Second Chance Center for Animals’ mission is to provide opportunities for a quality life for homeless and companion animals placed in our care and to provide resources within our sphere of influence to encourage and enhance the human-animal bond. Through onsite services and the Plateauland Mobile Veterinary Clinic (PMVC), SCCA offers low-cost spay and neuter surgeries and vaccinations to the communities of northern Arizona. PMVC offers discounted animal care in rural and low-income areas where veterinary care is inaccessible due to location and/or cost.

Established in 2004 by the Robert T. Wilson Foundation, SCCA was created to supplement the efforts of spay, neuter and vaccination services offered via PMVC by housing, caring for and adopting out homeless animals. A multi-faceted effort was necessary to work toward solving the pet overpopulation problem in northern Arizona, and SCCA continues to provide low-cost clinic services as well as shelter for animals in effort to address this serious issue.
