What is Dance for a Paws about?
If only dancing could save lives like Basanti did for Veeru in Sholay. But wait, we think it can!
Join us for a fun night of dancing and great food as we bring together an incredible community of people working towards bettering the lives of dogs. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just love to move to the beat, our very first fundraiser promises to be an unforgettable experience and a great opportunity for you to dance to save some lives and enable us to keep fighting the good fight.
What can you expect at the event?
As if saving some lives was a small cause – but that’s not all!
As you sway and twirl on the dance floor, you’ll be learning from no ordinary dance workshop, but one especially curated for this occasion by Ahaad Salman and Bindu Bolar, and dance the night away to DJ Vanshi’s incredible set.
You will also get to indulge in a delectable spread of food and drinks, from tantalizing appetizers to refreshing beverages. We’ve got something to satisfy every palate, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic lip smacking options!
How can you attend/participate?

Our title sponsors for the event will match the donation generated through ticket sales, so we are really counting on you to do your bit!
Since coming into existence in August 2022, Second Chance Sanctuary has rescued close to 500 dogs, 300+ cruelty cases, and facilitated nearly 400 adoptions. All we need now is a little help from you to show the true meaning of community, and to come together for this incredible initiative.
So let’s dance the night away while making a difference in the lives of animals in need. Your support means a second chance for animals at Second Chance Sanctuary. Let’s move and groove for a pawsome cause! 🌟

Sam has been completely trained in basic obedience, muzzle conditioning, crate training, desensitization, impulse control which makes him a dream dog to adopt. His only non negotiable is that he doesn’t like any other animals but that’s okay because he’s happy to walk calmly on the streets in a muzzle and ignore any triggers around him.
Sam loves his space and a free run of the land but he likes to come back to a bed to sleep. He would be the perfect dog for a farm, estate or independent home but we are very specific on our conditions for him. He’s happy to be in a kennel but his kennel space will be what we specify, he needs a bed, he cannot be kenneled for more than 6 hours a day, absolutely no chaining or tying this dog up. He’s not a guard dog but his sheer size makes him a great deterrent for any intruders so if you want a dog who will protect your home then Sam is the dog for you. Homes with young children are not suitable. Meat based diet and basic supplements are mandatory.

Meet Our Team
Sanjana Madappa
Sanjana Madappa has worked tirelessly for the last 9 years with the sole focus of improving the lives of our canine companions. She has always had a penchant for animals, and is an erstwhile equestrian.
Fondly known as the Rottweiler whisperer, her passion and single-mindedness in trying give dogs the best life possible has seen more than 3,500 dogs find their forever homes. These dogs have gone on to thrive in countries far and wide.
The fierceness with which she is protective of all the animals in her care is unmatched, and she will go to the ends of the Earth for each of them. Second Chance Sanctuary started off as her brain child, and is a culmination of all of this experience and passion combined.
Juhi Sheth
Juhi Sheth has had a deep passion and love for animals as long as she can remember.
Her work and education took her traveling abroad for years and when she moved back to India, the plight of the animals, especially our community dogs touched a deep chord in her. While abroad, she adopted a rescue who she made sure she brought back to India with her because you don’t leave family behind!
She began contributing to different animal welfare organisations financially, volunteering her time and her expertise in photography while joining different rescue squads in Bangalore to help out on ground. It was the next organic step for someone as passionate and a fierce advocate for animal welfare to step up to trusteeship so that she could do even more for the cause. A fantastic dog mom, businesswoman, rescuer, social media whiz, Juhi is a master of all traits and under her leadership, we hope to be able to not just achieve, but excel at what we have set out to do.
Melissa Marak
Though her educational qualification is in engineering, from the time she was a child, Melissa’s passion has been helping all types of animals.
She began volunteering in Bangalore in 2012 with various organizations along with rescuing dogs in distress on her own. She is currently mother to five beautiful rescue dogs and is our resident pro at handling medically critical cases. She has saved countless number of distemper and parvovirus infected dogs and puppies through her meticulous care that she gives them in her own home.
A powerhouse of a woman, she manages working a full time job, her adopted rescues as well as welfare work and her trusteeship in the organization with enviable ease. Under her mentorship, we are sure her passion and love for the dogs will be inculcated into each and every case that comes our way.
