🐾 Kitten Season is Here – Help Us Prevent Overpopulation! 🐾

Spring has arrived, and with it comes kitten season—a time when shelters and rescues like us are flooded with litters of homeless kittens. While kittens are adorable, the sad reality is that many end up in overcrowded shelters, struggling to find homes.

The best way to help? Spay and neuter your pets! Fixing cats prevents unwanted litters, reduces stray populations, and keeps more kittens from suffering on the streets. If you’re feeding outdoor cats, please reach out about TNR (trap-neuter-return) programs—they make a huge difference!

We’re gearing up to save as many kittens as possible, but we need your help. Spay, neuter, adopt, foster, donate, and spread the word! Every action counts. ❤️

Yesterday, we got word of some puppies that had been dumped in a more rural area near Columbia. We were asked if we could help, and were quickly able to round up a foster for the evening and a more permanent setup with a wonderful foster home skilled in puppy raising!

These poor pups were found at the end of a driveway in a cooler with the lid shut. 💔 Had the finders not shown up when they did, they likely would have suffocated. The puppies were dirty, thirsty and crying. The wonderful finders got them taken care of until we could take them in.

While we hate for this kind of thing to ever happen, we are thankful for a wonderful community that helped us swiftly help these adorable pups.

With puppy and kitten season fast approaching, we ask for your support by making a donation to help us feed, care for, and vet all of the animals coming in. Please consider donating, and if you cant, fostering or volunteering!

And please, spay and neuter your pets!

These pups are still very young, but will be available for adoption in a few weeks after they are old enough and have been vetted. We believe they are lab/pyrenees and will be BIG!

PS: Coleman U.S.A., want to sponsor some puppies? 😁

Meet Luka!

This sweet boy enjoys spending time outside and going on long walks. He loves rough housing with his foster sister and playing with all the toys! Luka is crate trained, house trained and has never chewed anything he isn't supposed to. However, he is a bit of an escape artist and will dart out the door if given the opportunity!

This young boy has not had the easiest time. After coming into Second Chance's care, Luka was diagnosed with heartworms. This has meant painful injections and lots and lots of crate rest. Luka has been such a trooper and is recovering wonderfully.

Luka is looking for a family to help him make up lost time! Please apply today! (Homes with comfrey green chairs preferred) ☺️

Because we can't help but share more amazing pics by Junebug Photography, here's Attic!

Attic is a sweet and gentle boy who is gaining confidence every day. He has done well meeting other cats and enjoys their company. While he’s a bit reserved at first, the sound of a treat bag quickly brings him out of his shell. Attic is litter box trained and loves exploring his environment. Attic is a loving and curious companion ready to brighten his forever home!

Have you ever wanted a fox, but your housing doesn't allow for one? Then Charlie is the one for you! He's a dog but has the looks of a fox...so it may be easy to get through the HOA.

Charlie is full of life and love! He enjoys running in the yard, chasing toys, and wrestling with the other dogs in the home. Once he is finally worn out, he is the best cuddler!

He is doing well with house training and crate training- only being out of the shelter for a few days, he's new at the home life. He's a smart pup, who is eager to please you and will excel at learning how to be a good boy!

Apply now to get your very own good boy!

It’s Monday! Time to rise and grind! ☕️💪

Happy International Women’s Day to all of the strong, devoted ladies who help keep our organization running! 💪🏽 Second Chance would not exist without you! Thank you!

It’s Dog Treat Appreciation Day! Our dogs are treat tasters, cookie connoisseurs, edible experts, and all looking for their own biscuit dispensers- we mean humans! 🍪🍪🍪

We are seeking foster homes who are extra special! Unicorn fosters, if you will. 🦄 What is a Unicorn Foster? It is a foster home who can house dogs or cats with specific behavioral or medical needs. Sometimes this means they don’t have other pets or have experience with medical issues. Unicorn foster homes with Second Chance will receive special incentives like gift cards, SC Swag by earning points for every task, milestone or requirement you they meet! 🌈 We need a Unicorn Foster right now! Peanut is urgently needing a unicorn foster home(or adopter)! His current foster will not be able to house him after 1/31 and Peanut will end up in boarding, which is not a long term solution for him. Peanut would love a home with adults only and no cats. No other dogs would be best, but with an experienced handler he can be integrated with other large dogs slowly. If you would like more information on Peanut or the unicorn foster program, email [email protected] or head to our website to apply: https://www.columbia2ndchance.org/foster

One of our favorite sayings at Second Chance is "Just give it a few days". Shadow Moon is an FIV+ kitty that has been living at our adoption center for over a year and a half. He is fearful, shy and swats at everyone there. He generally does not make himself very attractive to most people who come by to meet cats. Due to the recent electrical issues, he had to move to foster care along with all the other cats. One brave foster offered up a room in their house for him, knowing that he may not want any interaction during his "vacation". Despite his very best efforts at deterring her, she persisted in trying to be his friend. And wouldn't you know it, a couple of weeks later we had a new cat! Some times all it takes is a little time, someone willing to "just give it a few days", and maybe some good treats too. Shadow Moon is still looking for his forever home with someone who might be willing to give him the time he needs to settle in and show just how sweet he is. If that may be you, please head to our website to apply! In the mean time, he has earned himself an extended stay away from the adoption center in foster care. columbia2ndchance.org

Why give during the holidays? It's really simple. Chip has important shopping to do. Now is a great time to give the dogs and cats waiting for homes a chance to have a great Christmas. While we hope they all find homes by then, we can at least help make it a great holiday season. Give now and help us grant Chip's (and many others) wish come true. ❤️ https://www.comogives.com/donate/Columbia-Second-Chance

It’s trivia time! 🎉

We find ourselves once again with puppies and no mama. Sadly, the mom of this crew was hit and did not make it. We now have 7 tiny mouths to feed! If you are able, please consider purchasing a can of formula for them, or make a donation towards their care. They may be small, but they eat a ton! Meanwhile, enjoy some potato puppy naps. ❤️ Our Amazon Wishlist: https://a.co/7Sq0Bau Our Chewy Wishlist: https://www.chewy.com/g/columbia-second-chance_b78019031#wish-list&wishlistsortby=AVAILABILITY Venmo: @SecondChance85
