Second Chance Ranch is a 501c3 nonprofit animal rescue sanctuary
dedicated to equine welfare, specializing in rehabilitation,
adoption and transitioning of race horses. We are located in Elma, Washington, in Grays
Harbor County (we are NOT affiliated with the Second Chance Ranch
organizations in Sedro Woolley, Port Angeles, or Vancouver).
Animals are more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's
capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful
stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because
they have rights, power or a claim to equality, but in a sense,
because they don't. They all stand unequal and powerless before us."

SCR
is currently housing 33 horses with a long
waiting list. We need immediate funding for
feed.
Please remember Second Chance
Ranch this holiday season, and all the wonderful
animals that we serve. Our immediate need is
funding for hay and feed. Our fund for
Veterinary, farrier and other overhead costs to
house the horses has run dry. We need your help
this holiday season!

Thoroughbreds who came off track in both 2007 and 2008
are in various stages of training ... all are sound,
healthy and ready to go! See our

Meet
Charlie Faye. This beautiful filly came to us on October
14th, 2008. While trying to decide on a name for her I
learned that a friend and supporter of SCR, Charlene
Faye Warr, had passed away on October 13th, 2008.
Charlene shared our compassion for animals and was a
supporter of many charities. When her family told me
that she had asked for her ashes to be spread amongst a
herd of wild horses, I was so touched that I asked if I
could honor Charlene by naming our new rescue filly
after her. Like Charlene, the filly (Charlie) has a
remarkable spirit and a magical quality that we all
adore! Charlene; may your ashes dwell with wild horses
and your enduring spirit live on in Charlie Faye!

Downs. His new name is "Chance".
