Anyone Can Make a Difference For Animals in Need!

At Second Chance Animal Rescue (SCAR), we believe everyone can make a difference in their community to make the world a better place for companion animals and the people who love them.

If you want to support our mission but can’t make a financial donation, there are many other ways to help! Check out all the meaningful ways you can help SCAR by supporting the Friends of SCAR below:

Container Deposit Scheme

Help protect both pets and our planet at the same time!

With the Container Deposit Scheme, you can swap eligible drink containers for 10 cents per bottle and allocate those proceeds to support Second Chance Animal Rescue.

It’s simple!

  1. Collect eligible drink containers marked with the 10c mark on the label
  2. Find your nearest refund point and bring your collection down to donate
  3. When making your container deposit, enter our Donation Partner ID: C2000003202 and the funds will be donated directly to SCAR!

Every donation, no matter what size, plays a big role in aiding our efforts to provide for vulnerable animals in need, so get involved today!
