Second Chance continues to help animals in need as well as pet owners. Adoptions of dog and cats were up 20% over the year before, which was also a record year. The Wellness Center continues to grow and offer more services, including performing over 5,000 spay/neuter surgeries. The shelter now helps over 10,000 pets a year through adoption, spay/neuter, wellness clinics, training, educational outreach, and the pet food pantry. The shelter has now become one of the largest no-kill animal shelters in Central and Western Massachusetts.
