About NYC
Second Chance Rescue:
NYC Second
Chance Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
established in 2009. With the help of a community of
donors and supporters, the Charity has saved over 14,000
lives from an unimaginable fate. NYC Second Chance
Rescue concentrates its efforts on large breed dogs and
animals in need of critical life-saving care. These two
criteria make up most of the euthanasias in the United
States. Nine out of ten animals that enter NYC Second
Chance Rescue were once set to be euthanized at a
municipal shelter.
NYC Second Chance Rescue provides all levels of medical
care and a healing and safe sanctuary for all pets
through our foster care system and our Rescue Center. We
do not discriminate on age, size, breed, or medical
needs. We have a soft spot for pit-bulls, seniors, and
hospice patients. We also love our community and believe
that families should not be pulled apart because of
financial restraints. The Charity offers free food and
critical medical care for families running on hard
times. These programs help keep families together and
beloved pets out of the shelter system.
