Adopted two kittens and they are wonderful additions to our family. The adoption staff were very helpful, and the foster mom had done an excellent job in caring for and socializing the litter of kittens. Very thankful for Second Chance and all that they do for rescue dogs and cats.

Though it was several years ago I still have fond memories of the dog I adopted through Second Chance. I called our new addition to our family Trooper, Small Yorkie. Second Chance was amazing working with. It was a very pleasant experience with the adoption. Highly recommend.

I just came back home from Second Chance because our little 5yo who has special needs didnt get used to Binky and Nimbus! Unfortunately, we had to return them but we are heartbroken! They are really fantastic cats, Binky is super curious and Nimbus is sweet and loves a snuggle after he warms up to you. We are sponsoring them, we already paid for them so you just have to pay them a visit & caresses! They have to be adopted together

Very organized adoption agency with a strong vetting process. I was impressed. Their foster system works well too. Highly recommend using them

Had a wonderful experience here adopting an adorable cat!

Great organization and spectacular covid precautions. We have fostered on and off with them for 2008 after adopting our first 2 cats I. 2007. Only place I recommend!! Due to covid, staff/volunteers are slim, so applications may take a little longer to process and cat availability moves quickly. I dont expect my last 2 fosters to last the week, 2 were adopted today.

We are in the process of adopting this beautiful puppy. Shes amazing. I give the people at Second chance all the credit. They love and care for every animal at the shelter. If you want a pet, this is the place to go. Were over the moon. Great organization.

This place, these people, and these pets are all amazing! I had the opportunity to take a tour of the place, and I found it to be organized and all of the animals lovingly cared for! Second Chance has been an amazing partner with our charity (FWCAC), and I couldnt be more delighted to say good things about them!

I dont have any history with this agency however I have a very open space home and land. Home all day and love dogs. I would love to adopt however the adoption fee is too high.

Lovely clean place. All animals are kept in a safe environment. There was no bad smell anywhere. Very friendly and kind staff.

Adopting a cat from here, very excited. The staff seem very knowledgeable, and the cats seem happy

The people were very courteous and quick to serve me. They made a donation to our animal rescue which is called Street dogs and Stray cats.... We are nonprofit located in Selma North Carolina at the Selma Cotton Mill market. The folks at second chance pet adoption made a sizable donation of cat litter and cat food to help us with the hoarding case that we just took on.

My partner and I tried to adopt a dog from here and they turned us down because they wanted us to adopt two dogs instead.

Everyone was so pleasant and you could tell they loved the cats. I adopted Sabrina a couple of days ago and she is fitting in so well with my other cat. 😻 You can tell she was treated well and is a happy cat all together. Jessica was knowledge of the cats and very personable. Would recommend this shelter to any of my friends looking to add a fur baby to their family!

Great organization. Please dont shop. Adopt. And, donate when you can.

I adopted my amazing hound mix a couple weeks ago from Second Chance and highly recommend them! The full process from application to drop off took about one week; we loved how they had all of his vaccine and past veterinarian information to pass off. I also greatly appreciated how accurate and descriptive the dogs’ online profiles are. Second Chance truly tries to find the best owner for each animal based on their personality and needs.

Cindy did absolutely outstanding fostering the kittens we chose to adopt. The team as a whole made the adoption process great. The facility is well maintained, it really shows that they are engaged in the well being of the animals in their care.

Great mission! Best place to adopt from in the Triangle.

Great rescue. Excellent facility. Caring staff. Very active in the community to advocate for the group.

Do not adopt from the organization! The people here do not care about their volunteers and are more focused on their reputation rather than the safety of animals. Adopt from a different organization!

The staff were quick to respond to our request for adoption and checked our references right away. Our adoption went seamlessly. We had a nice meet and greet and learned all about our puppy who we took home that day. They gave us a great little going home package with food, blanket, and toys. Everyone there seemed happy to be there and the pets were well cared for. Would definitely recommend them!

Walked in to donate food, was able to hang out with some of the cats. All VERY well socialized and the areas they are kept are very clean, and very stimulating for the cats. I will for sure be looking for my next cats here. Great facility, very nice staff, and very good to the cats. Thank you, if there werent places like you these cats would not have the lives they do! 💜🐱

Super friendly staff that does a lot to help both the prospective adopters and the animals find their match! The facilities are nice and clean, too! I really enjoyed my visit there.

I understand there very busy. I put a call in a week ago and still havent received a return call. I also emailed them. I heard they were a great organization was my reason for calling.

