Why do we do what we do?
Because they matter!

Second Chance Rescue

Since 2009, we has been serving the animal and shelter communities. Second Chance Rescue NYC is a 501(c)3 foster-based charitable organization. We are advocates, rescuers, and educators. Our mission is to reduce animal overpopulation in shelters, rescue and rehabilitate critically injured and neglected animals, and connect the community to services that enable animals to stay in their homes.

Urgent!

We need adopters and fosters!

We have several dogs available for adoption. Many are still waiting for a foster parent to open their home and help them decompress, learn the basics, and give them a cozy bed and first-ever best friend.
