Second Chance Society

Make a legacy commitment today so they'll always get their second chance.

We invite you to join the Second Chance Society by making a minimum provision of $20,000 for the Humane Society for Hamilton County in your estate plan. Your remarkable commitment to the future of our organization will be honored with in-shelter recognition. Thanks to you, precious lives will be saved and second chances will be celebrated for years to come.

Member Recognition

As a Second Chance Society member, you will be recognized on the stunning Second Chance Society display located in the main hallway of our Canine Adoption Center – a prominent and central location in our beautiful facility.
