About Second Chance Rescue Inc

In 2009, NYC Second Chance Rescue was founded on the fundamental principle that every animal matters. We believe that all animals, regardless of breed, age, or medical needs, deserve to be treated with compassion and dignity. This belief system has driven us to save over 17,000 lives. Our core mission is to decrease euthanasia rates and provide assistance to overwhelmed shelter systems through education, community outreach, and compassionate care in New York State and beyond. We are dedicated to ending the unnecessary suffering of animals and working towards a better future by reducing animal overpopulation in shelters, rescuing and rehabilitating critically injured and neglected companion animals, addressing discrimination against specific breeds, and connecting the community to services that help pets remain in their homes. We are a united force of rescuers, advocates, and educators committed to creating a brighter future for all animals in need
