All About Second Chance Animal Rescue:

Hi my name is John, I am the founder member of Second Chance Animal Rescue in Crockenhill, or SCAR as it’s become known as by our volunteers & supporters. I have been caring and rescuing animals on a small scale for as long as I can remember, first at home with my parents, then from my own garden until finally in 2011 I was lucky enough to find a small plot

of land in Crockenhill. Wherever possible we do try and find a new forever home for the animals but if that is not possible then they are allowed to live out their life at the rescue. Our ethos “is live and let live”, these animals have suffered prior to reaching SCAR, so should be allowed to have a happy life enjoying freedom and enrichment that SCAR has to offer. SCAR is registered with the Charity Commission. We are always grateful of any support anyone can provide the rescue with. We always need sheds, building materials, animal bedding, and feed. If you think that you could possibly help in any way please get in touch either by telephone or email. Anyone wishing to come and see what we are doing and meet the animals is more than welcome, but this is by prior arrangement only. Many thanks for taking the time to read this and we hope to hear from you in the future. John and all at SCAR Crockenhill.

Joey is looking fabulous now and is soon going to start some gentle training . He has put on weight and has lots of energy now . He has just joined another couple of horses so has lots of company now and is learning a few manners from them ! He loves people and is so comical. He always turns his back onus and it's quite disconcerting as you expect him to kick out but his absolute favorite thing is a bottom scratch and stands for ages while we oblige. He is a beautiful boy and has settled in so well with us . X

Four of our newbies to the cattery are enjoying lick-e-lix as a treat alongside lots of cuddles and playtime. They have just been separated from their 9 week old kittens so, they can be neutered and live a fabulous life without fear of pregnancy. They have really had enough of being a mum and will go back into season again. The kittens are old enough to go without Mum and most are off to new homes at the weekend. Mums can now relax in peace, put on some weight and enjoy being a big kitten themselves x

Today has certainly been a hot one and we are all enjoying the sunshine . As you can see some of our animals have enjoyed a cool dip and we have also started bathing the horses . Little Paddy our miniature Shetland was still holding on to his winter coat so he was clipped out then had a lovely cool bath . He wasn't awfully impressed but went to his stable to have a good roll in his bed ! It's hard work making sure everyone has lots of water available but so necessary. It's a joy to have sun after the rain we had and hopefully it will stay a few days . Enjoy the bank holiday weekend x

Basking in the warm yesterday a viviparous or better known a common lizard . Found in woodland, grassy areas and heathland it loves to soak up the sunshine . It is unusual among reptiles as it gives birth to live young rather than laying eggs. It will shed its tail still moving to distract its attacker which will then regrow be it a bit shorter. It's the only reptile that is native to Ireland . How lucky are we to have them and to see them basking at the rescue . X

We have a couple of lovebirds that need a new home . Unfortunately they can't be together as they just don't get on and there is certainly no love between them ! They are happily single birds so will be homed separately. If you have the experience with these birds and can offer a home please email on [email protected]
We do ask for a small donation when rehomed. You would need a cage for them . X
