IMPORTANT NOTICES
- ANIMALS AFTER HOURS - Please do not leave animals at the shelter after hours with no volunteers or staff present. This is for safety and legal reasons, becaus we have very limited space, and owners are required to fill out paperwork in order to legally sign an animal over to us. If you have to surrender your pet, please CALL 570-376-3646 (leave a message if no answer and we'll call you ). If you've found a stray dog after hours, please call the county dog warden, local or state police. Only Second Chance personnel or law enforcement officers are permitted to access kennels for stray dogs after hours.
- ADOPTION - We do not adopt on a "first come, first serve" basis. If we receive several applications in a short period of time for one animal, we choose what we feel will be the best home based on the animal's needs and personality. If an animal you apply for goes to another home, you may still be approved to adopt another animal. In most cases, approved applications are good for 6 months.
- PETFINDER - After an upgrade made to Petfinder's website, many shelters/rescues around the country can't log in to add, remove or change pet listings. This means our listings there may not be up to date and may include animals who have already been adopted. Please call us to inquire about an animal you see on Petfinder. We don't know when this will be fixed and we apologize for the inconvenience. Click the green button at the top of the page to see current adoptable animals.
