Second Chance Welcomes New Sponsors, Former Sponsors Renew Promises to Animals

AKC Reunite, Glover Corp, Dogtopia of Raleigh, Care First, BottleMixx
Second Chance Pet Adoptions has two new partners in rescue: Glover Corporation and AKC Reunite. Glover is Second Chance’s Gold Paw sponsor, while AKC Reunite is our newest Silver Paw sponsor.

 

If you live and work in the Raleigh area, you’ve probably heard of a third-generation printing company: Glover Corporation…but you might not know all that Glover can do. Glover can meet all your printing and large and small custom signage needs, and they also make an astonishing array of 3D and promotional products. From tap handles to flight trays, to other machined and dimensional custom-designed products, there’s a new motto in town: if you can put it on a wall, a floor, or a door, think Glover.

 

We also welcome on board AKC Reunite. AKC Reunite provides pet microchips and lost pet recovery service with no annual fees. AKC Reunite is committed to finding the way home for lost pets. If your pet’s collar breaks or its collar tag falls off or becomes hard to read, a microchip permanently identifies your pet to help your pet get back to you if it’s lost or stolen. We use AKC Reunite microchips for Second Chance pets, initiating a lifelong relationship between AKC Reunite and our adopters. Their services are simply essential!

 

Speaking of long-term relationships, all of the sponsors we welcomed last spring have renewed their sponsorships for 2017-2018! We are thrilled to continue our work with Dogtopia of North Raleigh, BottleMixx, and Care First Animal Hospital, all of which are Platinum Paw sponsors. These businesses not only support us with sponsorships, but also with fostering, fundraising, and medical care–all of which are critical and essential components of our animals’ care.

 

Our capacity to rescue animals and give them the best life possible would be diminished without the support of our sponsors, and we are grateful that they have invested in our rescue work. Together, we’re working toward the day when every cat and every dog has a loving home.

Snickers Goes Home

BREAKING NEWS: Snickers is GOING HOME!

Snickers Goes Home

Talk about ending “Adopt a Shelter Cat” Month with a bang, eh?! Six-year-old Snickers has been with us since October 2015. Anyone who has ever met him will tell you that he is the SWEETEST angel–but he also has glaucoma, something that has worried some potential adopters. Krissy and her husband aren’t daunted, though, and they figure he is the perfect guy to bring together the female kitties in their home like their last sweet boy did, so off he goes to meet his new sisters! CONGRATS, Snickers!

Second Chance Receives Kongs from Petfinder Foundation

Please help us give a big THANK YOU to the Petfinder Foundation for awarding us a Kong product grant! They sent 10 Kongs our way to enrich our dogs’ lives, challenge their minds, and relieve any stress and anxiety they might feel as they transition into our program and into family life. This gal, Mia, is a dog we rescued a couple of weeks ago. Her leg was severely injured–we believe she was probably hit by a car. In an effort to save her leg, we’ve put a rod in her leg that constricts her mobility. Because she struggles to accept other dogs, she’s not a good candidate for a foster home, so she gets to hang with the staff all day… but as busy as we are, it’s not the most fun a dog can have and she can get a little bored. Treats in a Kong = a big deal to Mia right now! We’re glad to have this supply for her, the other dogs in our program, and many more to come! Thank you, Petfinder Foundation, for the generous gift and helping our dogs! (Note: Mia is not adoptable yet and will probably be with us for a couple of months, but if you’re interested in her, keep your eye on our adoptable dogs.)