I am so happy, I met them! They did everything they could to help me find an home for my buddy. I appreciate them, they are knowledgeable about pets and very nice. In a difficult time in my life, they gave me some hope. I had no other place to turn to find a home for my little guy . Second Chance Pet Adoptions are a blessing and I thank God for them.

Great local charity that rehomes cats and dogs. We fostered two dogs for them and they were a tremendous support. All of their donations go directly to the care of the animals. Caring staff, high impact of donations due to small operation. I try to help out whenever I can.

Very nice people. All they have is cats in this facility. If you want a dog you have to set an appointment up because all the dogs are in foster homes

No kill animal rescue. They have a kitty greeter, cats to visit, and dogs who are in foster homes...all waiting for a loving home. Second Chance is very appreciate of food and money donations. They also sell t-shirts, mugs, dog soap, sweat shirts, etc.

Used to volunteer here. The animals are so sweet. They will make sure animals get an amazing home with people who love them. It’s a no kill shelter

Some of the nicest and most knolagable animal ppl in the triangle

Great place, owner is incredibly nice and its obvious the animals are well cared for and loved. Would highly recommend adopting from here or just coming to visit/volunteer.

As a volunteer with Second Chance, I have gotten to know the employees and have seen first hand their love and dedication for the cats and dogs they rescue. The animals are given the medical attention they need, and care is taken to make sure illnesses such as URIs are not passed from one animal to another. All animals are treated with love and compassion. I had a wonderful experience when adopting my cat, which is what prompted me to become a volunteer in the first place. Its been nearly 2 years and my opinion has not changed. If you are looking for a dog or cat who will become a member of your family, please check out Second Chance.

Amazing place. I adopted a kitten. Super helpful and friendly staff.

Great staff and they took in the stray is caught but was unable to adopt myself due to extenuating circumstances. Please consider donating!

I looked at a number of different rescues for my new cat and Second Chance impressed me the most with their staff and facility. I am so happy with my new adoptee. Would recommend them to anyone serious about getting a new pet.

I did the online adoption application well over a week ago. Never heard back. Sent an email. Nothing. Left a telephone message. Nothing. No wonder why the shelter is full. I will go somewhere else.

Courteous staff. They let you come in and just spend time interacting with the animals even if youre not going to adopt. Free therapy.

WARNING: this is going to be long. I want to start this by saying that I don’t want to deter people from adopting from here because these beautiful animals all still need homes regardless of what happened. Enough time has passed that I’m finally writing this in hopes that this doesn’t happen to anyone else... our experience here was HORRIBLE. We were so excited going into this because we had read reviews and thought we were making the best choice. We had found a cat we really liked and I filled out an application for her. I gave it a couple days and I still hadn’t heard from anyone, so I tried to call. There is absolutely no option to talk to someone here. You leave a voicemail, and hope they get back to you. Which they didn’t. So I went in to their clinic and spoke with someone who was nice enough and mentioned that the cat I was looking at had already been adopted, but she’d reach out to the foster mom and see if we could arrange a time to meet so I could just come in on Saturday and pick up another kitty. I was disappointed but okay. It happens. I sent an email out to them about another kitten and again.... no one got back to me. So we decided we would just get there early for the Saturday adoption day and hopefully get there first for the one we wanted. (I figured that this would be the best way since no one answers here.) We got there an hour ahead of time, far before anyone else. We were led into the room of the other kitten we were interested in. Initially, going into this... we were interested in only getting one... but certainly not against bringing home two either. We voiced this and the foster mom left the room for a moment and shortly after, a worker came in and took us away and said we should look at others. Kind of surprised, we agreed to look at others but ultimately decided that the first kitten was the one. We loved his brother too, so we’d take both. Now all of the sudden we hear news that someone had made an appointment to come in and see them and we would have to wait to see if it THOSE people wanted him first! I made it clear that I had no idea that I could even make an appointment, and that if I did know, I would have done that. But how could I have done that when no one was answering me?! Not only that, but I’m here right now! They went on to tell me that two cats are expensive and a lot to take care of. Which I didn’t appreciate whatsoever. Me and my partner are well-off, so to make that assumption is uncalled for. We by no means look incapable either. So we brushed that off and they said they would contact me on Monday to tell me how it went... which they didn’t. I had someone else I know reach out to them inquire about the ones we wanted because we overall felt like they just didn’t want us to have the kittens... and they surely enough said that they were still available. Nice. Yet another bad taste in our mouth. I reached out to them after that and they said the appointment the kittens had went well. But they were all sick. So they’d have to regroup in a few weeks and reach out to everyone then. Surprise surprise.. they didn’t. We went somewhere else for our cat and it worked out for us. We love him to pieces and he’s absolutely spoiled rotten. So if you’re wondering why the kittens here sit for weeks upon weeks... this is why. SPCA were beyond pleasant to deal with as well by the way. Two stars because it’s not a kill shelter and some of the other foster moms were really nice.

