Not only did he do whatever was possible for people but his caring nature extended to their four legged companions. All pets found a soft spot in his heart and even though we are still devastated by his sudden passing, we continue to carry out the efforts he put in place many years ago to help our furry friends. Our family is comforted that his legacy continues because of Second Chance Animal Services’ long commitment to providing low-cost vaccines for pets in our community”
