Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) is a non-profit Edmonton and Athabasca based registered charity that is almost entirely volunteer operated. SCARS relies on money raised through memberships, donations, sponsorships, grants, and other fundraising efforts. Our mission is to promote the humane care and protection of all animals and to prevent cruelty and suffering. We take in as many homeless pets as our resources allow. Each one is spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and receives whatever care it needs. We typically have over 250 in care and find loving homes for over 2,100 animals yearly.
