Donation recipient spotlight: Second Chance

We are so excited to announce our next donation special beneficiary is Second Chance of Columbia, MO. What they do is in their name, giving adoptable animals a second chance at a happy life with the right family. They are a privately-funded, all-volunteer organization dedicated to rehoming unwanted animals in mid-Missouri since 1985. They are the largest animal rescue group in the area and play matchmaker to more than 700 animals each year.

Adoptable animals find their way to Second Chance through various channels: some animals come from families who can no longer keep them, some are strays, and they also take in animals from partner shelters in the mid-Missouri area when they're tight on space. They are a no-kill organization and the animals in Second Chance's care wait patiently to find the right person or people to complete their family. Most adoptable animals at Second Chance live in foster homes in the area. Read more about what it's like to foster with one of Second Chance's dedicated volunteer foster moms.

During the third quarter of 2017, when you shop at petjunkie.com, you can feel good that your purchase is working towards the cause of helping Second Chance make families.

At Pet Junkie we are passionate about our pets and believe all adoptable companion animals deserve to be spoiled in a loving forever home. Part of our mission is to give back to our community of pet lovers by donating a portion of sales to nonprofit organizations committed to improving the lives of animals. Each quarter we will select a different nonprofit animal welfare organization to be the beneficiary of our donation special. If you'd like to recommend a group to be considered for future donations, please contact us.
