Second Chance Animal Rescue Society - Alberta A world where all animals are valued and treated with compassion, where no animal is left behind.
(120)

SCARS takes in companion animals that are homeless or slated for euthanasia. We collect unowned or unwanted pets from remote area dog pounds and veterinary clinics that act as the pound. We also take in abandoned pets, many of which are sick or injured. Every animal is given medical assessment and any treatment it requires. We spay/neuter, vaccinate & microchip every animal that comes into our car

e. SCARS actively works within northern Alberta, particularly First Nations and Métis communities, to promote responsible companion animal guardianship. This includes providing spaying and neutering, vaccinations, micro-chipping and pet shelters. SCARS acknowledges that we are on Indigenous land in Treaty 6 territory. Land occupied, travelled, and cared for by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. SCARS operates within the traditional meeting ground, gathering place, and travelling route of the Nêhiyawak (Cree), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Niitsitapi (Blackfoot), Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux.

Nope, you aren't seeing double.

Nope, the Team here at SCARS hasn't reposted old news.

My name is Roman, and we are 99% sure that I am Cargo's brother.
Came from the same municipal pound.
Look the same age, size, and have the same features.
Same nasty Demodex infection.

Once again, SCARS acted quickly and got me to veterinary care, just like they did for my brother. Thank goodness my recovery has started. My skin is in worse shape, but I came in a week later. Demodex can explode quickly, so a week can make a big difference.

Like my brother, I am receiving great care. Treatment for the mites, calming baths, medicines for the discomfort, and secondary infections. I am getting treats, delicious meals, and soft blankets to sleep on. I can't wait to get a foster home and for you to see my transformation.

Just so darn grateful and happy to be part of the SCARS family. Wags.

Let's have one more call for great submissions for the SCARS 2025 calendar!

We would love to see your SCARS animals living life to the fullest in our amazing summer weather! Are they enjoying the sunshine "helping" out in the flower bed, or soaking up the best sunbeam in the house? How about a good swim in the river, or hiking with the family? You don't have to limit your pictures to the summer sunshine - we love seeing all your beautiful pictures in all our Alberta seasons. Snowy days... Autumn leaves crunching under paws... Cat trees in the window...

Do you think you have some great photos to submit? Of course you do! If they are in landscape format, (that is longer than they are tall), send them to [email protected]. For submission in the selection for the 2025 calendar, please have your picture sent by: August 25, 2024. We can't wait to see them!

Hi, my name's Beatrice! 😻

Just look at my face! Is that not the cutest, roundest, baby-face you've ever seen? 🥰 And that little white triangle on my nose is just adorable. 😘

My cute looks are matched by my sweet personality. ❤️ I'm a friendly girl, who enjoys naps, being petted, gazing out of windows, and playing with toys. 👍 I get along well with the other foster kitty in my home and would likely be OK sharing my forever home with other pets. 😸Gentle kids shouldn't be a problem either, once we get familiar with each other. 👧

I'm a pro at all the kitty jobs:
✅ Eating
✅ Using the litter box
✅ Using the scratching post

If you'd like to meet me, please submit an application today! 📝

Hi, my name is Barbie! 👋

I am a lovely girl with tons of energy and would love to have a home that is quite active. ⚡️I am always looking to my fosters for guidance, I aim to please them! ☺️

I am a very smart girl and I am catching on rather quickly. 💨 I would do well in a home with a confident older male dog, as I can be female dog selective. 🐕

Thunder here, or as my foster mom likes to call me "Thunder Butt” - I think it's cuz my tail makes a lot of noise when I get excited. 🤩

I'm a big loveable guy, with the most expressive eyes. 😘 My favorite place to be is with my people or four-legged foster sister and if it includes a car ride that's a bonus! 🙌

I'm a bit of a couch potato but don't let that fool you, I still need and cherish walks. 😉 I'm good on leash but I like to follow my nose and take in all the smells around the neighborhood. 👃

I'm a big guy who loves people, big and small, and other dogs but just because of my size I'd probably do better is a house with older children. 👦🏻

I'm looking for a family that is excited to spend quality time with me, teach me new tricks and take me on adventures with them, is that you? 🫵

I am Siamese if you please ! I am Siamese if you don’t please! 🎶

My name is Carly and I’m in a foster home now and thriving. 😻 I’m great with other cats and becoming more social each day. 🫶 I’m super sweet once I warm up to you. 🥰

One on one time and pets is the way to make friends with me. 👌 I love treats and wet food so I’m fast to come around but shy to start off is all. 🫣 I’m good at using my litter box and don’t scratch the furniture. 👍

I’m looking for my forever home so if you’re looking for a sweet girl that loves pets and hanging on the sofa please pick me. ❤️

Meet Adoptable Broker

Hi I am a goofy, sweet, and curious boy who loves to be snuggled by my people. I love my foster parents along with the resident dogs and cats. I just love being around others.

