About Me

Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate the euthanasia of adoptable animals throughout Northern California. Since our founding in 1993, we have collectively saved over 15,000 animals, placing them in loving, permanent homes. We also provide spay/neuter services, animal advocacy and humane education in schools and in after school programs, and community outreach on the benefits of spay/neutering and the critical need for animal adoption.From our offices in Oakland and Novato, hundreds of volunteers and a small staff work tirelessly with shelters to rescue animals at risk of euthanasia. We take a multifaceted approach to finding permanent, stable and loving homes for our rescued friends: they are fostered in a home environment, evaluated for temperament, and many receive basic training to make them better companions for the people who will ultimately take them home.The dogs and cats featured on this website are accompanied by information on their temperament and needs. You may also find and meet a pet through our Mobile Adoption program—held each weekend in various locations—or through our permanent Bay Area cat adoption sites. We offer behavioral advice and post-adoption support to new pet owners.Hopalong & Second Chance Animal Rescue prides itself on being accessible and responsive to the community. Our goal is to match you with the animal that will best fit into your lifestyle. MyGen Profile Generator

My Interests

Hopalong does not only do rescue, foster, and adoption out of city shelters. We also do educational events in local schools, have a pet survivor program so that people can prepare for their pets in the event they become unable to care for them, have a youth program, do community outreach and spay/neuter education, and much, much more. We were heavily involved in disaster relief in New Orleans following hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

We get involved wherever we can, thanks to volunteers and donors just like you!

I'd like to meet:

People who care about companion animals are encouraged to get involved. We have numerous volunteer opportunities, from foster homes, to administrative needs. If you aren't able to volunteer, please consider making a donation! Every little bit helps. 80 cents out of every dollar Hopalong receives goes directly towards animal rescue and care.

Make a difference for a furry one today!

Heroes:

Nothing that Hopalong does would be possible without our amazing volunteers and donors. Thanks to all of you who make Hopalong who we are!
