Ali and Nick Yocca started rescuing animals over 10 years ago, starting with their first rescue, Chance; an American bulldog who at the time, was an older puppy. Ali and Nick love animals so much, they would get calls from friends, family, and friends of friends to help a pet in need. In 2019, they got a call from a family member to help rescue Rosy from owners who wanted to surrender her rather than take her to the vet. Rosy, was a look-a-like to Chance and their first rescue. This was the inspiration of the name "Second Chance Animal Rescue and Sanctuary". Ali and Nick have several rescues of their own and continue to answer the calls for animals in need.
