SECOND CHANCE ANIMAL RESCUE

unknown

I found the listing for him on Friday of Labor Day weekend.  I called and they were very courteous and got me through to the foster home right away.  We met and brought him home that same night.
My experience was great and I would definitely recommend Second Chance Rescue.

I have adopted two dogs from Second Chance over the past five years.  The animals are listed on their website with full details on their temperament, medical condition, and any background if known.  I was carefully phone-screened and then passed to the foster of the dogs, who again screened me and we set up an appointment for me to meet the dog at her home.  Everyone was very honest and upfront about what they did and did not know about the animals I adopted.  You could tell they were very concerned about it being a good match and they had provided excellent care for the dogs.  The adoption fees were very reasonable.  This is an excellent organization from which to adopt a dog or cat.

Our adoption experience with Second Chance was wonderful.  Our call was returned very promptly after we left a message inquiring about the dog.  The first person we talked to screened us by asking us many questions about our home and life style; she also answered many of our questions about the dog.  In addition to answering our questions, she gave us tips about bring a dog into our home.  
We were then given the number of the foster home where our dog was living.  The foster mom was amazing.  She answered all our questions and let us come and see the dog that day.  When we were able to meet the dog and take the dog for a walk at the foster home.  We feel in love! :-)  The adoption process was very easy (2 forms) and we were able to take her home.  The price was very low ($200) and she already had all of her shots and was spayed.  The price also included a free vet visit, so we could get her checked out one more time.  
Our dog has been such a wonderful addition to our family.  She is very sweet.  She was already potty trained and knew the command sit, so it has been really easy having her in the house.  She is healthy and full of energy.  She loves going for walk, but also loves to cuddle on the coach.  The positive energy she adds to our home is remarkable.  We are so happy we found her and want to thank all the people at Second Chance for making the process so easy and for taking such good care of her until we adopted her.  We feel extremely lucky and blessed to have our dog in our life and are so thankful for organizations like Second Chance!
If you are considering getting a new pet, please look into adoption.  I definitely recommend Second Chance.

I met with the foster family and went to a local adoption day, it was a comfortable and easy process.  I almost gave them a B for price, but it does cost a lot of money to get these animals from the streets to homes healthy and happy. I don't think their price is much different than other rescues.  If you are looking to adopt a rescue animal is such a great choice.  I have adopted from the Humane society and had a good experience; but Second Chance uses foster families who can really evaluate the dog and make sure that it is a good fit for both parties.

Second Chance Animal Rescue works out of a Petco which is where I was able to get my dog.  I feel that they were excellent.

I found the cat online, called the number given and left a message.  Nancy called me back promptly, and gave me information about how to meet the cat.  I contacted the foster home myself and arranged a meeting.  They were very nice and let me know how the cat was in their home.  During the visit, I played with, held, petted the cat, and observed her in her environment.  We then sat down and filled out the paperwork, I wrote the check, I was given the health records and other information, and was on my way with my new kitty.  Nancy called a few times to check in on how things were going.  We had no problems acclimating the cat to our home. 
The only issue I had was that Nancy, in the name of "educating" adoptive owners, gives a lot of information and advice, including brands of cat food to avoid, what type of food dishes not to use, and what vaccinations not to allow your vet to administer, all based on her own anecdotal experience, which seemed to undermine one's own experience and relationship with a veterinarian.  As a veteran cat owner, I felt as if I was being lectured by the "crazy cat lady." It seemed like the foster parents were a little scared of her too... But, on the whole, this was an easy way to choose a cat without the cat having to suffer a caged existence.  Bravo to cat foster parents!

Very positive. The person who had boarded the cat I purchased was on-site and knew all about her mannerisms, temperament, preferences and personality. She walked through the store with me and pointed out food, litter, toys, etc. that the cat was used to. The adoption representative was thorough in going through all the paperwork to ensure I understood everything. The cat had all her vaccinations up-to-date and had been spayed. She's a great fit with my older cat. I am very pleased.
