Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary was founded in 1996 by Joyce Smith who had been caring for animals from her home for 25 years. The sanctuary's mandate is to aid orphaned, sick or injured, and abandoned animals. Once rehabilitated, sick or injured animals animals are united with adoptive homes and domestic strays are housed with the hope of finding each one a good home.
In addition to caring for our fur bearing and feathered friends, we aim to educate our community regarding animal issues of the day. We hope that you will take the time to browse through our site and find ways that you too can make a difference.
You Can make A Difference!In Maine they tell of an old man walking along the beach with his grandson, who picked up each starfish they passed and threw it back into the sea. "If I left them up here," the boy said, "they would dry up and die. I'm saving their lives." "But," protested the old man, "the beach goes on for miles, and there are millions of starfish. What you are doing won't make a difference." The boy looked at the starfish in his hand, gently threw it into the ocean, and answered: "It makes a difference to this one." |
