**Low cost spay/neuter clinics coming up in 2010**

Second Chance for Pets will be transporting dogs and cats to the Animal Protective League in Springfield, IL for low cost spay and neuter clinics in 2010. If you have a pet that you would like to have spayed or neutered for a very low cost (free for pit bulls and pit bull mixes/$50 for other breeds), please call us at 217-935-3488 at least 24 hours in advance to get on the transport!

Low-cost vaccinations will also be available.

**Free rabies shots (with spay or neuter) for the February 9th transport!**

Please check out our events page for more details.

Cold days and nights

Please contact us if you have an outside pet and need straw bedding to help keep them warm during the winter season. If you know of a pet in need, please call us as well.  

Volunteer opportunities

We always need volunteers to do research on things, make a few phone calls, help with fundraising, home checks, etc.  We are also looking for volunteers this season to help deliver straw to cold outside dogs.

Foster homes desperately needed!

The DeWitt County Animal Shelter is completely full of dogs at risk of being euthanized if they don't find foster homes soon. Please consider fostering one of these great dogs! Contact us at 217-935-3488 if you're interested in saving one of these dogs' lives.

Nevaeh (VERY URGENT) is a 2 to 3-year-old female pit bull. She is already spayed and can go to foster care immediately. She desperately needs out of the shelter!
