I'm surprised not to find Second Chance on Yelp! We adopted our two girls from them and they were…read moreextremely diligent on following up for confirmation of spaying (which is so crucial) and the foster homes they use for their animals are top notch (my sister in law is neighbors with one so I've witnessed first hand). I couldn't be happier with Second Chance and highly recommend anyone looking to adopt a cat (they occasionally have dogs but not on the norm) contact them.

I would give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could…read more The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about the animals. The animals are clearly well cared for, and the adoption fee includes a lot, such as microchipping and keeping the animals up to date on their medical care. They are also happy to answer questions and provide advice, both before and after adoption. If you're considering a special-needs pet or aren't sure what type of pet would be the best fit, they'll take the time to explain the responsibilities involved and help you make an informed decision. What really sets this shelter apart is that they take the time to get to know potential adopters and make sure each adoption is a good fit for both the animal and the family. Their focus is on responsible placement and the well-being of the pets, not superficial factors. I especially appreciate that they don't judge a person's ability to provide a loving home based on their social media presence. Too often, some organizations seem to equate online popularity with being a good pet owner, but those things have little to do with one another. In fact, the amount of time someone spends building a social media following says nothing about the care, attention, and commitment they'll give a pet. This shelter evaluates people based on what truly matters: their ability and willingness to provide a safe, stable, and loving home. I adopted two kittens from them about a year and a half ago. One grew into a gentle giant, while the other stayed petite. A few weeks ago, I returned and adopted a large 3-year-old cat as a companion for my gentle giant. The adoption process was just as positive the second time around. I highly recommend this shelter to anyone considering adopting, donating, or volunteering. They are doing great work and truly have the animals' best interests at heart.

We were able to set up a time to meet the dog (each time) quickly even though I have a an irregular schedule. They took the time to make sure we knew what would be required in caring for the dogs as well as visiting our home to ensure it would be a safe and appropriate place for a pet to live. In each adoption they were very helpful and informative, never seemed bothered by my endless questions and continue to be in touch with us for updates and questions. I highly recommend viewing their adoptable dogs online or attending one of their events if you are thinking about adding a meme we to your family .

They use a stepping stone method from inhale to home. The pups start in a triage shelter to ensure the dogs are healthy through vet visits, stabilize the pups after any transit, and to get to know the intricacies of the individual characteristics of the new arrivals. They use this information to pair up the dogs with foster homes, helping the pups learn how to live in a caring environment and structured routines. This helps prepare the dogs for success at the next step which is adoption. Some dogs are so well adapted to the new surroundings that they can skip ahead in the process but others need time to decompress from the trauma they experienced. Again, this places has a mission to help dogs find their perfect home. Feel free to volunteer with the organization as I do, sign up as a foster, or even adopt a new family member. You will enjoy it and appreciate this place.

I am super disappointed in this place. First off let me start off by saying I fell in love with…read morethis place when me and my two dogs starting going there. I have a 1 year old lab and a 1 year old retriever. Every time they stayed, which was often, and even over night tbeh always came back with great report cards. I have recommended so many people to this place because they took great care of my dogs. Well recently I brought them on a rainy day so they can have some fun. When I arrived it was all new faces. I get a phone call about 5 hours later say my Duke, bit another dog. First off let me tell you about duke. He is a chocolate lab. He has never bit a human or a dog before. We go to the dog park almost every day. Strangers take toys out of his mouth and he never reacts. He is great at the vet and even plays with teacup dogs! So when I heard he bit another dog, I thought " do they have the right dog" I instantly rushed over to pick him up. I know my dogs I've had him since he was born. I asked to see the video tap (thinking they had cameras inside) of what happened. Cuz as the owner of the dog who "attacked" I'm pretty sure I have the right! She told me theh can no show me. Which is bullshit. She told me that duke is not ever allowed back! Did the dog have to go to the er? No. Was the dog bleeding? No. I smell BS. If my dog lets other dogs eat and drink from his bowls no way be bit another dog for NO reason. She also had the nerve to tell me " duke is just to excited to be here. It's not a good fit" oh really? Soo dogs shouldn't be excited to go to day care? What a joke. I have a feeling they have new workers so maybe we're intimated by a 85 pound dog. I work down the street at a hair salon from this day care. I will now spread the word. So sad because my dogs loved it there. I even would get pics of them always playing with other dogs. But yea my dog is mean. Hahahah I bet I can't the video because some one there fucked up.

The name Happy Pet Place is a misnomer!…read more When we first started using them, the very curt owner left me questioning why I was using them, but we reluctantly took our 2 small dogs there for grooming, for several months. Not once did the dogs come back with the grooming I requested. Each time the dogs came home, they were both highly stressed. The last visit took 6 hrs before I was called to pick them up. When I brought my Morkie in for grooming today, I learned why her legs and feet had been very little grooming done. The owner very curtly informed me, that she was very fussy and they will not "force" a dog to be groomed.....I was stunned. The previous groomer we had been using, for over 5 ys (unfortunately the groomer retired) had no problem is grooming her legs and feet. I was told to find another groomer if I wanted her legs and feet groomed. I was also informed that I could not reschedule our second dog because there was not sufficient notice...I explained that she just became ill before I came in. Didn't matter. Obviously the warm reception finally made me finally decide that I would not let my dogs go anywhere near this "Happy Place"again. NEVER have we experienced such an unhappy, unfriendly place to do business with. I have no idea how they stay in business.

The fees are very fair and many rescues charge a lot more for an adoption of a healthy spayed/neutered dog who has been in foster care in most cases.

Since I know Second City Canine Rescue actually cares about their placements, I will absolutely adopt through them again.
