All proceeds from Paws in the Park support Second Chance, now in its 30th year of saving lives. Through the kindness of our volunteers and our foster homes, we care for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens, either on a temporary basis while we search for a new, permanent home, or on a long-term basis while the animal is treated for illness or injury. Our mission is to provide for the benevolent relief of unwanted animals. The organization will provide food, shelter, medical assistance, and general relief to those animals that are homeless while researching and approving permanent adoptive homes. Additionally, we educate the public regarding the health, exercise, and general needs of these animals, as well as to the necessity of spaying and neutering as a means of alleviating the burden of unwanted animals, and to do every act as may be necessary to aid and assist the community in providing quality, permanent homes for these animals.
