Education & Outreach

As a rescue, Second Chance Rescue is dedicated to the humane and socially responsible treatment of animals. We recognized Mexico as a specific area of interest where Second Chance Rescue could have a significant impact. Mexico has a large stray animal problem and many of them are put down, used for fighting or even used for food. As a rescue organization, we rescue these dogs and cats and provide them the care they need until they can be happily adopted by loving owners in the states. We do not just assist Mexico but the greater Southern California region as well.

Paws and Whiskers is located on 25 acres surrounded by woods, we provide privacy for our companion pet. We prefer to pull from high kill shelters or shelters that use inhumane methods to kill animals. We are committed to helping pets, they have no voice, no rights, they are simply acted upon--they are killed. So many pets are abused and we hope in our small way to help these animals find a second chance in life.

The BLFSH was established in 2004 to assist with fostering & rehoming misplaced ferrets.
