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.

Indiana (aka Scooby)

My name is Indiana but you may have known me as Scooby. I thought I would send you an update on my new life. Everyone admires my chin whiskers and you should have seen the number of presents I got when I came…Bones and toys oh my! Mom and Dad are determined to spoil me though they don’t always agree how. Dad is trying to make me into a fat lazy dog and Mom says “No way!” I personally like Dad’s idea better as I love my treats. Mom is always letting me sneak up on the couch and we both get scolded. Mom is big into cuddles and has no problem letting me sit on her lap whenever I want though she seems to have a problem with me sitting on her head in the morning! I’m just trying to wake her up! I’m very happy now and I am even helping to foster another SCARS dog, Ramse. I keep him in line for Mom and Dad but I haven’t figured out how to open the door to let him out to the washroom yet…if I figured it out…I’ll let you know. Ta ta for now and please keep adopting from SCARS; they are great people and we are great dogs!
