Plano is a suburb of Dallas, Texas. Situated to the north of Dallas, Plano is rapidly expanding, and with this expansion, the city is seeing an increase in homeless pets. With two animal shelters in the city, many of these homeless animals are being taken off the streets and cared for. Both the Plano Animal Shelter and the Second Chance SPCA are currently caring for hundreds of stray animals in the area.
The Second Chance SPCA is a non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in Plano. Since its opening in 2006, the rescue has taken at-risk dogs and cats from local animal shelters to spare them from being euthanized. The shelter provides animals in its care with food, water, shelter, and medical care. The animals are also given love and attention that they would not otherwise receive. Since 2006, the shelter has rescued more than 3,200 dogs and cats that were supposed to be euthanized at other shelters in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
The Plano Animal Shelter is part of the city government, so they receive most of their animals from the Animal Control department or owner surrenders. If the owner of a pet doesn’t claim it within the required holding period, the animal becomes the property of the city and then waits in the Plano Animal Shelter until it can find a new home.
If you live in the Plano, Texas, area and are looking for a new pet, consider visiting one of these shelters to help an animal find a forever home.
