Our Mission

Our mission is to help animals in need of medical care, provide affordable resources for spay / neuter to decrease overpopulation and decrease medical problems associated with being intact. 


We help with placement of animals into new homes when first line resources are not available. We assist good Samaritans trying to help animals in their community. 


Our organization is dedicated to Bradford, the epitome of what can happen when you give an animal a second chance after the world has failed them.

About the founder

Dr. Megan Gottschalk

Bradford's Second Chance Rescue was founded in honor of Brad (aka Bradford), the worlds most amazing dog. Brad was dealt a tough hand - from originally being found as a stray in Camden County New Jersey to being shuffled around homes for numerous reasons until he found his permanent home at 7 years old. 

Our Story

Dr. Gottschalk had always loved rescue and shelter medicine, but the bond they formed changed her forever. She knew her calling was to spend her life helping animals like him get another chance.

Our Adventures

Brad had accompanied her through her Master's and Doctorate degree, moving to 4+ states, 2 cross country road trips and countless adventures together. Brad also lead by example- being the best foster brother over 50+ animals before his passing in December of 2024. 

Support Our Rescue Efforts Today

Your generous donations help us provide shelter, food, and medical care for animals in need. Together, we can give these pets a second chance at life. Every contribution makes a difference and brings hope to those who need it most.
