Testimonials

Doing PSC gave me a chance to do something good. I don’t get to feel that way very often. I feel like I accomplished something.

I know why they call it PROJECT SECOND CHANCE. Everybody deserves a second chance. The dogs kind of relate to us because we’re locked up and the dogs were too at Animal Control. And once they learn and show improvement they have a chance to get adopted and not have to be locked up anymore. If we learn here and show improvement, we hope the judge will give us a second chance too and release us. But if the dogs or us mess up, then we will have to go back to being locked up again.

I get what this program is about. PSC helped me because after my mom died, I thought I had nothing to live for. But since PSC, it helped me realize that there’s more to life and to live for. I don’t have to be a failure in life because of all the stuff that happened to me. I learned that I can make a difference and help out. There’s probably lots of places that I can do some good. It feels good and it gives me a reason to live. So thank you, PROJECT SECOND CHANCE.

Studies have shown a real high connection between kids who abuse animals and then go on to abuse people later on in life. We think we can cut it off at an early age by showing them to love animals and treat them with respect that it will continue into their relationships with others.

Hey me and these dogs have much in common. They’ve been unloved and mistreated in some way shape form as I have as a human being. My main man or should I say Mac taught me that I can enjoy and love just about everything and everyone without being selfish and self-centered…If I were a 2 year old dog me and Mac would be brothers.

Jenna and Ryan Kidd, Adoptive family

We adopted Almond from Project Second Chance in Sept. of 2016…The kids and the trainers were so caring and good with her. She seemed so happy and content and eager to learn from them. Their training method of using positive reinforcement was doing wonders for her as well as the kids who were caring and training for her….We have high hopes one day Almond will make an amazing therapy dog, all thanks to her training that started at Project Second Chance.
