Second Chance Pet Adoptions, Inc.

On October 10, 2020, Laura and Josh Schroeder lost their son, Owen, a happy, active four-year-old with a great sense of humor and a love of animals, to an unexpected tragedy.

Last October, to celebrate Owen's memory, Josh and Laura hosted the First Annual Family Fun Day at Womble Park in Holly Springs. The event attracted dozens of families with a DJ, ice cream, inflatable slide, and kid-friendly activities. As part of the celebration, the Schroeders chose to partner with Second Chance Pet Adoption, a local animal rescue, to raise funds (over $7,000!) in Owen's name.

We invite you to join us on October 18, from 1-4, at Womble Park in Holly Springs, NC, for the Second Annual Family Fun Day. Stop by, meet some adoptable pets, and enjoy music, an inflatable slide, ice cream, and, new this year, Lego-building and paper airplane-flying contests (with prizes)! This family-friendly event is entirely free of charge, and all donations made through this GoFundMe or in-person will go directly to Second Chance Pet Adoption.

Your contribution will help give animals a second chance at a happy life, just as Owen brought so much happiness to everyone who knew him. We hope you can join us in celebrating Owen's memory and supporting a cause that reflects the joy he embodied.

At just 8-10 months old this cutie got dealt a tough hand! We aren’t sure what caused the trauma, but our best guess is he was hit by a car. Though this kid must’ve been in excruciating pain when he arrived at the shelter, still bleeding, he showed everyone how much of a gem he is by continuing to wag his tail through it all!!!

Just as we were getting a plan in place for him, he was misdiagnosed with parvo virus. We sent him to the vet where he was hospitalized as a precaution. Thank goodness it was a false positive test, and he was able to get back on the surgery schedule!

This angel needs our help now. If you can do all or any of the following, Roy and his Second Chance Pet Adoptions family will be eternally grateful!

*Donate! Any amount is appreciated!

*Share! Share on your personal page as well as in any groups you’re in!

*Foster! Roy will need a foster after he gets surgery. His surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, so we’d love to have him in a foster home before the weekend.

*Pray if you pray. Send out good vibes to the universe.

Thank you in advance for your help!
