Second Chance Animal Rescue New Mexico, Inc., is a grass roots group that began work in early 2007 and focuses on saving abused and homeless animals and readying them for adoption to loving, forever homes. They are all volunteer and all foster-based (they don't have a facility) and their foster homes help the dogs adjust to living with people and other pets. Second Chance dogs are fully vetted (spayed/neutered, microchipped and current on vaccines) and adoptive families are carefully screened. They do many of our adoptions off our website http://www.secondchancenm.petfinder.com/ and other adoptive families are found at our adoption events (held at different venues in Albuquerque and Corrales). They try very hard to recruit new foster families; they really make the difference in how many dogs they can help at a time!

Their dedicated volunteer group believes that every dog deserves a second or third or fourth chance at a healthy, happy life. They tend to be drawn to the saddest cases: the dogs in protective custody at animal services for months on end, the dogs rescued from lives on the end of a chain - even if the chain has to be surgically removed; the dogs who are hit by cars and their owners can't be bothered claiming them and saving their lives; the situations they have rescued dogs from are vast and sad. Their goal is to also be involved in legislation and education to better the lives of the animals in our community. They have trainers who offer free training courses to our adopters and fosters.

Their funds come from their adoption fees (which range from $125 to $250) and donations. They have a couple of continuous fundraisers: they collect inactive cell phones which can be turned in to be refurbished (and they send them $) and their donation boxes which we have in several locations around town. They hold yard sales several times a year and welcome donations for the yard sales. For more information on adopting or fostering, and donating your used cell phones please contact secondchancenm@yahoo.com.
