American Humane Association: Second Chance Fund

  • June 01, 2020

American Humane logoThe Second Chance Fund is an initiative of the American Humane Association to help give animal victims of abuse or neglect a second chance at life.

The Fund was established to help offset the cost of treating homeless animal victims of abuse or neglect. Financial assistance is provided, in select cases, to animal welfare organizations responsible for the temporary care of animals as they are prepared for adoption into permanent, loving homes.

Due to the overwhelming number of abuse cases nationwide, the Second Chance Fund is offered only in select cases of animal abuse or neglect.

General guidelines of the Fund include the following:

  • Only animal sheltering agencies (private or public) and rescue groups are considered for the Second Chance Fund. Individuals, businesses, and corporations are not supported.
  • Funding may be used only to cover medical procedures for animals that have been victims of abuse or neglect and require medical treatment before being placed for adoption. Routine medical procedures and behavior modification or training are outside the scope of the Fund.
  • Medical procedures covered under the Fund will allow animals to medically recover and live a relatively pain-free life.
  • Animals involved can be successfully placed in new homes.
  • Funding to any one agency is limited to $2,000 per fiscal year.

Please note: Due to the overwhelming number of abuse cases nationwide, the Second ChanceĀ® Fund is offered only in select cases of animal abuse or neglect. Funding is awarded on a case-by-case basis. Selected cases will be used for fundraising purposes.
