OUR MISSION

TO provide temporary shelter to stray, abandoned, and surrendered animals for the purpose of finding permanent suitable new homes.
TO provide assistance and information to others whose purposes are consistent with the purpose of Second Chance Animal Shelter, Inc.
TO provide assistance and financial aid to prevent overpopulation through spaying and neutering programs.
TO support a healthy pet community and responsible animal husbandry by providing low or no cost general veterinary services to those unable to afford care for their pets and to animal control agencies, animal shelters and rescues, and to establish referral networks with local “for profit” Veterinary doctors and clinics to channel those who are unqualified for low or no cost services to the for profit entities and to channel those eligible for low or no cost services to SCAS.


OUR VISION

Second Chance will be a model shelter, addressing the issue of pet over-population by providing solutions through services and prevention through education. We will be the exemplary shelter for Central Massachusetts by executing exceptional business and service practices and providing a revolutionary model for the pet and shelter industry.
