Second Chance Animal Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to rescuing dogs from Missouri puppy mills. These dogs have spent their entire lives in filthy cages. They do not receive veterinary care or adequate food. They have limited human contact. Second Chance provides them with thorough vetting, social rehabilitation and places them in loving adoptive homes.

Second Chance Animal Rescues mission is to educate consumers of one simple fact -- that puppies sold from pet stores come from puppy mills. It also seeks to enroll volunteers to help with transports, fostering a dog and with financial help by sponsoring a dog or making a donation.

With the passage in November 2010 of the Missouri Puppy Mill Cruelty Act, thousands of puppy mill survivors will be released in the coming months. Second Chance Animal Rescue will bring as many dogs as possible to Connecticut and to other shelters across the country. In 2010, 50 mill dogs made the trip from Missouri to Connecticut All of them now have loving homes throughout New England. Another 1000 dogs were transported to the safety of rescues in other states.
