Being a Friend

Hello again to all of our family and friends around the world! We don't always get the chance to tell you, but all of us at Second Chance Rescue are thankful for your continued support and encouragement. Without it, our sanctuary would not be in the position it is today, nor would we call such awesome people our friends.

Speaking of friends, you might be wondering: "Why do they call us that? We've never met."

There's a reason for that, so let us explain.

Because of social media, we are always together. Experts refer to this as "mobile marketing," which basically means a personal interaction between an organization and its consumers or followers.

Every time you "like" a picture of one of our residents - whether it be a dog, cat, bird, or reptile - you help us learn what is important to you. Every time you comment on our statuses or share your stories with our social media staff, we get the chance to engage with each of you; we get to know you personally.

Many of you have shared with our team that you would like to adopt an animal. This gives us the opportunity to help you find a new family member and bring boundless joy into your life, which is something worth celebrating.

So, as you can see, we help one another grow, prosper, and live happier lives. Doesn't that sound like friendship to you? We think so!

This week, we have a challenge for the friends of Second Chance Rescue. It's very simple: help us make more friends.

How can you do that? It's as easy as one, two, three!
1. Tell a friend about Second Chance Rescue: tag them in a post, share a picture, send them a message - whatever works for you.
2. Bring a friend to volunteer. We're sure they'll fall in love just as quickly as you did.
3. Fill out a membership recommendation form at our office; we'll reach out to your friend and get them connected with our team.

Finally, we always want to make sure we're being good friends. For this reason, we want to reaffirm our commitment to respecting your privacy. We realize that through our interactions with one another, it is possible to learn some important information. However, our privacy policy is in place to make sure this sensitive information is never shared with any other parties.

Many of you are subscribed to our email newsletters and text updates. Please keep in mind you always have the option to opt out of these notifications, but we do hope you'll stay connected with Second Chance Rescue.

If you ever have questions, comments, concerns, or opinions you'd like to share with our staff, please do so.

Once again, thank you for being a friend to the hundreds of animals who need one. Your support does not go unnoticed.
