Rescue FAQs

Second Chance & Happy Tails was founded by Inge Irby, a native of Germany, in January 1997 after a reorganizational shutdown of the local Humane Society. The organization incorporated in September 1999 . We specialize in rescuing small (less than 25 lbs.) dogs from bad situations, although we have a special place in our hearts for the elderly. We serve as Clarksville's only no-kill rescue and retirement home for small, older animals that are no longer wanted - sick or healthy. We are an all volunteer force and rely on donations/fees to continue. Dog food (Pedigree brand canned,pouches and dry, IAMS Little Bites and small bites puppyfood, or Purina ONE Lamb & Rice only please); Heartguard Plus; Frontline; copy paper; business cards; paper towels; laundry detergent; dryersheets bleach; any gasgiftcards,any nontoxic pain and any non-carpet flooring. Our veterinary bills average $800-$3500 per month, although special needs situations can cause these figures to vary greatly. Please send donations to Second Chance & Happy Tails or email us. (1pawup@bellsouth.net) You can also use the donation button on the website. Please visit our website for more information about our services.
We adopt to all cities, towns and counties throughout the United States.
