About Second Chance Animal Aid

Founder

SCAA was founded by Carol A. Wolfson in 2005. Ms. Wolfson is an international business consultant who has been involved with children and animal charities in Asia throughout the 25 years she has worked in the region. She was on the fundraising board of WWF in HK and helped create/edit their members’ magazine from 1991-2001. She has served on the Worldwide Board of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) 2002-2005 and currently raises funds for IFAW’s projects in China. Like all animal lovers in Shanghai, she is extremely concerned about the plight of homeless and mistreated companion animals and believes that through SCAA’s support of worthy existing local projects/organizations and the education of the public and young people, both the expatriate and local community can save many more of Shanghai’s domestic animals from lives of abandonment, suffering and death. But WE NEED YOUR HELP!

Foster Parents

One of SCAA’s primary initiatives is securing foster parents to take care of homeless animals (SCAA pays for all medical care but appreciates donations when possible by foster parents) until we can find these animals loving, permanent homes. We are always in desperate need of new foster parents, especially as the organization becomes better known and we are requested to foster increasing number of animals. We are very grateful to our current foster parents who generously donate their time, energy, funds and love to care for these animals in need.
