01What it does

What A Second Chance Puppies and Kittens Rescue does

Mission

Devoted to saving pregnant and nursings dogs, cats and their offspring, keeping them in safe, healthy foster environments until they are adpoted by loving forever families while promoting animal welfare and the prevention of homeless animals by means of spay/neuter education and working towards the goal of a euthanasia free community.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. Rescued over 800 pets from euthanasia in shelters and placed in adoptive homes in 2024; placed pets into foster homes, provided medical care, spay and neuter, microchipping and vaccinations for all animals rescued. In 2023, we started the silver paw project to help older animals that need more medical care and often overlooked by other rescues due to the higher medical costs.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $66k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
