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.

Are you interested in welcoming a dog into your family for a short period of time? We are always looking for folks to temporarily foster a dog (for a week-3 weeks) because we have a waiting list of dogs to come to our center. Any foster dog would be up to date on shots, temperament tested, and healthy. Please contact us if you could help us out!

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 sharing love and interaction with an animal are priceless!
