President’s Letter It’s hard to believe that 2015 is here. It’s been 16 years since the start of Second

Chance and it is amazing to think that we are now helping over 16,000 pets a

year! It’s exciting to us that we are able to help so many. We are able to do this

because we get to the root causes of animal suffering and abandonment. The

pets that come into shelters is just a very small percentage of the pets in need.

There are so many more living in our communities that need resources so that

they can be healthy, safe, and living a wonderful life. And that is exactly what

we work to do. We work hard on surrender prevention by helping to keep pets

in their homes whenever possible. How do we do this? By providing programs such as: Training programs for pet

owners to help them work with their pets to resolve issues: educational outreach programs for school age children to

learn about caring for pets and being safe around pets; subsidized veterinary care to help pet owners on limited in-

comes care for their pets; community programs such as vaccine clinics in the community and weekly at our wellness

center to prevent the spread of disease in the community; a pet food pantry to provide food to pets whose owners

have fallen on hard times; and so much more.

It is all about the pets at Second Chance. It is about finding every way we can to get help to every pet we can. The

pets that come into our adoption center get the best care possible and we do our best to find them homes as quickly as

possible. The thousands of pets that come into our Wellness Center for veterinary care receive top notch care from

one of our 6 veterinarians. This is what we do every day to help pets. It’s a great feeling to know that we are provid-

ing programs that help pets in, and out, of shelters to get a Second Chance at a wonderful life.

My heartfelt thanks to all of you that help to make all of this possible. Every

year brings new challenges and new needs. Every year brings new stories of

pets in need and finding a way to save them. We could not do all we do with-

out all of you – thank you for being there for us so we can be there for them!

Thank You for remembering the animals with your special donations. The Scoop on Poop

Intestinal Parasites and Your Pet

Dogs and cats can get worms, but how important is that, really? Can’t

you just see them in the pet’s poop? Don’t wormy pets look thin and ill?

Wouldn’t they have diarrhea? Won’t it be obvious if your pet has worms?

The truth is that any pet can have internal parasites, even indoor pets,

and these parasites can impact their health without you ever seeing anything in

their stool or seeing any other obvious signs.

Let’s talk about a few of the most common intestinal parasites.

Both dogs and cats get roundworms; most dogs will have roundworms at some point in their lives. Roundworms are

long and thin; they live inside your dog’s intestines. Their eggs are passed in the stool, or can be passed from mother

to pup while they are still in her uterus or when they nurse, since immature worms can be passed in the mother’s milk.

Roundworms can also be transmitted when a dog eats a prey animal or ingests feces that have the worms’ eggs in

them.

Hookworms are also a common intestinal parasite that can affect dogs and cats. They attach to the wall of the

intestine and feed by sucking blood from your pet. Some young or debilitated animals can have infestations so severe

that they need to have blood transfusions. Immature hookworms hatch from eggs in the soil and are picked up by your

pet when they groom themselves or when the larvae penetrate your pet’s skin and migrate to their intestine.

Both dogs and cats can get tapeworms. They can be spread when your pet eats a flea (fleas carry one stage of the tape-

worm lifecycle) when they are scratching or grooming, or if they hunt and eat rodents. Pets with tapeworm may have

small segments of tapeworms stuck to the skin and hair around their anal area.

Another common intestinal parasite of dogs is the whipworm. They’re picked up when your dog plays in the

dirt and cleans themselves, or plays with a toy that has contaminated dirt on it.

So, if your pet seems fine, and you don’t see obvious evidence of worms,

why worry? There are several reasons: they can weaken your pet in ways you might

not see, putting them at risk for other Illnesses, and they can make you and members

of your family ill. People can get roundworms, hookworms, and some tapeworms

from dogs and cats. In humans, the roundworm can migrate to various areas in the

body and cause blindness, damage to the heart and lungs, and neurologic disease.

Hookworms can migrate through human skin and intestines and cause symptoms

that vary from a rash to severe disease. There are tapeworms that cause disease in

humans as well.

How can you protect your pet? Pick up

after your pet. Contaminated feces are one of the

most important sources of infestations. Wash your

hands after handling pets or pet waste. Have your veterinarian deworm puppies and

kittens, and bring a stool sample with you to your pet’s annual exam. Your vet will

dissolve the sample with a special chemical solution, then check for parasite eggs

under the microscope.

For more information, talk to your veterinarian or go to the companion animal para-

site council website at www.capc.org.

ly! There is a silent auction as well as a live auction with Auctioneer Joe Craig as the

guest auctioneer. The evening will begin at 5:00 PM with a delicious dinner, followed by

the auction.

There are 4 ways to get involved in this exciting event to help homeless pets. Attend, Donate, Advertise, or

fund the much needed programs that we operate. Even if you are not a business or cannot attend our fundraiser,

you can help with a monetary donation as well. All are greatly appreciated!

We are a non-profit no-kill animal shelter that works hard to rescue animals. We began in 1999, opened our shel-

Second Chance is on the Roll!!!

What a great year 2014 turned out to be. We were able to place more animals in their forever homes than ever in our 16 years of existence. A new additional adoption center now operating in Framingham MA inside the Petsmart building gives our adult cats even more opportunities to be adopted by loving families. Our high quality, high volume spay and neuter clinic operates daily to stem the tide of the 3 million that are being euthanized each year due to lack of space and lack of adopters. Our Subsidized Veterinary Clinic, begun in Aug of 2013, has grown beyond our expec-tations and now offers appointments 5 days a week as well as two Saturdays a month and one evenings per week. We have helped so many of the underserved be able to provide med-ical care for their beloved pets. New vaccine clinic locations have been added to Webster and

Douglas as well as our mobile clinics that travel to cities throughout the state. But it isn’t stopping there! Through the generosity of the Petsmart Charities, Second Chance was awarded a grant that has enabled us to purchase a mobile surgical and adoption vehicle that will enable us to bring medical care to those who need us the most. This vehicle, which is 26 feet long and houses a com-plete surgical suite, pre-op and post-op space and can also serve as a mobile adop-

tion center, will be on the road and functioning by spring of this year. It gives us the capabil-ity to do vaccine clinics, surgery, dentals, wellness exams and will allow us to do adoption events at multiple locations. We are so excited to be able to bring services directly to those who can’t get to our North Brookfield facility. The current plan is to have the vehicle on the road 6 days a week, spending time at many of the other MA rescues that rely on our pro-grams, traveling into the neediest of neighborhoods in the cities of Worcester and Spring-field to bring all of our medical services to help keep our animal friends healthy and free from needless suffering. We continue to relentlessly pursue our mission to end animal suf-fering and abuse. We work hard to keep pets out of shelters in the first place by providing services in the community to help these pets and their owners. Keep an eye out for our new unit as you are out and about. Give our team a toot of the horn and a wave and let them know how much you support their work. They are tireless in their efforts and all of you are so vital to our mission with your support!!!

new client we send to H&R Block this tax season. Just go on our website
