Rosie Quinn, who founded the organization in Sioux Falls, said Second Chance Rescue may be on its last legs. They've seen a "dramatic" drop in donations and can't afford to pay the staff. She's blaming the economy. But was it something else as well?
Perhaps it has something to do with her involvement in the County's animal cruelty charges against dog breeder Dan Christensen. The warrant against him was illegally obtained, the charges were dropped (all 172 counts!), and he has returned fire with another suit of his own. That kinda taints your record, doesn't it?
They also lost city and county animal control contracts to a lower bidder.
If they do close, the animals will have to be absorbed into the other available shelters.
The lesson here is, once again, keep your ducks in a row. Respect the animals, respect their owners (regardless of who they are or whether you like them or not), and respect the law.
Regardless of what happens next, I hope the animals do well.
