Second Acts distributes 100% of all donations received to small, volunteer-run groups nationwide that adopt a no-kill policy. Second Acts is a very unique animal organization, they fund raise on behalf of animal rescue groups! Here is a recent video of their success stories.

She is an ambassador for the Best Friends Animal Society , a major non-profit in animal rescue and adoption. Better Buddies’ mission is to shift society’s focus to adoption as the means to find a pet and to make no-kill kennels the way to find pets.
