About Us

Second Chance Animal Adoptions, previously known as The Humane Society of Danville, is a stand alone non-profit 501c(3). This means we are 100% dependent on grants and donations.

We are a no kill shelter dedicated to the care and welfare of animals in our vicinity. Our mission is to provide safe shelter for animals in transition, serve as advocates for animals and their people, work to end animal overpopulation and educate the public about compassion and responsibility towards all animals.
