We are open to the public Wednesday through Sunday 11 AM – 5:30 PM.

We adopt on a first-come, first-served basis. We don’t allow pet holds.

Our adoption fees vary depending on the age of the pet.

  • $200 puppies under 6 months old
  • $100 adult dogs
  • $50 seniors (7 years and up)


Cats:

  • $100 kittens under 6 months old

All pets adopted from Second Chance are microchipped, spayed or neutered, and will have age-appropriate vaccinations.

Be prepared to bring your new pet home.

All adopted dogs will need a collar and leash. We have them available to purchase, or you can bring your own. ID tags are also available.

Cats will need a carrier to go home with you.
