On a Kansas Prairie
You must live for a cause greater than yourself ~ My father, Edward Michael Luby, Captain, USN, was guided by these words taught to young midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy which he later passed down to my sister and me.
I found my cause 40 years ago when I brought two abandoned dogs from the streets of Puerto Rico to the states and began my journey in animal welfare.
The Second Chance Animal Refuge Society (SCARS) is a 501 (c) (3) no kill dog shelter located on 50 acres on the edge of the Kansas Flinthills. Homeless and abandoned dogs for miles around are treated for medical problems, exercised, socialized, and eventually adopted to forever homes. If they are never chosen for adoption they remain here where they are cared for and loved.
This journey has ushered over 1000 dogs on the road to SCARS. These are just a few of their heroic stories.

Another collection of stories by Maureen Cummins, an incredible woman who, with her husband and the help of animal loving, caring volunteers and donors, run a no kill dog shelter - The Second Chance Animal Refuge Society (SCARS) - in Kansas.
The stories are heart-whelming and sometimes heart-wrenching, but it is so clear that any lost, hurt, sick or abandoned dog that finds itself in the arms of Maureen, will know they have found a piece of heaven. She will do what it takes to heal their wounds AND their hearts and place them in homes where they will find the love and care they deserve.
