The Arizona Humane Society Second Chance Program

The Second Chance Fund is for a program designed to save thousands of animals in the Phoenix community. The Second Chance Fund will allow for the rehabilitation of animals with medical and behavioral problems who otherwise would not be adoptable. It will provide for medical treatment, surgeries, medication, behavior training, and whatever other services become necessary for the animals cared for by the Arizona Humane Society. These animals will be given a second chance at adoption and a happy home life.
