Second Chance Animal Rescue

Second Chance Animal Rescue was founded in 1979. Here you will find a brief account written by our chairman, George Long, for the 25th-anniversary edition of our newsletter. Describing the events of the last 25 years is actually very difficult. Giving a brief account, a list of names and dates would be so dull that that no-one would bother to read it. A full account would be book-length and no-one would have time to read it. In a quarter of a century, there have been so many individuals and changes that it is impossible to give all of them the recognition they deserve; but there are some constants that have not changed! The rigid belief that no healthy animal should be killed because it is cheaper to kill it than to keep it alive. The conviction that, given time, a good home will be found for animals in our care and that, until it is found, we will provide a secure and comfortable home. The last, and most important, constant, is the loyalty and dedication of our supporters who give unstintingly their time and money so that we may all realise our shared belief that animals deserve a second chance at life.
