American Humane Announces Expansion of Second Chance Fund Grant

Program for Animal Welfare Agency Members

Deadline: Open

Through its Second Chance Fund, the American Humane Association (

http://www.americanhumane.org/ ) provides financial assistance, in

select cases, to animal welfare organizations and breed- specific

rescue groups responsible for the temporary care of animals as they

are prepared for adoption into permanent homes. The program provides

animal victims of abuse or neglect with a second chance at life.

Due to the overwhelming number of abuse cases nationwide, the Second

Chance Fund is offered only to organizations that are current agency

members of the American Humane Association, and only in select cases

of animal abuse or neglect.

Individuals, businesses, corporations, and non-member organizations

are not eligible. Funding to any one agency is limited to $2,000 per

fiscal year. For the remainder of 2007 and in 2008, American Humane

will be doubling the total financial assistance provided. This

additional grant funding is a result of American Humane's partnership

with Pedigree Food for Dogs ( http://www.pedigree.com/ ).

More information about Second Chance Fund grants, including stories of

animals who have benefited from getting a second chance, can be found

at the American Humane Association Web site.
