Second Chance Shelter - DeLand

On July 25, 2009, the City of DeLand’s Second Chance animal shelter opened to high expectations.  One year later, 53 dogs were rescued and 29 were reunited with their owners thanks to Second Chance. Cats fared even better with 139 cats rescued.

Managed by the DeLand Police Department, Second Chance is designed to house abandoned or lost domestic animals in a safe and secure holding area for a three day period. The holding period allows pet owners an opportunity to reclaim their pets by contacting the police department’s Animal Control Officer.

Here are some of the great dogs looking for a "Second Chance" in DeLand. Please pass along to any of your animal-loving friends!

This male tan and white shepherd mix is still just a puppy. Who can resist those cute floppy ears?


This female is a brindle and white female pit bull. 


The volunteers at Second Chance say they've never heard this sweet black chow bark. The dog was left behind by its owners after an eviction. 


This German Shepherd is an older dog, we estimate about 5 years old or better. It's obvious this dog has had some training. 


Since Second Chance is not designed for on-site adoptions those who wish to adopt an animal schould contact one of the rescue groups listed on the City’s web site at www.deland.org
