Second Chance Animal Adoption

Our organization started in 1998 with two women who simply loved dogs. It has grown into a successful animal rescue. Our goal, to build a shelter, was realized in the summer of 2010 with the completion of our new facility at 6651 Lincoln street in Bonners Ferry, Idaho.

We are currently finalizing a 5 year strategic plan for the organization and working hard to structure a stronger board of directors.

Our bread and butter is the thrift store. We have one full time employee and 5 part time employees. We are always accepting donations and are very proud of how professional, clean, and organized it is. We offer quality clothing, kitchen items, furniture, well you name it we have it. Feel free to call or stop by anytime.

Our mission is:
We strive to act as faithful stewards for all abandoned, lost, homeless, and abused animals entrusted to our care in Boundary County, with the ultimate goal of finding lifelong, loving homes for every one.

Additional adoption info

All animals are vaccinated, de-wormed, and spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All animals go through an initial health evaluation and all dogs go through a tempermanent evaluation.

Adoption fees are as follows:
Cats: $25
Kittens: $35
Med to Lg Mixed Breed Dogs: $90.00
Puppies: $110.00
Lap Dogs Dogs Under 20 lbs: $120.00
Medium Purebred Dogs: $135.00
Extra Large Purebred dogs: $150.00

We have an easy adoption application which is the first step toward an adoption. Once the application is approved we schedule a meet and greet. We always encourage potential adopters to bring their dog, if applicable, when wanting to adopt another dog to ensure compatibility.

Each potential adopter is screened on an individual basis but our organization works very hard at matching the right dog with the right family so everyone involved is happy.