They allow the best atmosphere for finding out compatibility to your new upcoming family member

Have never adopted from here, however I wanted to share a quick story of my experiences with the rescue... Over the winter in freezing weather, our neighborhood teamed up trying to catch a very old, arthritic dog who couldnt be touched because she was in a lot of pain and would try to bite. It was the weekend and our countys animal control wasnt working and wouldnt come out and get her. Somebody finally coaxed her into a cage and brought her to Second Chance where she got some medical treatment. Despite her microchip info being out of date, Second Chance somehow found her owners and reunited them, and we later learned this pup was 14 years old! In my experience, Second Chance goes above and beyond and cares so deeply about every single animal their comes into their care and would be a great organization to support.

I strongly suggest going here and adopting one of the cute animals. The people there were great and helping.

This place is truly wonderful. It is a great place to volunteer and adopt. The care they give the cats and dogs is unmatched.

Got my girl Harley Quinn from here. A wonderful group of people!

These guys are awesome!! I totally recommend this rescue to anyone!! We love our little Yuki!!

Really great and kind people over at Second Chance! They have nice volunteers helping out and working to rehome animals and keep them safe. Love helping contribute to a 2nd chance at family for these pets!

A great place to visit if you are looking to adopt a cat. They have dogs as well but most are in foster care; you could look at them on their website

I love this place!! They truly care about their animals and try really hard to find the right homes for them.

After looking at hundreds of pups from the many shelters in the area I found my forever friend at the shelter. My lady was from a large litter of pups. I applied as a foster parent and took her home ..it was a few months before she was old enough to be spayed and adopted. Over that time my older boxer and I fell in love with her. The people at the center were great during this process. They are helping so many animals to find their forever homes and give many hours to the animals they rescue from kill shelters. The staff is human and individuals can have good or bad days. When my pups brother died in foster care unexpectedly this group had all pups brought in immediately, so that medical checks could be performed and treatment by vets if warranted. I admire this group for their dedication to helping unite pets to new owners...

Second Chances is great! I got my Josie there and now I dont know where Id be without her!

Decent facilities, just be aware that they charge more money, maybe a good thing, bit they have no dogs at their facility, all are fostered, possibly a ➕! Definitely check them out online first.

Potential Adopters BEWARE. First impressions are powerful, and from the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed by a blatant rudeness and arrogance of staff; a wrongful bias and presumption; and an obvious reluctance on their part to even allow me to view the cats due to my one remark that I might let the cat out occasionally to play in the yard.The place was an absolute mess. There was paperwork and stacks of junk strewn throughout the rooms, messy litterboxes, dried out canned cat food lying out, and signs asking folks to let them know which cat had thrown up in the room while you were visiting because they couldnt figure it out. Yet, these folks had the presumptuous arrogance to assume that they could take better care of these cats than anyone else.

We adopted one of our dogs through Second Chance. It is a small organization that helps adopt out animals that have been rescued. Check it out!

Great agency to work with - whether adopting, fostering or volunteering to help out with kittens, cats, pups or dogs.

This pet rescue is very clean and friendly. The animals seem to be well looked after and happy.

Staff is friendly and professional, although our experience was marred by a surprising and unforeseen event. We had applied to adopt one of their dogs, and our application was accepted by the foster family. One day after we applied, we received a call saying the foster family was keeping the dog and subsequently we were no longer eligible (even for consideration). This was entirely unexpected, and ruined what could have been a great home for the dog (I work as a Veterinary Technician and have access to excellent medical care and facilities).A waiver should be given to the foster families of the adoption agency outlining the definition of foster, and removing them from eligibility. Otherwise it comes down to false advertising.If that was done, I would recommend this location. As it is now, I wont be using their services again, and would recommend with severe reservation.

Great place to volunteer if you need a kitten fix

Amazing, compassionate, and considerate animal rescue. They really care about the animals they rescue.

Great service and people. They were super nice when we were adopting.

Its a very impressive facility with very passionate care givers.

Dedicated staff and a great facility for visiting or adopting cats and dogs.
