‘When they come to us in bad shape, and then we see them go to a new home and they’re thriving – that’s what keeps us going’: Established in August 2023, Second Chances Animal Rescue has helped dozens of at-risk animals find their forever homes
An investigation of animal cruelty near Iron Bridge remains ongoing after the carcasses of an unknown number of puppies were found in a cage on a side road last month.
“Shelters have been at capacity and full, so people have been letting their animals loose outside and out in the bush,” McLean said. “Just yesterday, someone dropped off two dogs in Goulais right beside the highway. They’re still somewhere lost in the bush around the highway. “Any fundraising we do goes towards the spaying and neutering,” McLean said. “If they get adopted before they’re spayed or neutered, then it’s up to the owners to go through with it. But we can drive them across if they need us.”
“The farmer was going to round them all up in a sac and drown them, so someone was able to convince them about our rescue, and we got them all into homes,” McLean said. “They were all feral when we got them, but we have a lot of volunteers who will socialize them, so they were all ready to be a pet inside.”
The new rescue had been made aware of Roxy’s dire situation by a third party in recent weeks. Worried about a repeat incident from Iron Bridge, the anonymous party managed to convince the owner there was a good home for Roxy to go to.
