Celebrating 30 Years of Second Chances
In 2024, Second Chance Pets celebrates 30 years of giving second chances to dogs and cats in the Clear Lake area of Houston/Galveston Counties. Over the past three decades, we have rehomed approximately 8,000 animals. We've faced challenges like winter storms, hurricanes, pandemics, and floods, but we've always ensured our furry friends' safety and well-being.
Our Mission
Second Chance Pets, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, advocates for animals through responsible rescue, rehabilitation, and placement of cats and dogs. We aim to give every animal a loving, permanent home.
Our Community
We depend on dedicated foster families and volunteers who open their hearts and homes to needy animals. Our partnerships with organizations like Bay Area Pet Adoptions (BAPA) strengthen our efforts and expand our reach. We welcome everyone to volunteer with us. For safety reasons, volunteers under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
