Mission Statement
Dryden’s own Second Chance Pet Network provides a safe haven for surrendered and abandoned animals, pending their adoption into loving, forever homes.


Vision Statement
To help control the pet population in Dryden and surrounding area through spaying and neutering and to have all pets adopted into loving, forever homes.

We are a not for profit organization who relies on the generous donations from the citizens of Dryden and surrounding area. Donations are graciously accepted with charitable receipts provided for all cash donations of $20 and over. Second Chance Pet Network is a registered charity, #85116 7858 RR0001.

To help with the cost of shelter, food and litter, we run a flea market at the shelter site. We accept donations of gently used items (please, no clothing). These items are available for a monetary donation – we only require that the donation amount be reasonable in relation to the value of the items received.

We also manage the feral cat colonies at Dryden’s Hwy 502 and Barclay Landfill sites, as well as the landfill site in Sioux Lookout, through a T-N-R program (trap-neuter-return). We accept donations of cat/dog food, Canadian Tire money or Extra Foods superbucks for the Food for Pets program for Dryden’s Food Bank. Recently, a low cost spay/neuter program has been put in place. A Kidz Klub is also available for children to participate in.

New members and volunteers welcome. We are currently in need of foster homes so we can start giving dogs a second chance as well. We accept volunteers of all ages. To foster an animal or to become a Friend of Second Chance Pet Network, please download and fill out our SCPN Friends Application & Waiver (pdf).


Help create a shelter by purchasing a brick for $25.

A permanent shelter to service Dryden, Sioux Lookout and the surrounding areas is desperately needed. Please donate to our Build-a-Shelter, Brick-by-Brick campaign. A $25 donation will purchase one brick in your name or in honour of someone else or in memory of a loved one or just because. Check out the campaign board at the shelter.
