About SCARS

Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) is dedicated to reducing the number of homeless animals in Northern Alberta, Canada

We believe that there is a suitable home for all homeless animals: young or old; large or small.

As a volunteer-run, registered charity, we care for these animals by providing veterinary care and foster homes for animals in need until a permanent home is found. These private foster homes provide the animals with warm shelter, food, exercise, and tender loving care (something that so many of the animals we receive have never experienced).

SCARS does not practice selective intake procedures and operates in a triage manner: taking the animal in most medical need first. As a result our medical expenses are enormous. Please consider donating to our rescue efforts.


Look At Us Now!

To date, SCARS has rescued and rehomed over 3,000 animals.

Because these animals live in our homes, we deveop a very deep bond with our fosters. Many of the adoptive families keep us updated on how well their new companions are thriving in their new homes.

To all the wonderful foster homes, all the tireless volunteers, all the compassionate furever-homes: we say a heartfelt thank-you!

Please support your local rescue society and consider adoption as opposed to buying your new friend.

Guiness (Ava)

Hi there, It has been a few weeks now since we brought Ava home and we wanted to let you know she is doing really well. We had to change her name as our friends have a (human) baby named Ava and it would have gotten a bit confusing later on. She is now named Guiness because she is black and tan and a little bitter! She still doesnt trust strangers much but is getting much better. She loves her new min pin pal Stella and they play non stop. Guiness got spayed last Friday and that slowed her down for about a day and then she was back in full force! She loves going for walks especially if she gets to wear her new sweater. She is a total snuggle bunny and loves to be under the covers keeping toasty warm.We want to thank SCARS for rescuing her so that she could join our family. Attached are some picture of her and Stella, you can post them if you like!

Thanks again, we love her to bits!

Tracy and Peter
