F. Scott Fitzgerald may have written “There are no second acts in American lives”…but there can be a "Second Act" for the thousands of dogs and cats whose lives end in shelters each year.  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 which have received donations thus far, click on the "Grant recipients" 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 homeless dogs and cats.

On behalf of our four-legged friends, thank you for your support.
