We believe that, like Noah, we are all called to responsible stewardship of all God's Creatures.

Second Noah was formed by two lifelong friends after both relocated to the Reed City, Michigan area. We are a non-profit, no-kill, organization. We are funded entirely by private donations and fundraisers. We recognized the tremendous need for responsible pet ownership, education, pet population control and resources for rescue and relocation.

We are against the release of pets to "Class B" dealers for sale to laboratories for medical experiments and product testing. We want to work with owners to find alternatives to surrendering their pets to facilities that practice such "pound release." In the past we have worked with other rescue groups. We have a list of resources to help owners find new loving homes should that need ever arise.

Osceola County, Michigan is one of only 11 counties remaining in the state that still release pound animals to research dealers.

We all need to work towards public awareness of the connection between animal abuse and abuse against people.
