Puppies In A Hole 6th Jul 2012, by Second Chance
I took this picture near my house. These two puppies took shelter in a drain. First thing that came to to my mind was how cute they were. But they were starving and their mother was finding it so hard to search for food for them. People think that neutering is inhumane but please think hard about it again.....I know some owners won't neuter their dogs but let them wander out of their houses. These dogs will certainly find 'interesting things' to do out there. Some...

Neuter Your Dogs, People! 20th Jun 2012, by Second Chance

As a results, many unwanted puppies are born. When that happens, dog owners dispose their problems by throwing out the puppies from their homes, their factories, their farms etc. Some of these puppies are barely few weeks old and still require their mother's tender care, not to mention the nutritio...

Words Of Innocence 18th Jun 2012, by Second Chance
You guys know the famous website, 9gag? I read this post which was really sweet. The mind of this six-year-old kid was so fascinating...... Humans are blinded by money, ambition, success; caught up by work, concentrating on making money; caged in an office from 8am-11pm, get booted by bosses or staff....We don't live a life, we merely survive. We need a break to live life to realize what we have. Don't let that magnificent child minds die, we shou...

Pauline's Unique Birthday Presents 12th Jun 2012, by Second Chance
Pauline turned 24 years old few days ago and a group of friends celebrated the happy day with her. She was asked what she wanted as her birthday presents and guess what! She wanted nothing but dog kibbles, medicated shampoo, Clorox and pails to be given to her so she can donate to a dog shelter. We were moved to tears what this young lady has done. Most of us would prefer friends to pamper us with gifts rather than for the animals, bu...
