How You Can Help

Become a Foster Home

As a foster home, you will provide temporary care for an animal in need until we can find a suitable permanent home. Becoming a foster home is easy and there is absolutely no cost or long-term obligation. Foster homes are vital to our success. Simply put, they saves lives. We rely on them.

Volunteer

SCARS is always looking for volunteers to help with fundraising, events, animal care, etc. as well as volunteer foster families to assist us in providing the animals with the temporary care they need until a suitable home can be found.

Become a Member

An annual membership with SCARS costs just $25 and provides you with a biannual newsletter from the society which will contain fun, interesting, and useful information, a one year membership card, an opportunity to help out and possibly work with the animals in need, and a calendar depicting the animals you have helped.

Make a Donation

SCARS is a non-profit charitable organization and can issue tax receipts. We are only funded by our members and supporters and currently do not receive government financial support.

Our Wish List

SCARS does not currently receive regular funding. We, therefore, rely solely on memberships, donations, sponsorships, and money that we raise through special events. We have put together a list of some of the more prominent items that we need on an ongoing basis. Any donations are very much appreciated.

Donate your empty bottle refund money

Donating your empty bottle refund money is an easy way to donate to a great cause and help some wonderful animals. If you are returning your bottles / cans for refund at the bottle depot in Athabasca, just ask the staff to donate the refund money directly. It's that easy!

Have your pet spayed or neutered

One of the best ways to help the Second Chance Animal Rescue Society is to have your pet spayed or neutered. Each year millions of animals are euthanized in shelters due to lack of available homes. After all, for every home that you find for an animal that you have bred, a home is lost for a shelter animal.