My foster mom thinks I would need to be supervised around smaller kids and I would be better suited to a home with older kids. I’m an exuberant and jumpy boy who just wants to shower you with love. I jump and lick and sometimes nip. I’m still working on my manners and quickly learning the do’s and don’t s.

I absolutely love playing outdoors I would also like to go to a home with another dog who can show me the ropes. I do my business outside too.

With patience and guidance I will be the best boy I can be. I can’t wait to find my forever home. I’d love to meet you!

I am Adoptable Derk. I’ve been in care for over 1040 days as well. 😔😔

I'm just so excited to me here!

I was not taken care of very well before coming to SCARS. Looks like my collar had grown into my neck leaving a pretty good scar.

I was so dirty that even a bath was not getting it all out.

I'm a very friendly guy. I'm very excitable.

I would love an active home with NO other animals

Adoptable Ringo

Been in care for over 1040 days… can you believe it?

I am a 6yr old pitty cross.

My foster mom says that so far I've enjoyed meeting new people, walk great on a leash, house trained and love food.

I don't seem to have an interest in other dogs but I have scars all over my face so I'm sure I have stories to tell.

I would like a home with no male dogs and NO cats.

I'm a fairly chill guy, like to relax and really love to just hang out with my person.

Anyone out there looking for a handsome boy?

Hi, my name is Flo.

I am a sweet, fluffy, Golden, girl looking for a family to love me back. My favourite hobbies are walking, giving hugs and sitting close for cuddles. Since I had my puppies,

I've been looking for a home of my own.

I am super good in the house, not eating your furniture or shoes, asking to go outside and sleeping in my kennel at night. Of course your bed would be an acceptable sleeping choice, and your couch would be my preference for our cuddle time. I am content to sit at your feet, if couches are not an option at your house. I play well with other dogs but need proper introductions.

I get nervous when I'm approached in a "free for all" like at a dog park.

I have been cat tested and did well.

I have not lived with cats that we know of, though.

If we see some bunnies on a walk, I will ask you in my most convincing voice if we can please chase them. I would be good with older kids, but the young ones might be a bit much for me.

I love my people and I gently jump up to give hugs to remind them of our shared love of walks and cuddles. My vaccinations are up to date, and I'm very healthy.

If you think I'd be a good addition to your family, please press Adopt Me, and fill out an application.

Hello! My name is Smudge. 😻

I am a bit shy but I love cuddles. 🤗 Something fun about me is that I have no tail! But that doesn't slow me down. 😼 I'm just like any other kitty looking for my forever home. I get along with my siblings but I'm weary of other kitties I don't recognize. 🙀 With a proper introduction I should do well with other cats. I’m litter box trained and should do well with kids! 👍

Do you have a spot in your home and heart for me? I’d love to meet you! 🫶

Our Story

The Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) is a registered charity that is primarily volunteer operated. We are based out of Athabasca and Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

SCARS helps communities by taking in dogs and cats that are unwanted or slated for euthanasia. We collect pets from remote area pounds and veterinary clinics that act as the pound. We also take in stray or abandoned pets, many of them are sick or injured. Every animal is given a veterinary and behavioural assessment and any medical care or rehabilitation it needs. We spay/neuter, vaccinate & microchip every animal that comes into our care. We have been in operation as a charity since 2003. We find loving homes for more than 1,000 pets every year.

Reducing pet overpopulation is also a big part of what we do. SCARS actively works within northern Alberta, particularly in First Nations and Métis communities, to promote responsible companion animal guardianship. Our Spay-Neuter-Return program provides spaying and neutering, vaccination and micro-chipping for owned pets, and our Walls 4 Winter program provides those who participate in SNR with an insulated pet shelter.
