Ways to Help Pet's Second Chance
At any one time, Pet's Second Chance may have up to 15 Corgis in foster homes. The cost of food alone can be a challenge some months, not to mention routine health care, treatment of medical issues, bedding, toys and all the miscellaneous expenses involved in the care of dogs.
Some ways you can help:
- Adopt! The number one way to help
- Foster a Corgi in need
- Donations

Adopt or Foster A Corgi
If you are considering adoption, we will talk with you first, answer any questions or concerns and help you determine if a Corgi is the dog for you. If it is, then we will work with one on one with you to find your ideal match.
