extra love?

Maya Peot | Oct 12, 2018
Maribob Lee | Oct 12, 2018

Yes. The staff would love it if you'd like to volunteer in socializing the youngest animals. Second Chance is big on hand sanitation so as to not cross-contaminate germs. I'm not sure what you j mean by "play", but the animals always need human contact. The Second Chance folks are very nice, so give them a call.
