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!

This little girl was running on the highway.  2 ladies saw her but neither stopped.  They "called" people :(   Finally on the one ladies way home she saw Miracle again.  This time she stopped and picked her up and stuck her in her trunk!!!!  Can you imagine how scared little Miracle had to be?!  First she is running in traffic then she is put in a dark trunk :(   The lady took her to a shelter but the shelter said since the lady didn't find her in her township that the lady needed to take her to the shelter responsible for the area she found her so what happened??  The lady drove down the road and dumped Miracle out on a country road :(   When the rescue lady went to the shelter that turned Miracle down a worker told her what happened and she immediately called the lady who had been in, since the worker knew her, the lady informed the rescue woman that she had put her out on the road :(   Rescue looked for Miracle for 10 days even through a snow storm but couldn't find her and started to wonder if Miracle had died.  A lady owning a horse farm was going to her barn when she noticed something moving in a little dog house she had put out for her ducks with hay in it, she bent down and there was Miracle shivering in the back of the dog house :(   Of course Miracle was to scared to come out so the kind lady carried the dog house into her office, placed food and water outside of the dog house and waited patiently for Miracle to come out then she called the rescue woman and Miracle was picked up and taken to the vets office.  The photos are horrible but don't worry Miracle now looks much better and is VERY happy to snuggle in her little bed and just enjoy being warm, safe and loved :)

Good with Dogs

Please fill out an adoption application:
Adoption application (Dog)
Adoption Application (Cat)

 

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!
