We sent Dylan out to get spayed when SJ & Marisa from Second Chance Animal Rescue dropped by MAD Wednesday to chat with Dean and tell us all about this fantastic volunteer organisation.

Second Chance Animal Rescue was founded in 2008 after Marisa witnessed firsthand how many beautiful animals needed help, versus how little resources were available.

Thanks to this team of foster carers and volunteers, Second Chance Animal Rescue realised that by the end of 2015 over 6000 animals had been rescued from not-so-pleasant fates in pounds and shelters throughout Victoria, and are now happily settled in new homes around the state.

They are now creating the SCAR Animal Hospital, Hume’s first non-profit animal hospital, offering pet owners affordable/free health care for their animals as part of Pick my Project. with all proceeds will go towards Second Chance Animal Rescue to support homeless animals in the community.

But they need you to vote for them so they they can get the funding to build the hospital, which will have a huge emphasis on pet ownership education and health care and offer medical treatments ranging from routine vaccinations and health checks, to diagnostics and special surgeries. Offering customised training programs to the community, never turn away a sick animal and help keep pets in family homes by ensuring that any pet owner can afford healthcare for their animal.

They are also on the hunt for poster animals to be the face of the Community Animal Hospital, could your pet be the super star they are after?

Entries are open Australia wide and winners will receive a supply of pet food from Hill’s Pet Nutrition, a goody bag from Second Chance Animal Rescue and also receive the digital images from our professional photo shoot of their pet. Winning animals will also star in all marketing for the Hospital as well as the big Community Animal Hospital sign out front.
