Giving with Gopin Highlights Second Chance Wildlife Rescue and Habib the Rescue Animal

At the Law Offices of Michael J. Gopin, PLLC, giving back to the El Paso community is more than a mission — it’s a responsibility. In this month’s episode of Giving with Gopin, we had the privilege of visiting Second Chance Wildlife Rescue, a local nonprofit dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and protecting wildlife in our region.

Visiting Second Chance Wildlife Rescue

Our team spent time on site learning firsthand about the organization’s mission, daily operations, and the vital role they play in caring for injured, orphaned, and displaced wildlife. Second Chance Wildlife Rescue has become a trusted resource for the El Paso area, providing compassionate care while working toward the ultimate goal of releasing animals back into their natural habitats whenever possible.

During the visit, we spoke with the team about the challenges wildlife rescues face, the importance of community education, and how local support helps sustain their lifesaving work.

Meet Habib: A Very Special Rescue

One of the most memorable moments of the episode was meeting Habib, a sweet 9-year-old rescue animal who has become a beloved resident of Second Chance Wildlife Rescue. Habib’s gentle nature and story highlight exactly why organizations like this are so important.

Meeting Habib offered a powerful reminder of the impact that rescue efforts have — not just on individual animals, but on the broader ecosystem and community as a whole.
