Second Chance Animal Sanctuaries, a grassroots endeavor created in 2001, grew out of the need to influence local public attitude toward domestic animals and to find an alternative to the high euthanasia rate that currently existed in our area. Our goal is to provide a humane, lifetime care sanctuary for the care and rehabilitation of abandoned and at-risk animals. We currently provide outreach education programs and networks for animal fostering and adoptions. Our vision is, through example, advocacy and outreach, to make a real difference in not only the animals we help but in future treatment and respect for all life, great and small.We opened our sanctuary in September, 2016 and focus primarily on stray and abandoned dogs and cats. We serve Tioga and Potter Counties in Pennsylvania.

Our mission is to first ensure the safety and well-being of all English Bulldogs that we take in and second to educate the public in the care of English Bulldogs. We rehabilitate and re-home English Bulldogs that are sick, neglected, abused, or injured. Moreover, we provide a safe alternative to shelters for owners that are faced with the already difficult decision of finding a new home for their English Bulldog. We have rescued over 400 bulldogs since forming in 2009. We have approximately 35-45 English Bulldogs in foster care at any given time. At this time, we are unable to offer owners financial help when faced with a medical or surgical emergency. We hope to be able to offer some assistance in the future.

Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue is a haven for Border Collies that have been abandoned or stray. Many of these dogs are turned over to shelters through no fault of their own - because their previous owners found themselves unable to handle the challenges border collies offer or because changes in their lives left them unable to properly care for their dogs. Knowing this breed allows MABCR to rescue these dogs from an uncertain future and place them into caring, responsible homes. MABCR knows each of their dogs intimately and what each requires to be properly placed into a new home. Assessment of each dog can determine if they should be placed as a pet only or an actual working dog home, involved in herding, goose removal, agility or obedience.

They are a small all-volunteer rescue organization with seasoned rescuers who have been rescuing and placing dogs for many years. Their mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home abandoned stray and neglected dogs. ARRF does not have a shelter and depends on the generosity of their foster homes who open their homes and hearts to their dogs. All of their dogs are evaluated for temperament and personality which helps to place them in the homes that are best suited for their needs and the needs of their future owners. Their volunteers receive no pay and all money given to and raised by ARRF through donations, adoptions, events, and fundraisers goes directly to benefit their rescued dogs. They work closely with other rescue groups and animal shelters to find you your next furry friend.

Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue exists to improve the quality of life of forsaken companion animals by giving them medical care, food, water, shelter and love. This is accomplished via our foster home network and through efforts to find suitable forever homes through our adoption and transport programs.

We do this by providing access to low cost, or free, spay-neuter surgeries and by raising community awareness about responsible pet ownership through humane education to elementary school children. The prevention of animal cruelty is central to all we do.
