Story

Most of you know what a huge part of my life Second Chance is. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us. Very trying and emotional and sometimes hard to know which end is up. Some people have had their entire worlds rocked by losing jobs, homes and loved ones. Others of us have had little change except to try to protect ourselves and those around us. That in itself can be life altering and sometimes tough to do. Whether you are social distancing and trying to stay home as much as possible, maybe symptomatic so staying home to protect others or maybe self quarantining so you can go visit loved ones, this has been a tough year all around. While the physical time that I am able to give to Second Chance has definitely lessened, my desire to help and love for the animals has not been hurt by 2020.

This past year brought Angelo into my world. He was a tiny 2 week old baby that was found all alone out in the world. Second Chance took him into the program and that was all he needed. Someone to give him a chance at a safe life where he would know nothing but love.  

While I have had much heartache during this pandemic by losing 2 of my personal kitties, I have found a sweet little fluffy sole that is trying to fill in the empty spots in my heart that were left when my Julius and Remy went to the rainbow bridge. Having to say goodbye to one of my babies out in the parking lot of a vets office was something I never thought I would have to do, but thanks to 2020 and corona it happened.

I am thankful that my family and friends have not been touched a great deal by this pandemic. Most of us are very fortunate right now and still have jobs, able to provide for our families and still able to donate to causes that are important to us. I appreciate any donation that you are able to make to help us save more animals in need like my sweet little Angelo.
