There are many ways you can help Second Chance Wildlife Center. 
DONATE ONLINE! We have an account with Paypal and you can make a secure, online payment using your credit card
or your own paypal account. You can choose a one-time donation, or set up monthly donations by choosing the Payment Plan button (the $25.00 value is a default value only; it may be changed to any value you want).
We always welcome cash contributions to defray expenses. People often make a donation in honor of a special event or person, or to remember a loved one - animal or human. If you would like to make a difference, you may mail us a check or stop by our Center to give us a cash donation.
You can donate stocks to Second Chance and claim the
full value of the chairtable gift on your tax Form 1040. Second Chance is able to accept donations of stocks, bonds, and mutural fund shares. Call us for more details.
We rely heavily on volunteer help throughout the year. If you are interested in volunteering your time, check out the Volunteer Opportunities page.
Caring for approximately 5,000 animals a year is expensive. We are always in need of food items to supplement our stock. Last year for example, we used an average of two and a half pounds of
puppy chow per day during baby bird season in the spring. Please check out our Wish List for a list of food and supplies we gratefully accept.Second Chance is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization and all contributions are fully tax deductible as allowed by law.
Re-nesting Goslings
Although this is our slow season, we know that spring will come again and when it does, we will receive a large
number of orphaned/abandoned goslings (baby geese). Experience has proved that goose parents are often happy to
adopt orphaned babies. In fact, they will sometimes "kidnap" babies from other, less conscientious, parents.
We are looking for people who have ponds on their property, away from roads, where geese nest each year. If you
think you have a suitable pond, and wouldn’t mind an additional goose or two, please contact us. We will
send a representative to check out the area and, if suitable, will contact you when orphaned goslings are presented
to the center. If your geese have babies the same age as our orphans, we may be able to introduce our youngsters
to that family. Not only will that free up space at our center but the gosling will get the best possible care.
We do our best but we really cannot compete with a natural parent when it comes to raising a wild animal.
Please let us know if you would be interested in participating in this effort to find foster parents for the
young goslings. You can email us at wildchris@mindspring.com or call
between 9 and 5 any day at 301-926-9453.
