Each year, thousands of animals are abandoned and must be euthanized throughout Northern California due to lack of shelter space from pet overpopulation. Since 1993, Hopalong and Second Chance Animal Rescue has rescued, fostered, spayed/neutered, and placed thousands of companion animals.

    

In the last 16 years, we have found homes for over 16,000 homeless and ill animals.  Each story is different and many are heart-breaking, but in every case there is a common thread: an animal that deserves a second chance at life and a permanent, loving home.
