Second Chance Animal Sanctuaries

Our Mission:

To provide humane, no-kill sanctuaries for the care and rehabilitation of abandoned and at-risk animals.
To provide compassionate, animal-friendly environments that respect the dignity and total needs of all animals under our care and protection
To provide outreach programs and networks for animal adoptions, public respect and appreciation of animals, and awareness of animal needs as well as human responsibilities

Our vision is, through example, advocacy, and outreach, to make a real difference in not only the animals we help but in future treatment and respect for all life, great or small.

We always welcome volunteers to sit and cuddle cats, walk and play fetch with dogs, clean, help with outside chores, etc. Our Heading Home Center is located in a peaceful spot overlooking a pond and the beautiful mountains in Tioga County, PA. The rewards of adding love and interaction with an animal are priceless!

Our annual Chili Cook-off is coming soon! It will be on Saturday, April 28th, at Rockwell's outside of Wellsboro. Chili tasting will be from 11:00-1:00 and vendors open at 10:00.
