Sweetie

F. Scott Fitzgerald may have written “There are no second acts in American lives”… but there can be a "Second Act" for the hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats whose lives end in shelters each year ("Sweetie" pictured above is one my rescues). The lucky ones will avoid euthanasia and be taken in by pet rescue organizations. Second Acts was established to help make that happen.

Second Acts distributes 100% of all donations received to small, volunteer-run groups nationwide that adopt a no-kill policy. For a list of the rescue groups that have received donations so far, click on the "Where Donations Go" page.

If you would like to see more dogs and cats saved and placed into loving, permanent homes, please donate what you can to Second Acts. Your contribution will fund animal rescue organizations across the country -- with every penny received going directly to save the lives of unwanted dogs and cats.

Please check out our corporate partnerships listed below and learn how you can help Second Acts directly from your computer.

On behalf of our animal friends, thank you.
