Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To champion homeless cats and dogs who are healthy or treatable in the quest to find their forever home and engage with our community to provide responsible pet ownership reducing future generations of homeless animals.

  • Second Chance Pet Adoptions continues our essential mission of saving lives of cats and dogs by providing them with shelter, medical care, food, socialization, love and finding them their forever homes. The organization welcomes all breeds of cats and dogs, accepting stray and abandoned animals found by community members or by pulling animals from government shelters. Second Chance accepts healthy animals as well as animals in need of special care such as those requiring surgery, treatments such as for heartworms and specialized diets. Pregnant, nursing animals and newborns needing to be bottle fed are also provided care within our program. Second Chance commits to each animal for their entire lives, taking them back into our program if the adoptive parents can no longer care of them. We also work with several government run shelters to take their animals into our program, decreasing euthanasia rates by freeing space in those shelters and by taking animals which require medical procedures that these shelters can not provide. Second Chance also collaborates with other rescues and non-profits to save dogs from high kill shelters by pulling, quarantining, providing medical care and love, and transferring them to other areas in the country for adoption. In addition, Second Chance supports programs to spay/neuter owned and feral animals to help manage the population of unwanted animals.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
