Second Time Around

Welcome to Second Time Around

Hi Tim Nicholson here, I'm one of the owners and operators here at Second Time Around, the main purpose of Second Time Around is the Rescue of Abused, Neglected, Abandoned and Slaughter bound horses and other animals. If this is your first time to our website we'd like to Welcome you and hope you will take advanage of our service in some way if you believe in what where doing and don't have need of our service we'd love to invite you to make a Sponsor or Donate as running a rescue ranch takes lots of money to operate because the need is so great, Our gates are open to all animals and people, If you know or even think a animal is being abused in some way Please contact your local police, Humane Society, or veterinarian. Don't wait till it's to late you can also Contact Us We'll make that call for you. Let's work together and put a end to all this foolishness. If your finding yourself in a time of your life that having a animal has added stress to you, Please don't have the animal put down or left unloved contact us we will give them a home till you work things out.

Our Mission

Is to provide a safe haven for abused, neglected, special needs, forgotten, thrown away, animals, to provide them with love, proper care and rehabilitation, and to hopefully place them with loving caring families as a adopted member of their family or a full time member. I run and started Second Time Around as I got so tired of reading how beautiful, loving, loyal animals rewards in life was to be sent to a slaughter house, or put down or even worse left to die in barns, fields or tied to a rope, because they became a burden, or thier owners lost or forgot the reason they got the animal in the first place.

Is Horse Ownership For You?

If your thinking about owning a horse please take a moment and read this information a very wise and awesome lady has put together BonnieJeanne Gorden from tarafarmrescue.org. Some people don’t fully realize how expensive it is to own a horse and care for it properly. Then they get in over their heads and need to get rid of the horse. They also may not think about how long a horse can live, or what they’ll do if they have to move. For a summary of these and other issues, please read: Before You Get A Horse.

Fostering A Animal

In order to foster a animal, you must fill out the foster agreement and mail it to us. We will review your application and possibly schedule a visit to your facility. If your application is approved. We will transport your foster animal but you will be asked to pay part of the cost as we run on a very tight budget.

Adoption Agreement

Requirements of one of Our animals are not complicated. Our animals needs shelter from bad weather, constant access to fresh water, regular feeding and grooming, and regular check-ups from the Veterinarian and Farrier snd most of all Lots Of Love .
Our animals don't need a show quality barn environment, expensive tack and grooming devices. All they need is to be brushed, cared for, loved and respected most of all. There are many homes that can provide this environment to our special animals. Some of the animals, by their very presence at our ranch, may need additional special care. All potential adoptive owners will be screened to assure that the animal's needs (either general or special) shall be perfectly suited with the adoptive home. The adoption fees range according to the animal, As for our horses it depends solely on the age and usefulness of the horse. A medical disclosure is made available to the adopter to advise, in writing, of any known lameness or illness or injury. Also covered in the document will be recommended health care schedules and farrier schedules. The adoptive home will agree to (as much as possible) stick to the routines outlined by the experienced staff at Second Time Around.
Anyone thinking about Adopting from Second Time Around will need to print off and agree to Our Adoption Agreement and Adoption Application. Adopting an animal is a lifetime commitment. Take your time and visit the animals often before making a decision. Once your adoption is approved, we will make an appointment to deliver the animals to you and help you settle them in.

Putting Your Heart Into It!

Adopt and Permanent homes needed for rescue horses. Some have special needs, some just need some good ol' down home loving care.

If you have a little extra room in your barn and in your heart, please help the horses. At the moment we have no horses, but this doesn't mean the gates won't be knocked down tomorrow so we are taking applications.

Let's work together to Ban horse slaughter in Canada for human consumption and the export of horses for the same purpose
