Pros: Lots and Lots

Cons: Only Con I can see is that we have way too many cute and lovable animals...but really is that a con? lol

What can I say about Second Chance? Well, Second Chance has had a Great Impact on my life. I have been envolved with Second Chance since 2005. You see I did my internship here. I was a Animal Care Student at Becker, very shy and quiet. That was before Second Chance. Working with the animals by cleaning cages, playing with the cats and walking the Dogs really helped me to come out of my shell, I had found a purpose and a goal...I was part of something much more than myself. I was helping Pets in need to find homes. Having Been a Vet Tech Student a Becker, it wasn't long till I found myself helping with the Animal's Medical Needs...By the End of the summer, I'd found more then just a place for myself...I'd also found a very sweet boy who also loves animals...I met my Fencee Devon here at Second Chance...I still remember the day he asked me out for the first Time, I was cleaning a Cat cage (the bottom one, of course) and I had my whole front half in the cage when he whipped open the door and asked me out to go have Ice Cream. My head still hurts...But anyways back to the shelter, Soon after I finished my internship, I was offered a position to be the Kennel Manager, an invation I glady excepted. That was in January of 06...well as we all know working in a shelter you wear many hats and it turns out my Medical backround became very handy and I'm now not only involved in animal care, I also work as the Clinical Manger and as the Small Animal Director...So how have I changed since I joined the SCAS Family...I am more outgoing and a lot happier...I found the love my life both in a boy and in a Dog (our Dog Ranger was adopted from Second Chance) and I have lots of Friends, no lets call them more of a faimly here at the shelter...so if your interested in adopting a Pet, come by, we'd be more than happy to make your family part of our Family...~Kristen

Great job Kris, Thanks for all you do for the animals. Even if I did drive you crazy when we were adopting Stormy, we just couldn't wait to get her home, and now she is here chewing American Girl Dolls :) Also thank you for coming to our Girl Scout meeting and teaching the girls about animal care and safety and for the infomation packets you gave them. Keep up the good work :)

I'm not sure if you included the word "patience" in your entry, Kristen - if not, you should have. I love volunteering at Second Chance - thank you for teaching me how to. I've still got a long way to go in the learning part and you make it a whole lot of fun getting there. Thank you. I get so much more out of Second Chance than any effort I could ever put into it. Where else on earth could I walk into a room and have the occupants rise and greet me with cries of anticipation? And when I'm leaving, I carry the sweet sounds of contentment home with me. It's great!
