Privacy Policy

How Second Leash handles information submitted through this website and direct communications.

Effective date: July 22, 2026

Information we may collect

We may receive information you voluntarily provide by email, text, phone, application forms, donation platforms, or referral communications. This may include contact details, information about a dog, household information, case circumstances, donation records, and communications.

How information may be used

Information may be used to respond to requests, evaluate possible placements, coordinate care, process donations through third-party providers, recruit volunteers, maintain records, comply with law, protect safety, and improve services.

Sensitive information

Please do not submit unnecessary medical, treatment, criminal-case, financial-account, password, Social Security, or other highly sensitive information through ordinary email or text. Second Leash may request limited information needed for placement or legal authority through a more appropriate process.

Sharing

Information may be shared only as reasonably necessary with authorized volunteers, fosters, veterinary providers, transporters, referral partners, service providers, legal authorities, or other parties involved in safety and care. We do not sell personal information.

Third-party services

Donation, form, analytics, email, hosting, and social-media services may have their own privacy practices. Review those services before submitting information. This template does not activate analytics or advertising cookies.

Security

No online system is completely secure. We use reasonable practices appropriate to our size and resources, but cannot guarantee absolute security.
