This little man was safely reunited with his family and was as happy to see them as they were to see him. We wanted to say thank you to those who took part in helping this senior boy make it home from the "finder" to the rescue friends and families who took the time to post, share, text and call....true rescue only works when people take interest (no matter how skewed some peoples opinions and intentions are). The reality is this, there will ALWAYS be people who form an opinion that is fast to judge without a PROPER and complete investigation. There will forever be people who use social media as a platform to be nasty, rude and are often completely wrong. Some of those people, many of them, fire off because they are passionate about their mission and well, that's just fine. BUT to those others, people don't bite off more than you can chew, because you don't know all you think you do and you may not know who you just took a potshot at and definitely don't render yourself an irrelevant fool because you pulled the trigger and missed or were wrong to have fired in the first place. THANKS AGAIN to the pack of peeps involved especially the new connects we made. It was great texting and talking we you and we look forward to working together in the future. Keep fighting the good fight and saving animal lives!!!! SUPER GLAD YOU MADE IT HOME SAFE AND SOUND RIGATONI

To ALL concerned about the “little white dog” found in Coram. Let me clarify for the overzealous bashers....The dog was found by MY friends father in law I was contacted as was other rescue people they knew because, well that’s what people do when they are looking for guidance. The dog has already been to the vet pictures are being taken and if necessary proper authorities will get involved. Additionally than that we had contacted Brookhaven animal shelter this morning and the dog will be headed there tomorrow after it finishes getting groomed. Nobody is going to look for their dog at a rescue if it has been lost, they are going to go to the animal shelter closest to them and they will also call or visit local veterinarians not rescues this is why we are not turning the dog over to any other rescue. People do not have to like that it is just the way that it is. If you think this is your dog or you think you know who’s dog it is I strongly suggest tomorrow afternoon you go to the Brookhaven animal shelter where it will be accompanied by some sort of proof to show that the animal actually belongs to you.
As far as whether we are a real rescue or not....just because we currently do not have a facility does not make us any less a “real” rescue organization. As many have had to do in the last year or so financially handling the burden of a facility was not in the cards. When we open back up I promise it will be posted. We have not lied about or withheld information about anything ever or to anyone and we are not doing that now. If you were unable to reach one of us it might simply have been we’re all at work today and do things other than the rescue I try very hard to get back to people when I can as soon as I can. I was sent two text messages with regard to the dog a little while ago and I both text messages were responded to with a phone call. I can appreciate everybody’s passion when it comes to animals and their safety and well-being but sometimes people need to chill out not everything is a scam not everybody is a liar and not everybody is up to no good. I hope that clarified peoples concerns.

It is with deep sadness we announce the passing of a wonderful dog named Charlie. Charlie was 1 of 54 dogs rescued June 9th 2010 during a SC SPCA raid that received national recognition due to the heinousness of the situation. SPCA worked in collaboration with Second Chance Wildlife Rescue to rescue and rehabilitate 54 dogs 15 cats, 2 horses and several other animals (goats, birds and rabbits). Thanks to the assistance of many other long island rescuces that stepped up with supplies came many local people who wanted to volunteer. Among those volunteers were the Silberer family. The girls fastly became loyal regulars that fell in love with a sweet highly energetic and athletic dog everyone called Charlie. It didn't take long for the girls to convince there parents that this dog NEEDED to be the next family pet. AND What a fit she was, and LOVED...WOW. After 10yrs of love and dedication and a battle with some back and hip issues it was sadly just her time and the family made the decision to say goodbye. We all know how much she LOVED you guys and you gave her the wonderful home she deserved.

A rescue that stole the hearts of many. Sugar Ray came to 2nd chance specifically for SCWR director Cathy's special touch. Anybody that knows Cath, knows full well that she has an incredibly good success rate bringing dogs back from the brink of starvation.
Anyone knee deep in the rescue business knows that we all, at some point, come across "that dog" . For Cathy it was Suggie. When he came to the rescue looking like he did, he immediately stole her heart with his one floppy ear and his soft beautiful eyes. That bag of bones literally was on death's door. There was no getting Suger away from her. 5 minutes after he got there the adoption was complete and he never made it to our availability list. After months of careful rehabilitation, he became her shadow and loyal companion...12 years later....the lovable, gentle and kind, flop eared pitty, passed in his sleep on his bed in his forever home with Cathy. WE ARE ALL TERRIBLY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS....Sugar Ray had a ruff start; but those first few years were erased by you and your love. You gave that mush ball a great 12 years!

A delayed thank you to some St.James residents who are passionate about the wildlife that has made their neighborhood home. Michelle recieved a call from a women whos family was concerned about a downed owl in their yard. You see she and her sister not only grew up a block away but their families are still neighbors with one another, as is a family of Great Horned Owls. Owls that they have watch from courtship to hatching to watching the owlets hop around the tree. Unfortunately sometimes first attempts at flight dont go so hot and this youngster, well he found himself a few blocks from home headed in the wrong direction trying to find his way back. So intervention became necessary.
After Michelle, a licensed NYS wildlife rehabilitator, responded to the call she was met by these terrific folks and shown where their owl friend was. She was able to safely get the few month old owl and give him a once over to make sure he had no obvious physical injuries that could have attributed to him being downed. Looking healthy but being unable to return the owl to the tree which was "home" (due to restrictions getting on the property and the amount of daytime yard activity) we opted to do the next best thing. Keep him safe. So we took him back to SCWR until just before sunset when we knew it would be prime owl time to reconnect him with his family. He was carefully placed in the tree right next door to his home (as we still didnt have access to the property for which he lived). And within hours his parent owl came to him and "talked" him threw getting from that tree, over the fence, to the roof, then his tree and by next day he climbed his way back to his sibling.
Tabs have been kept on he and his feathered family by his human friends at street level and a drive by or 2 by rehabbers. We do what we do because of our passion for wildlife so it's always a treat to meet people who love and appreciated Long Island's wildlife. THANK YOU TO AN AWESOME BUNCH. That's a lucky owl fam to have you all watching over them. Enjoy them! They are amazing beautiful birds!

People have asked if our affiliates at Farmingville Feed are grooming...the answer is no. The feed and supply portion of the store is opened, that is essential. Grooming is not. They do have a list that you can get your name on and as soon as the shop is up and running for grooming customers Liz will give you a call. We suggest you sit outside and take a brush to those fur babies enjoy the beautiful weather and your furry friends will enjoy the extra TLC by their moms and dads and we will get back to prettying them up for you as soon as it is safe to do so xoxo
