    12:00 pm-3:00 pm
    04/03/2022
    6003 Chapel Hill Rd, Raleigh, NC 27607, USA

    Adoptable dogs are waiting to meet YOU at Second Chance Pet Adoptions! Visit us here at the adoption center to conveniently meet the dogs who are traveling from their foster homes to our center for the day.

    Please note the following:

    1. Not all of our adoptable dogs will be here; you can view all currently-adoptable dogs at www.SecondChanceNC.org, with more added all the time.

    2. While you’re welcome to submit an adoption application via our website ahead of time, you do not need to have an application on file to stop by.

    3. We do not do same-day adoptions. This event is for meet-and-greets only; if you meet your canine soulmate at this event, the actual adoption will be scheduled for another day.

    4. Unless you have an APPROVED adoption application on file and discuss bringing your own pets to this event to meet particular dogs, please leave your pets at home. We can arrange a meeting of the animals another time.

    5. Masks are optional but not required.

    6:35 pm-9:30 pm
    04/13/2022
    409 Blackwell St, Durham, NC 27701, USA
    Bark in the Park

    The Durham Bulls’ paw-pular Bark in the Park nights presented by Tito’s Handmade Vodka return to the DBAP in 2022! Enjoying America’s pastime with your best four-legged friend is a night you’ll remember fur-ever. Come on out April 13, May 11, June 1, July 6, and August 10.
    Human ($9.50) and dog ($5.50) tickets are on sale now HERE. Each dog needs a ticket, and each dog ticket includes a donation to Second Chance Pet Adoptions. Note that seating for dogs is only available in Outfield Reserve sections.
    As usual, Second Chance volunteers will be ready and excited to “pet sit” your pup while you access parts of the stadium where non-service dogs are not allowed (food and drinks, restrooms, and so on).

  • Dog Wash Fundraiser
    11:00 am-3:00 pm
    04/16/2022
    7408 Creedmoor Road Raleigh, NC 27613

    Bring your dog to Unleashed and Second Chance volunteers will bathe your pup for you! Spare you knees, back, and bathroom by making a contribution to Second Chance (recommended $10 per dog) so more stray and abandoned cats and dogs can get their second chances to find love. Cash, check, and credit card are all accepted on-site; your dog can get a bath as a walk-in or you can make an appointment via our website.

    Dog washes are the third Saturday of each month, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in January and February, and from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in March through December.

    We strongly encourage you to make an appointment–doing so will reduce or eliminate your wait time and you can even pre-pay for greater convenience if you’d like. To schedule a wash, click HERE. The reservation system opens at 12:00 noon on the first day of each month and closes at 11:00 a.m. the day before the wash or when all appointments are booked, whichever comes first. We will always have room for walk-ins.

    Our volunteers will follow any COVID-related protocols in place at the time, whether the precautions are set by Wake County, the City of Raleigh, Unleashed, or Second Chance. We encourage dog wash customers to do the same. If you have any questions about the protocols in place at the time of your scheduled wash or the dog wash itself, please contact us at Rachel@SecondChanceNC.org.
