Altar’d State is on a mission…to help our animals each Monday! Through April 15, 10% of all sales each and every Monday will be donated to our animals! Shop clothing, accessories, and gifts and home goods at the Crabtree Valley Mall location, and they’ll generously support the cats and dogs in our program on your behalf–at no extra cost to you!

On Monday, April 8, a few of our adoptable animals will be at the store from 4:00 to 8:00 PM! Hope to see you there!

Come on out to Second Chance to meet your new furry family member! Our foster kittens (6 months and younger) will be on-site to meet their new forever families, too!

Bring your dirty pup to Unleashed on Creedmoor and we’ll take care of bath time for you! Spare your knees, back, and bathroom with a donation for the animals of Second Chance Pet Adoptions (suggested $10 donation per dog). Cash, check, and card all accepted.

Starting in March 2019, Second Chance is using an online sign-up system so that you may select your appointment time! We hope this will make your experience even better as we virtually eliminate your wait time and offer the convenience of pre-payment. You may now make an appointment by clicking HERE!

Each month, the online reservations will open up at 12:00 noon Eastern on the first day of the month. Online reservations will close 24 hours in advance of the wash (at 11:00 a.m. Eastern on the day before the wash) OR once all appointments are booked.

As we transition from “first come, first served” to online reservations, we may make some changes to this system based on customer feedback. Thank you for your patience as we make this transition; keep an eye on our event calendar for the most up-to-date information.
