Tyson's Chance is a nonprofit animal rescue based in Shelbyville, KY. Their primary focus is the rescue of special needs animals.
A majority of their adoptable animals are seniors, medical cases, and those with social or behavioral issues. We also provide hospice care to terminally ill animals who have been relinquished to shelters or given up by their owners.
We love to heal the sick, rehabilitate the misunderstood, and provide safe haven for those in their golden years.
Tyson's Chance is a 501(c)(3) and is funded entirely by donations.
They are raising money to buy the facility they have been renting for nine years and we are hoping to help. All net proceeds from the Pupkin Spice 5k Run/3k Walk will be donated to Tyson's Chance to help them to realize their dream.
