Columbia Second Chance
Charity Event: Paws in Park
Columbia
Second Chance was founded in 1985 as a privately-funded, all-volunteer organization
dedicated to "seeking first-class homes for second-hand pets." Through
the kindness of our volunteers and our foster homes, we care for animals of
all types, 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 have been made homeless through the acts or omissions
of people; to provide this care for each animal while researching and approving
permanent adoptive homes; to 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 and to promote the goals and gains
of this mission.
