Join CARE Humane Society for our Summer of Second Chances 2026 beginning June 1st—a season dedicated to transforming the lives of homeless animals and giving them the fresh start they deserve.

If you’ve ever seen the difference a second chance can make, you know just how powerful hope, compassion, and community support can be.

Every animal that enters CARE Humane Society’s care comes with a story. Some have been abandoned, others neglected, and many arrive scared or in need of urgent medical attention. But each one deserves healing, safety, and the opportunity to be loved. Over the past year, CARE has cared for more than 2,000 homeless pets, working every day to match them with caring forever families.

But second chances don’t come without a cost.

From medical treatment and vaccinations to food, shelter, and daily care, the expenses for each animal add up quickly. Like any family caring for pets, the responsibility is significant—and the summer months bring even greater challenges.

Puppy and kitten season is now in full swing, bringing a surge of the most vulnerable animals into our care. These tiny lives require round-the-clock attention, specialized formula, vaccinations, and medical support. At the same time, rising costs for food, veterinary care, and supplies continue to stretch resources even further.

That’s why your support during Summer of Second Chances 2026 is more important than ever. The campaign officially begins June 1st and runs through August 31st, 2026. With more animals needing help each day, your generosity ensures they receive the lifesaving care and second chances they deserve throughout the busy summer season.

Together, we can turn compassion into action, heartbreak into hope, and give every animal the opportunity to find a safe, loving home.
