Seeking First Class Homes for Second Hand Pets
|

|
 |
| Columbia Second Chance was founded in 1985 as a privately-funded, all-volunteer organization dedicated to "seeking first-class homes for second-hand pets." Through the kindness of our volunteers and our foster homes, we care for animals of all types, either on a temporary basis while we search for a new, permanent home, or on a long-term basis while the animal is treated for illness or injury. At no time are animals euthanized just because they don't have a home - all animals have a home at Columbia Second Chance. Animals are accepted on a space-available basis.
Our mission is to provide for the benevolent relief of unwanted animals. The organization will provide food, shelter, medical assistance, and general relief to those animals that have been made homeless through the acts or omissions of people; to provide this care for each animal while researching and approving permanent adoptive homes; to educate the public regarding the health, exercise, and general needs of these animals, as well as to the necessity of spaying and neutering as a means of alleviating the burden of unwanted animals; and to do every act as may be necessary to aid and assist the community in providing quality, permanent homes for these animals and to promote the goals and gains of this mission.

In the summer of 2007, Columbia Second Chance celebrated a major accomplishment- the opening of our very own Adoption Center. Since that time CSC has been able to help the pets and pet owners of Columbia in a whole new way, with a location that let supporters, volunteers and potential adopters put a face with the name, so to speak. The success of the first Adoption Center exceeded all our wildest expectations.
Although the Adoption Center was everything that CSC needed and more, we quickly outgrew the space, and once again had to search for an appropriate location to conduct the “business” of animal rescue. So after many long months of investigation and negotiation, CSC is incredibly proud to announce the purchase of our new property that will feature the brand new Adoption Center of Columbia Second Chance!
Located just 10 minutes west of the Providence exit on I-70, this wonderful location features a modern building of 6000 square feet on over 30 acres of scenic views, including a small pond. A lot of work has been done to make the building ready for opening on March 5th 2010, and there is still a lot of work left before all interior renovations are completed. However, this location will allow CSC to house the majority of our adoptable cats in spacious new Kitty Kondos, which are being built during phase one of our construction project. Plans are also being developed for Puppy Pods for CSC's adoptable canines, which will be constructed during phase two. The new building already features a finished lobby and upstairs loft area for storage, administration and reception areas.
Of course this exciting new venture would mean nothing without your help. CSC is counting on our dedicated group of volunteers and supporters to continue doing what you do best, so that our new facility can fulfill all its potential for the growth and development of our wonderful organization. It's thanks to all that dedication that CSC has grown so much, and we hope will continue to grow far into the future.
