A night to help shelter animals is back for its third year. The Evening of Second Chances fundraiser gives back to people and pets.
The Second Chance Shelter in Jamesville partners with the Onondaga County Jail, allowing inmates to take care of the dogs, and for the dogs to give some love back.
The event will be at the Marriott Syracuse downtown later this week. Second Chance Shelter has several dogs they’re helping, all in foster homes. They had to be moved from the shelter due to the pandemic, but there’s one special dog that’s living there right now.
Jack was adopted by a veteran with PTSD. Exactly two years after Jack got adopted, his owner was killed. Now, Jack is back at the shelter, waiting to be adopted. He’s 3 years old, energetic and would be best in a home without other pets.
“He is absolutely just an absolute lover, so a family with kids that are maybe ten or up and that like to do things because he loves everybody that he meets and he loves to go on adventures, he loves to ride in the car,” said Georgette Fernandez, Second Chance Shelter dog trainer.
Money raised at this Friday’s fundraiser will help take care of Jack and animals like him in foster care.
Today is the last day to grab a ticket. The dinner, drinks and guest speakers will start at 6 p.m. this Friday. You can buy your tickets online, as well as check out the dogs that are up for adoption.
