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.

Nikita (aka Lynnette)

I just wanted to give you a quick update on how Nikita (aka Lynnette) is doing. She has adjusted very well to our family and has become best friends with out older dog Sandy. Sandy is doing all the work of training Nikita, and our very smart girl is catching on very well. Nikita is slowly getting used to her leash however she is still a little scared of it. I was so proud last night when she made it halfway around the block!! She is a wonderful little puppy and I couldnt' be happier with her.

Thank you so much for all the hard work that all of you at Scars do for these animals. It is very clear how much effort, and love you put into helping them. Again Thank You for all your hard work,
