It Is Time For Our Spring Fundraiser!

Lulu1Lulu is completely blind at 2 years old from cataracts. We think she deserves to see for the rest of her life so we are going to make it happen. We are so grateful for your support that allows us to give Lulu this precious gift.

This year for every $25 donation towards Lulu’s cataract surgery we will enter you 15 times in our Spring Fundraiser drawing. We are giving away $500, $250 and $250 at each of our Annual Picnics. The first drawing will be at our Sacramento annual picnic on June 22 and the second will be at the Santa Barbara picnic on July 20th. Don’t forget to reserve your spot at the Picnic!

Our Work Is Not Yet Done

CA666.25048451-1-xAnnie was a back yard dog her whole life until she was put in the Stockton shelter for us to find. She came to us blind from juvenile cataracts at only 2-4 years old  and mats as big as baseballs in her ears, but that sweet face melted our hearts and we decided that we were taking her home. Now all cleaned up she has found her forever family with the Lorfing’s but our work is not yet done, she deserves to see again.  Annie is scheduled for cataract surgery March 9th. Her new family will give her the intensive after-care she will require but we are paying the bills.

Donations to help give Annie her sight back

Sweet William

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAWilliam looks kind of sad with his one eye and soulful looks but really he is jumping up and down for joy. Just a few days ago he was sitting in the North Central LA shelter with all the other strays wondering how the heck he ended up there!

Thanks to everyone who donated towards his rescue he is safe, freshly groomed and ready for a foster home.  What a handsome boy!! We can’t thank you enough!

Wow, what a year!

A record 198 dogs rescued, 32 senior dogs in loving sanctuary homes, new teams of volunteers pulling dogs at even more shelters and all our bills paid off by end of the year. This has been a truly great year and none of it would have been possible without all of you!

Looking forward to this coming year, at SCCR we are looking for new ways to rescue more dogs than ever. Whether you are a once a year donor, Face Book fan, foster mom or monthly donor you are what makes the work we do possible. We thank you for being an important part of the Second Chance rescue team and helping us save lives, one Cocker Spaniel at a time.

Best Wishes for a Wonderful New Year,
Elizabeth Mazzetti
Founder and President

Susie Loves Belly Rubs

susie2Completely blind this poor mite was found by a good Samaritan wandering, frantic and disoriented by a Sacramento Marin. When they spoke to people near by they were told she had been seen being dumped out of a car that raced off.  They were afraid she would fall in the water and drown so they took her home and called us. Susie, turned out to be about 4 years old, not spayed and already had mature cataracts and glaucoma. We need to get her eyes evaluated to see what, if anything, can be done for her sight.

In the mean time her foster mom reports that she is alert, incredibly sweet and loving.  She LOVES belly rubs and to be in your lap and will give  you endless kisses if you let her!

Donations towards Susie’s medical bills.
