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.

Boris (Rocky)

Hi there! It's been 3 weeks since we've had Boris join our family but it really only took 10 minutes for him to solidify into the position.


He is such a happy-go-lucky boy with a big kind heart and a kiss for anyone and everyone within licking distance!


Boris is such a quick learner and such a bright little soul to be around. He's completely in love with all of his toys- although it took a little time convincing him that they were, in fact, HIS to play with. He loves car rides with Dad more than anything- after all, who knows where we'll end up?! We all just wanted to say- Thank You SCARS, for the newest member of our family. I know I speak for everyone (including Boris) when I say that we are all so grateful for the work that you do. Everyday Boris wakes up on his own soft bed, among all of his own toys, treats, and food, in his own home, with his own back yard. The gratitude and love we see everyday in his eyes is it's own reward for our family.


Thanks Again!
