About Second Chance Paws

Second Chance Paws was founded by Alex Martinez after repeatedly seeing families face the same heartbreaking problem — a dog urgently needing medical care, and no clear way to get help fast enough.

Alex noticed that many people deeply love their pets but don’t understand how to reach others online, tell their story effectively, or navigate fundraising platforms during a crisis. By the time they try to figure it out, time — and options — are already running out.

With experience in digital outreach and online campaigns, Alex realized there was a better way to help. Not by taking a cut of donations, but by using modern tools to connect urgent cases with people willing to help — quickly, transparently, and ethically.

Second Chance Paws was created to be that bridge.
