My Rescue
Login to Remember your Favorite Animals and Breeds!

 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is primarily a sanctuary for senior and medically needy dogs.  Every once in awhile you will see younger dogs but for the most part our dogs live out their life at the ranch at the request of their previous owners or their owners families.  We have many sponsorship dogs.  Our sponsors love to keep in touch and know how their sponsored fur buddy is doing :)
When we have foster families we are thrilled to be able to take adoptable younger dogs :)  So if you have ever thought about becoming fosters please feel free to go to our foster/volunteer page and fill out an application.
The Ranch located at 737 Taylor Rd., Windsor, PA is always looking for dedicated volunteers that will commit to at least a 2 hour shift per week at the rescue.  Volunteers work in play yards, help with laundry and feeding.  Some enjoy landscaping or carpentry projects and some like to bake for the healing center visitors :)
Thank you for supporting our mission of caring for the elderly and medically needy souls that need us!

Hi!  My name is Merlin and I am a very sweet little guy.  I used to live in a house I thought was my forever home, but one day my owners put me outside and they went away and never came back.  They took everything with them, except me.  It was lucky that one of the neighbors saw me and tried to help me.  It took them over two weeks to catch me because I was very scared.  Second Chance came and got me and said they would help me find a forever home where I would be loved and no one would abandon me ever again.  They had to shave most of my fur off because I was covered in fleas and very itchy.  I was also very skinny, but I'm getting really good meals now and boy do I love to eat! 

There are several other dogs and a cat where I live now, and I get along great with all of them, but I would be OK as the only dog as long as I get lots of love and attention. I like kids, but I am pretty tiny, so need to be handled gently so I don't get hurt.  Some of my favorite things are belly rubs, toys, walks, cuddling, treats, kissing and sleeping in bed. 

Love me and I will love you unconditionally!

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats

Please fill out an adoption application:

Please understand we do not adopt out dogs to families with children under the age of 5. We do not adopt dogs to renters. Some dogs will have fence requirements while others may not.

 

A pet is a lifetime commitment. The dogs and cats in our system find themselves there, for the most part, because their humans did not have the same loyalty to them as they did to their owners. We do not take the adoption process lightly, and will do everything in our power to make sure the animal is placed correctly the first time around for your sake and theirs. Thank you for choosing to adopt not shop!
