On July 18, 2014 over 200 people joined us at Prestonwood Country Club to enjoy great food, drinks and participate in a silent and live auction. All proceeds benefited Second Chance Pet Adoption and allows us to continue our mission – to champion homeless cats and dogs who are healthy or treatable in the quest to find their forever home and engage with our community to promote responsible pet ownership-ultimately reducing future generations of homeless animals. The Auction for the Animals is one of two large fundraisers Second Chance holds each year and in 2014 was an incredible success. We surpassed our fundraising goals, showed off some adorable puppies and kittens, and had a great time. Enjoy the following pictures from the event, the video shown at the auction.
