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.

Amiga (aka Sugar)

We were thrilled to adopt "Sugar" in September 2005 (with many thanks to SCARS and Cheryl at Little Arf'n’ Annie - her Foster mom). We have had her now for 6 months, and count our blessings daily for the love and joy she has brought to our lives. She has adjusted very well to her new home (as you can see in the attached photo). She loves her daily walks (and evening rabbit hunts) and looks forward to weekend jaunts at the off leash park..... We changed her name to Amiga (Spanish for "little friend") and are having a great time playing and relaxing with her.....thanks so much!!!
