Our Mission
To provide homeless animals with a second chance at life and companionship in a no-kill shelter. Our organization goes beyond shelter walls and is committed to
1) Positive people and animal
relationships and placements
2) Offering affordable spay, neuter
and vaccination clinics
3) Cooperative rescue efforts
4) Animal welfare education
An enthusiastic group of animal lovers saw a need for a no-kill safe haven for cats, and a new all-volunteer organization was formed to fill a huge void in Littleton and the surrounding area. The Second Chance Animal Rescue was created by caring individuals with over 50 years of combined service in the animal rescue field.
Thanks to a lot of hard work and a lot of generous supporters, our doors are open! We have bright, open areas with lots of windows, and we're full of cute and friendly cats and kittens looking for a place to call home.

Volunteers Needed
The shelter is open six days a week, and we need help. Can you spare a few hours a week on a regular schedule, to work with the animals? We especially need morning kennel cleaners. Or do you have a professional service or talent you'd like to offer? Or maybe you can help occasionally at fundraisers, or man a booth at the Farmers Market?
These are just a few of the ways you can volunteer. Start by filling out an application.

QUILT RAFFLE
Littleton Quilt Guild has donated a beautiful handmade quilt to Second Chance for a raffle. What a prize! You have to see and feel this quilt. It is a queen size or 90" x 90". This will become a family heirloom for the winner!
Tickets are $2 each or 3 for $5. Stop by the Shelter to purchase a bunch, or pick some up at our next event.
PET FOOD DRIVE
"No Empty Bowls"
To ensure that our community's pets never go hungry, Second Chance is collecting dry and canned food for cats and dogs. Many seniors and families are struggling in these tough economic times, and too often it's their pets who go without.
Drop off your pet food donation at the shelter Monday through Saturday, noon to 3pm.
Donated pet food will be distributed by the All Saints Episcopal Church Food Pantry in Littleton, NH.
Donate one bag, or take a big step and organize a neighborhood drive, or work with your child's classroom teacher and start collecting.
SHOEBOX FUND RAISER
How do you clean out your closet and help Second Chance at the same time? By donating the shoes you don’t wear anymore to the shelter! We’ve started a new fund raiser by collecting shoes and shipping them to the philanthropic company “ShoeBox Recycling”. They pay us by the pound for shoes. They then ship them to third world countries.
Did you know that over 300 million pairs of shoes are thrown away each year? Keep your old shoes out of the landfill, and help raise funds for cat litter and medical care.
Give your old shoes a new life. Drop off your unwanted shoes (that are still wearable and have no holes) to the shelter. The kitties can’t wear them, but they sure need them.

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS
On Sunday, March 3 at the Shelter we took a break from our mission and had a party to thank our many volunteers! We all had a good time, shed a few tears after an eloquent speech, and listened to some great music by local artist Katie Rose.
There wouldn't be a shelter without volunteers! We hope to make this an annual event.
