Make a Difference
Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary houses and cares for exotic and abandoned wildlife that for whatever reasons cannot be released into the wild. The refuge was established in 1985 and is located on the Big Econ River in East Orlando on acres of pristine wetlands. At any given time, we have between 200 to 300 animals being cared for at our sanctuary.
You can help us support the livelihood of these animals by making a donation today. Second Chance Wildlife Sanctuary is a 501(c)(3) and all donations are 100% tax deductible. All donations go towards food, shelter, medical care and repair costs to help these animal get the second chance they deserve. Each donor will receive a donation acknowledgment and receipt. Thank you for your support.
