The mission of Second Chance Pet Rescue and Adoption is the prevention of cruelty to animals by establishing and maintaining a sanctuary which provides a safe environment for homeless and abandoned pets; to provide foster care for homeless and abandoned pets; to assist in placing such animals in safe, caring, permanent homes; to be an active participant in education and the humane and caring treatment of animals; and to celebrate the bond with companion animals.
Are you unable to adopt a dog right now but love having a dog?

It's really a 'win - win' situation for all!

 The McConnell Foundation granted Second Chance Pet Rescue $4500 for a storage/office building as part of it's commitment to help local organizations.
"Even though we use all the space in the shelter to our best ability, it is not ideal when trying to talk to people adopting a dog in the dog food prep area, only water source for water buckets and the only door to the outside area." says Debbie Eaglebarger, founder of Second Chance Pet Rescue and resident shelter care taker of the Corning Animal Shelter.

THE FLOODING NOW - BIG MESS!!
The water has receded for now, thank goodness!! What a mess was left though. The debris piled up against the fence, washed dirt away from the bottom of the fence making the play yard un-usable until the holes can be fixed. And yucky mud in all the dog houses and pens. All in all, we were lucky not to have lost any fencing that is on the cement where most of the dogs are housed in better times. The pens in the play yard got the worst of it and maybe can be fixed. Maybe, maybe not.

 From Getting Ready For The Big Storms to The Big Storms Are Here!!
Today, Wednesday, January 20, 2010, we had our first flood. And it came with a bang! After working the morning, I left at 11:30 a.m. and took pictures of the creek, which was just coming over the banks. 40 minutes later, Debbie called me and said we were flooded! The following pictures were before some nasty downpours that occurred later in the afternoon. The City of Corning was great in coming out with sand bags for the shelter doors and helping wherever they could.
