Since 2007, A Second Chance Animal Shelter has been a safe haven for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats in Clarendon County, South Carolina. As a low-kill/no-kill shelter, our mission has always been simple but powerful: to give every animal a second chance at life and love. Through adoptions and partnerships with trusted rescue organizations, we have rehabilitated and re-homed thousands of animals—and we won’t stop until every animal finds their forever family.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, our work relies entirely on the generosity of supporters like you—through donations, volunteer efforts, and proceeds from our A Second Chance Thrift Store in Manning, SC. That’s why we’re excited to host our 2nd Annual Smokin' Fur A Cause

The Sizzling BBQ COOK-OFF & Festival!

: a fun, family-friendly event where the community can come together to enjoy great food, friendly competition, and, most importantly, support the animals who depend on us.

Every ticket, and donation directly helps provide food, medical care, and shelter for our furry friends. Whether you come to taste the best BBQ in town, volunteer, or make a donation, you’re helping us move closer to our goal: a world where no animal is left behind.

Join us for Smokin' Fur A Cause and be part of something bigger—because every bite brings hope to a homeless animal.
