Project Second Chance is an Alexandria-based nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and finding forever homes for homeless dogs in Puerto Rico and kill shelters across the US.
PSC also focuses on special needs dogs with severe medical challenges. These rescues require substantial financial support to provide specialized care—support from S2A makes their rescue possible!
PSC helped a very special dog named Bunny with S2A support. Bunny was abandoned at a vet clinic for euthanasia with only one front leg and an untreated spinal cord injury leaving her back legs paralyzed. Despite her injuries and severe neglect, Bunny had a zest for life and was pleading for a second chance. We could not say no. We flew her from Puerto Rico to Virginia for care. We never gave up on her even after neurologists told us there was nothing we could do. Instead, we turned to holistic care and physical rehab. She was given acupuncture, laser therapy, PT, time to heal, and tons of love. She fought for a better life and we never gave up on her.
After just a few months, she showed us that she no longer needed her mobility cart and started running on all 3 legs! Bunny is just one success story, but a huge reminder to us that this is why we rescue!
