A huge Thank You to Art in the Loft for hosting Pop Art Pet Portraits to help benefit our shelter! There was a great crowd that included a few of our volunteers. A fun night was had by all and the shelter received some much appreciated pet supplies as well as donations. 🐾💙 Thank you also to Go Fetch Pet Supply for the gift card donation for all the attendees. (We were having so much fun we forget to get pictures of the finished portraits 🤣)

Boone, Crockett, Luna & Aspen hope you will stop in to meet them this Saturday from 11-4. They are all fixed, microchipped, FeLV/FIV negative, have their rabies vaccinations AND have a whole lotta love to give! 🥰 All 4 found their way into our care through no fault of their own and deserve a second chance - could it be with you? All have sponsored adoption fees: Boone & Crockett - $100 for the pair; Luna or Aspen - $50 each.

UPDATE: Luna's adoption fee has been partially sponsored by one of our fabulous supporters who wants her to find the purrr-fect home - it's now $50 for a qualified adopter to give this sweetheart her second chance.
Luna would love to find her forever home and a warm couch to curl up on. She is a quiet beauty and we wish she could tell us her story. Found outside during the last cold snap, no one ever stepped forward to claim her. Luna is fixed, up to date on her rabies vaccination and microchipped. If you are looking for an absolutely lovely kitty, please contact us to arrange a meet up with Luna. 💕

WATZ Pet of the Week with Second Chance Animal Shelter, brought to you by Alpena Buick GMC!
Lovely Luna! This sweetheart was found outside during sub zero temperatures and was sadly never claimed by anyone. She is approximately 3 years old and definitely belonged to a family - she adores younger children who are gentle with her and loves to be near people. We truly wish she could tell us her story. She would do well with other animals given proper introductions, is already fixed, FeLV/FIV negative and up to date on her rabies.

Luna would love a forever home and a family to call her own - if you would like to meet her, contact Second Chance through their page, email [email protected] or call (989) 340-1700.

😺 Help us wish our Shelter Manager Tiffany a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! She has been an amazing addition to our shelter and we hope she has an amazing snowstorm Birthday Celebration! 🐾

02/16/2025

UPDATE: A wonderful supporter has sponsored part of their adoption if they are taken as a pair - only $100 adoption fee for the two of them! 🥰
Boone & Crockett are just a couple of good 'ol boys that would love to find their forever home! They are about 1 year old, already fixed, FeLV/FIV negative, microchipped and current on rabies vaccination. They are a pretty laid back pair and would love to go together, but could also go as a single. If you love a chonky kitty - Boone or Crockett is a match! If you would like to meet these two, stop in on Tuesday's from 11-1, Saturday's 11-4 or message our page to set up a meet.
