Our Sanctuary
Welcome area at Gail's Pets Second Chance
(Gail’s Pets Second Chance, a 501(c)(3) organization, exists solely to provide a haven for abandoned, unwanted, or abused pets while they await forever homes.
From the hands-on interaction provided by our all-volunteer crew, to the medical services rendered by our veterinarian and his staff, our goal is to provide compassionate care to these animals in need.
Our sanctuary is located in Oakland, Arkansas, in the Ozark Mountains on the shores of beautiful Bull Shoals Lake in the heart of the Ozarks. By auto, we are approximately two hours from Springfield, Missouri, and just over four hours from Little Rock and St. Louis.
We encourage prospective adoptive parents and other interested parties to visit our facility, where you will be greeted by a host of wonderful dogs and cats, most of whom are available for placement. A member of our staff will be happy to give you a tour of the sanctuary, and answer all of your questions regarding adoption, foster care, or volunteer opportunities. Please make sure to call 431-8229 and arrange a time with Gail BEFORE you drive out. We only show the dogs by a pre-arranged appointment time. We would hate for you to drive out and not have anyone around to show you the dogs. Thank you.
If you wish to surrender a dog you MUST have pre-approval from Gail before you drive to the rescue. NO EXCEPTIONS.
