Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Who is behind Second Chance Sanctuary?

Hey, I’m Isla! I’m 13 years old and the founder of Second Chance Sanctuary. I started this because I believe every animal deserves a second chance at happiness.

While I’m a teen, I handle the heavy lifting: species-specific research, habitat design, partnership coordination, and long-term planning. I’m proof that age doesn’t limit your impact when you have a solid vision and a deep commitment to animal welfare.

Why should I support Second Chance Sanctuary?

Because you are joining a mission that refuses to overlook any species. Your support fuels our Foundational Phase—allowing us to secure professional partnerships, plan medical-grade enclosures, and provide specialized nutrition for animals that other rescues might not have the expertise to handle. You aren't just a donor; you are a hero helping us build a new standard for rescue.

How do I stay in the loop?

The best way to see the magic happen is to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook! That’s where we share behind-the-scenes research, sneak peeks of our plans, and plenty of "Secret News" teasers. You can also sign up for our newsletter to get the biggest updates delivered straight to your inbox.

I have a question about my donation—what do I do?

I’m here to help! Just email me at [email protected], and I’ll get back to you as fast as a puppy chasing a squeaky toy. Whether you have questions about our non-profit status, our current research, or how to get involved, I’m always happy to chat. Every message helps us grow!
