Strut Your Mutt
(508) 867-5525 or email
We need you to help us to help more pets! Second Chance Animal Shelter helps over 10,000 pets a year through adoption, spay/neuter, wellness clinics, training, educational outreach, and a pet food pantry.

Together, we can save the lives of homeless pets. Every day, more than 9,000 pets are killed in America's shelters simply because they don't have a home. Each one an individual. Each one a valued life worth saving. 9,000. That number should be zero. And it can be.

Please join our virtual walk at Strut Your Mutt.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 for medical equipment to help more pets live better lives.

Best Friends Animal Society,Second Chance Animal Shelter and other No More Homeless Pets "Network partner"), are joining together to bring that number to zero. We are participating in Strut Your Mutt to raise money that will go directly back into my community to be used to fund adoption programs and spay/neuter services, ultimately impacting the number of pets entering and leaving the shelters.

Please support our efforts in the 2013 Strut Your Mutt by donating to this page or join the virtual walk by creating your own page as part of our Dog Pack. Your donation is tax-deductible and our organization keeps all monies raised (after transaction fees), including registration fees. Together, we can bring about a time of No More Homeless Pets®

Thank you for your support.
