Our goal, by 2018 or sooner, is to reach a 90 percent or greater placement rate for all cats and dogs that come to us for rehoming. We are already way ahead of schedule. Every day, we strive to increase the number of pets saved through our “humane equation.” The Dumb Friends League has no set time limit for how long a pet can remain in our care. We use veterinary services, behavior programs, foster programs, special-needs adoption programs and placement partners to give as many pets as possible a second chance at a happy life in a new home. The Dumb Friends League is a no-suffering organization. They strive to relieve animal suffering, always keeping in mind the needs of the animal first. In some cases, this may lead to euthanasia, and may be at the request of pet owners who do not have or cannot afford veterinary care. At no time do we take the ending of a pet’s life lightly. Our staff devotes itself, just as a loving owner or veterinarian would, to treating each pet as a unique living being that deserves respect, care and love. We do not euthanize healthy animals. The Dumb Friends League is a preventative organization. They know, that to reduce the number of homeless pets entering our doors, we must focus on preventative measures. In our shelters, we microchip and spay/neuter the pets in our care. In the community, we offer subsidized spay/neuter services to underserved areas through the metro area, teach compassion and understanding of animals through our humane education programs, and work in conjunction with law enforcement to stop abuse and educate pet owners on responsible pet ownership. To better reach and impact our community, the Dumb Friends League is a proud partner of the Metro Denver Shelter Alliance (MDSA), a coalition of 25 public and private shelters, rescue groups and other animal-service providers committed to saving pets and fostering responsible pet ownership and regular veterinary care. By coming together as an alliance, we are able to place as many shelter and rescue animals as possible into loving homes within the far-reaching areas we serve.

SCWC is housed in an old Gaithersburg farmhouse surrounded by fields, woods, a marsh and a stream. Several spacious flight cages, small mammal enclosures and waterfowl pens are located on the adjacent lawns. Many recently released animals share the grounds with the permanent wild residents before moving on to establish their own niches in the surrounding fields and woods. Others are released at special sites such as nature centers and animal sanctuaries that are protected for wildlife. Each year, concerned citizens bring in thousands of native wildlife for medical treatment, attentive care and release. Founded by Christine Montuori, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator since 1986, who trained as a volunteer at a wildlife center in Bowie and obtained her State and Federal wildlife rehabilitation permits in 1986 and 1988, respectively. Working out of her home, she cared for as many as 1,200 animals per year and incorporated as Second Chance Wildlife Center in 1995. In June of 1996, she moved the operation to its present location in Gaithersburg. The facility, owned by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission, now treats an average 3,500 animals annually. SCWC rehabilitates orphaned, injured and ill songbirds, raptors, waterfowl, squirrels, groundhogs, chipmunks, bats, rabbits, turtles, and a host of other native species. Our volunteer staff veterinarian performs surgical procedures on site as needed. We thoroughly test the animals before they are released, to ensure that they have sufficient skills to survive in the wild. As a relatively new science, wildlife rehabilitation is a growing field. Innovations and advancements in care and treatment are constantly being made, and the staff and volunteers of SCWC keep abreast of these developments through networking with other rehabilitators; membership in state, national and international wildlife rehabilitation organizations; and attending conferences and training seminars. SCWC accepts admissions from 9:00AM to 5:00PM every day of the year. Staff, interns and volunteers work 10 to 14 hours per day caring for patients during the busy spring and summer months. SCWC was accredited by the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council in 1997 and was awarded the Governor’s Citation in October 1998. SCWC is a 501(c) non-profit organization and relies on public donations to continue its work. The average cost to rehabilitate a single wild animal is $75.00. Take some time to explore our web site to learn about what we do and how you can help us make a difference. Note: SCWC does not deal with domestic animals; for example feral/stray cats, domestic ducks, or “egg hatching projects”. Please call the Humane Society for issues concerning domestic animals.
