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.

Lola (aka Honey)


We adopted “Lola” (originally “Honey”) from your rescue shelter this past October. We were excited to get a new puppy but could not have anticipated how much joy she has brought into our home.


Lola has a beautiful personality and everyone who meets adores her. We feel like she has been a part of our family forever, and want to thank-you for the wonderful service you provide by taking care of dogs like Lola who for some reason have been cast aside.


We have done a lot since she has come home with us – lots of playing, walks in the off-leash parks, and recent graduation from obedience school! We have discovered she is a bit of a digger (no one’s perfect!) and also an escape artist (but we now have a fortress for a dog-run).

Thanks again Second Chance – We tell everyone we know who is looking for a dog about you!!!
Love Alexis, Roger, and Lola
