If you have a passion for animals and want to give back to your community, a local organization is hoping you'll consider giving them a hand.
Second Chance for Pets aims to provide relinquished, neglected and abused animals with homes. Generally you'll notice their animals walking up and down Center Street during the Apple and Pork Festival, but according to the organization, they don't have many animals to adopt, but they need foster homes.
That's Irene Sloat, a volunteer with Second Chance for Pets. Christina Deerwester indicates they will also work a family that may be on the brink of losing their animal for financial reasons.
Additionally, Second Chance for Pets over the Apple and Pork weekend was promoting their spay/neuter clinics. The clinics are low cost and even offer financial assistance if that is something you need.
