THANKFUL THURSDAY ❤️

Remember the kitty we rescued in the parking lot at New Berlin Brewing Company? He got adopted!! Berlin, now Sauerkraut (or Kraut), is doing well and is getting along well with his other siblings Pork, Beans, and Tazmania. We are so grateful to his family for giving him a wonderful forever home! ❤️ 🐾

Today Alyna went to Humble Creatures for her check up - she looked so much better, they almost didn’t recognize her! She has had 3 antibiotics so far and will be started on one more. Although she has made HUGE improvements, she still has some congestion. Dr Carter said that she may have chronic upper respiratory issues. This does not slow Alyna down. She is so happy and so loving. Her favorite thing to do is rub on her foster parents and get snuggles and she especially loves to purr. She is now grooming herself! Her coat is white and her fur is soft!! The transformation that Alyna has made over the last month is incredible. ❤️
Alyna will soon be ready for adoption. If you are interested in making her a part of your family, you must understand that she may never be fully cured of her congestion. We hope potential adopters can get past that and see the beauty and strength in this 12 year old cat. Her faith in humanity has been restored and she has endless love to give.
If you are interested in learning more about Alyna, and making her a part of your family, please fill out the application below. We will continue to monitor her over the next 2 weeks while she is still on antibiotics. Her foster family will also continue to spoil her ❤️

Hello, Everyone -

My name is Kreme. 🐶 My family no longer wanted me. They said they were 'too busy' and didn't have time for me. 😢 I am a happy, active and playful dog. I enjoy walks. I am one of the best 'shadows' you will ever meet - I follow my family everywhere. I'm also a good listener. I work very hard at following directions. I want my family to be proud of me. 💕

I am very curious about cats. My foster family isn't sure it is a good idea to introduce me to cats. Since I've been known to chase squirrels, rabbits and birds, they believe that I will chase cats, too. I get very anxious when I see a cat so my foster family keeps me separated from the felines in the house.

I have been around other dogs in the past so there is a possibility that I could have a
sibling one day. That would be nice.

I'm very grateful that my foster family offered a place for me to stay. Had they not welcomed me into their home, I would be sitting in the Summit County Dog Pound right now.
😢

Medical Information:

*Spayed
*Rabies vaccine
*Vaccines x1
*Flea Prevention

*Age: 3 years

I have a sweet disposition and I will love you to pieces . . . to the moon and back.❣️

Love,

Second Chance for Animals would like to give a well-deserved shout out to the JAGS students at Jackson High School. The Jackson Academy of Global Studies, (JAGS), is a four year globally focused academy where students learn real world skills through a rigorous curriculum that includes interdisciplinary problem-based learning, cultural awareness, community collaboration, service learning, leadership opportunities, business partnerships, world language immersion and educationally-based travel. JAGS students must successfully complete a JAGS four year course plan, 80 hours of community service, a portfolio and a capstone project. Upon completion of the JAGS curriculum, students receive a Certificate of Global Studies from Jackson High School and from The International Studies School Network.

As part of the community service component of the JAGS curriculum, JAGS students selected various community non-profit organizations
to promote, assist and to advocate the mission of each group.

We were honored to learn that Second Chance for Animals was one of the non-profit groups JAGS chose to champion. The students collected donations for Second Chance…. they even mowed yards to raise money for us!! They created a Power Point spotlighting some of our animals up for adoption.

Their Community Service Project culminated with an event held on Thursday evening, 11-13-25, where students displayed their projects, shared their experiences and celebrated their hard work . . . all to a full house of attendees.

We would like to thank the JAGS students and their teachers for fostering passion, empathy and philanthropy, and for their commitment to making their community a better place for all.

Hello, Everyone -

TGIF! 🎉

This is Joe Jonas. Yes, I'm still here . . .

Last Sunday a nice family stopped by to meet me. I was so excited - they even bought a stuffed animal for me. ❣️ I was hopeful that I had finally found my family. Sadly, I never heard from them. I love the stuffed animal they gave to me, though. I sleep with it every night. 🙂

So, back to PetSmart I go!
My weekend plans are always so predictable,
aren't they? -
PetSmart!
PetSmart!
PetSmart!

Tomorrow, Saturday, Nov. 15th, I will be at PetSmart on Dressler Road, from
10:30-1:00. I am bringing some new puppy friends with me. Ryder will be back, along with
newcomers, Maverick, Bandit and Stormy,
(Stormy -the only girl).

Since I am older than the other puppies, I'll be sure to keep them all in line!

Joe Jonas - 7 months

The other puppies - 3 months

I hope to see you, tomorrow, at PetSmart on
Dressler Road. It should be a fun time!

Your friend, Joe Jonas 🐾

Our Story

We operate solely on donations and volunteer efforts. And, yes, it is a challenge. Do we euthanize animals we cannot place? NO! Absolutely not! The fact is, there is no animal that we can't place. Animals with disabilities or with chronic behavioral problems remain in foster care indefinitely. Fortunately, these cases are rare. Where are these animals housed? After being inoculated and given a clean bill of health, every animal is kept in a family environment. Of course, accommodations are limited, but foster homes provide a clean, safe environment where pets are handled frequently, responsibly and lovingly. Typically, they thrive under these conditions, making socialization and assimilation into a new home overwhelmingly successful. Do we take unwanted pets? Typically, no. While needy animals often come in multiples, new homes are carefully chosen...one at a time. Our facilities are usually full of rescues, but we will take photographs and basic information about your pet. Many people are very specific about the animal they wish to adopt. Your pet may be exactly what someone is seeking and we will assist in any way we can.
