Hi Tim Nicholson here, Our Mission is to provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, special needs, forgotten, thrown away, animals, to provide them with love, proper care and rehabilitation, and to hopefully place them with loving caring families as a adopted member of their family or a full time member. I run and started Second Time Around as I got so tired of reading how beautiful, loving, loyal animals rewards in life was to be sent to a slaughter house, or put down or even worse left to die in barns, fields or tied to a rope, because they became a burden, or they lost the reason they got the animal in the first place.
