Second Chance Pet Network Shelter
|
The Second Chance Pet Network Shelter is located at 270 Wilson Road in Oxdrift, Ontario.
We opened our shelter facility in July 2013. We are very grateful to the people of Dryden and surrounding areas for their support in our fundraising efforts and for voting for us in the Pepsi Challenge. |
Adoptable Cats
Most of our cats are housed at our shelter. Our cats are mostly free to roam in the open cat room. We also have 7 smaller cat rooms that are used for cats that need to be isolated for any reason.
|
Left: The cats have access to outside runs where they can sit in the sun and get some fresh air. Right: Inside the cat room where the cats can roam about. There are lots of hiding and perching spots for them when they want some alone time.

Feral (Roaming) Cats
We are very fortunate to have the acreage to be able to have a feral cat facility at the back of our property. These cats are not available for adoption but we appreciate any donations for their care.
Second Chance Pet Network also manages feral cat colonies at Dryden’s Highway 502 and Barclay Landfill sites, as well as at the landfill site in Sioux Lookout. This management of feral cats is accomplished through a T-N-R program (trap-neuter-return).

Adoptable Dogs
We try to place all our dogs and puppies in foster homes whenever possible, but sometimes they end up at the shelter when we don't have enough foster homes. Usually the foster parents will bring the puppies to different events we have going so that you may meet them. We always have the adoption applications with us in case you fall in love!
All puppies that arrive in our care are vetted, then quarantined for 2 weeks so we know that they are disease free before being placed in a foster home or put up for adoption.

Dog Boarding
Second Chance Pet Network operates a boarding facility at the shelter. We have 18 kennels with a large play yard for the boarders. There is an attendant on site 24/7.
Please call Ann at 937-6943 for rates and availability. The puppies that are shown had just come in from playing and all ran to the same kennel, trying hard to convince us it was a mealtime. They have all since been adopted.

Second Chance has decided to hold their own "Clear The Shelter" adoption event!! With all the pregnant cats, cats with kittens, kittens on their own, etc, being brought to us lately, we are very quickly running out of room. Kitten season is far from over, and with that thought in mind, we have decided to waive the fee on any cat over the age of one year, with an approved adoption application! These cats are all vaccinated, dewormed, spay/neutered and microchipped. All you need is the love!!
