Evacuated Pets
If you are looking for an evacuated pet, visit the Second Chance Animal Rescue Society’s Community Support and Disaster Response reunification page. When communities are impacted by natural disasters, families and animals are sometimes separated. When asked, SCARS will step in to help care for displaced or evacuated animals until their families can be located.
Please view this page to see if your pet is one of the unidentified animals in our care.
The SCARS Morinville Rescue Centre
Since 2022, SCARS has cared for animals at our Athabasca Second-Chance Country Refuge and through volunteers foster homes. We expanded in October 2022 with the opening of our Morinville Rescue Centre.
Please note that the facility is open to the public by appointment only as a meet-and-greet location for those who apply to adopt an animal.
We continue to see an alarming trend in requests to help animals. In addition to adopting, donating, and spaying or neutering your own pets, a great way to help animals is to support the events that help fund our operations!
Lost-and-found Pets
SCARS intakes strays from numerous areas, usually in conjunction with bylaw/animal control, in Morinville, Strathcona county, Sturgeon County, Athabasca (and sometimes others). SCARS Morinville Rescue Centre holds animals in concert with local bylaw animal control. We contact owners through identification if found (microchip, tattoo, etc.); if no owner information can be found, we list the animals on our Lost and Found Pets page.
