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.

It has certainly been very cold these last couple of days and we have bedded everything down in deep straw and extra blankets to keep them all warmer . We are also wearing thermals and as many layers as possible even if we can't move much ! Most of the animals have a thick winter coats now and are used to the cold . Our outside cats get lots of food and have loads of warm barns and places to sleep. When the sun breaks through they along with the other animals are lined up in the sunshine which, when out is still warm.
We are still getting our grotto ready for Santa and we will soon be greeting you all to our events . We still have spaces and if you are prepared to wait you can turn up on the day to see Santa. Even if you have no children you are more than welcome to visit us and have a browse , tea and cake . First one is Saturday 28th Nov and we look forward to seeing you all. X
Ps Our new calendar at £8.99 is available to buy on the door too .

These beauties are still waiting for the right home . The two tabbies are a bonded pair and we would like to see them go to a home together if possible. We would love to see them settled in a new home quite soon as from mid December all rehoming will be put on hold until after Christmas as we don't encourage a pet as a present for Christmas. We hope you understand that no cats , rabbits or guinea Pigs will be available until January. If you like the look of these please email [email protected]
Please be patient as we go through the emails in order . Thank you x

Our two boys are certainly looking fabulous and are loving life. Tyson has a thick winter coat and is very well rounded so at the moment doesn't require a rug . Joey has a rain sheet on just to keep him dry and a bit warmer. Both of them are happy living out and get on well together . Tyson always comes down for a fuss whoever goes by and Joey is just plain naughty at times . Two boys that have had a chance of life from being so poorly to fit, fat healthy boys who we all love so much .x

Time is going so quickly and we are well into preparing for our Christmas events. Father Christmas is popping by very soon to make sure his grotto is as cosy as usual! The stalls are slowly taking shape and we are dusting off the kettles for tea making. Bookings are going well for both children and dogs but you can just pop by for tea and cake and a chat.

This is our main winter fundraiser for all our animals so come along and enjoy a couple of hours with us. We look forward to seeing you all x

Least we forget we remember today all the men, women and animals that have served over the years towards our freedom . We salute you all .x

As the weather is turning cold, foggy and maybe snow on the horizon we thought a photo shoot of our silver foxes looking fabulous in their winter coats . They love the cold and will stay outside in all weather quite happily. They have lovely snuggly beds inside to go into but they will happily lay watching the world go by. They tuck their amazing tails round themselves to keep warm . We do increase their food intake for all our exotics during the winter months to give them that extra layer of fat to keep them warm although they all have extra warm coats this time of year as nature intends. Love these two boys x

Can you help us support Joey , Tyson , Paddy donkeys and our other rescue horses . We need to keep the weight on them before winter hits hard and they are all doing really well but just need a meal a day . They have constant hay to munch on and the grass is starting to appear again . If you can help us to help them we would be so grateful. The links to donate are below and yet again thank you .x

**HAPPY UPDATE | BONNIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED**

✨ Bonnie | Available For Adoption ✨
💌 [email protected]

A little patience, a peaceful home and so much love waiting in return ❤️

Meet Bonnie, a beautiful 7 month old girl with the gentlest nature. Sweet, shy and utterly adorable, she’s getting braver by the day and needs a loving family who will give her time to find her confidence 🥰

Loud noises and busy surroundings can feel overwhelming for Bonnie, so she often takes comfort in her cosy safe spot. But when things are quiet, she’s the first to pop out to greet you, ready for cuddles, nose boops and playtime!

This affectionate little girl loves being held and soon turns into a purr machine when she’s enjoying a snuggle. There’s a playful, loving personality blossoming beneath that timid exterior, and watching her grow in confidence is such a joy 🐾

Bonnie is so loved by us all. Now she needs a warm, peaceful forever home where she can feel secure and discover just how lovely life with her own family can be. We guarantee that you’ll fall in love with her as soon as you meet her.

Bonnie is looking for:
▶ A calm, quiet home with cosy places to feel safe
▶ A patient, gentle family who will let her settle at her own pace
▶ Affection, cuddles and playtime as her confidence grows
🚫 A home with no young children
🚫 A home with no other cats or dogs

Could you give Bonnie the reassurance, companionship and love she deserves? Please email us to express your interest. There is a rehoming fee ❤️

✨ Muffin | Available For Adoption ✨
💌 [email protected]

Looking for a fluff who makes you her whole world? Meet Muffin 🥰 This beautiful girl is approximately 18 months old and has two things in abundance: love and energy!

Muffin puts her whole heart into being affectionate. Expect her to follow you everywhere, climb up your legs for cuddles and perch on your shoulders for a ride. Personal space? She’d much rather share yours! ❤️

She loves curling up on your lap, being held like a baby and wrapping her paws around you for a snuggle. Muffin craves companionship and wants nothing more than to be close to her favourite people.

And when it’s time to play, she’s all in! Every toy is an invitation, every corner needs exploring and her super zoomies are sure to bring plenty of laughter.

She needs a family who will embrace her lively personality and enjoy keeping her busy. Some of that excitement may settle as she finds her feet in a loving home but, her family should be ready for an energetic companion 🐾

Muffin is looking for:
▶ Plenty of company, attention and cuddles
▶ A family who will enjoy her energy and enthusiastic affection
▶ Lots of playtime and space to explore
▶ A home with older children. She may be a little boisterous for younger ones.
🚫 A home with no dogs

Could you be Muffin’s favourite person? If you have room in your heart, and on your lap and shoulders, please email us to express your interest. There is a rehoming fee ❤️
