Join Our Pack! On a daily basis, we have new foster dogs and cats coming into the system that need medical care, such as insulin, heart meds, allergy meds etc. Won't you be part of the pack and help with a monthly donation?
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!

I came to 2nd Chance unable to use my front leg. The nice lady that found me saw somebody kick me. The next day my leg had no feeling. The doggie doctor thought I might need to have my leg taken off because tests showed it had no feeling. They took a conservative approach, knowing my recent trauma. The next day my leg started to feel sore. Meanwhile, the lady who held me on my trip to 2nd Chance decided to come get me to see if rest would help my leg. I went home with my foster mom and was crated for an hour while the other dogs sniffed and greeted me. Everyone was so friendly.
I was taken outside to meet my new foster family. My leg was feeling good and I started walking like nothing ever happened! My foster family has started calling me Kenny Doggins. I run and play and show my foster family how much I appreciate them taking me in and helping me feel better. I have tried to be good and am doing very well in the house. My foster mom adores me and says I will have a home of my own very soon. In the meantime, she is teaching me to sit and play fetch. I am not sure what it is, but I am trying to understand. So far, I have figured out that I should run a little bit when something is thrown from mom's hand. I think there might be more to it though! :)
Mom says I should tell everybody I am handsome and very loving. She loves the way I greet her and stand up on my back feet and lean against her when I want to show her affection. When I sit on her lap I lean my head up against hers and rub like I saw a cat do one time. These things really seem to make her happy, like when she pets and rubs my back. She says she will make sure I have a wonderful home with someone who will love me forever and never break my heart by dumping me when they tire of me or kicking me just because I am there.
Please fill out an application for Kenny Doggins if you would like to have a loving and gentle companion to fill out your family. Only similarly loving and gentle people need apply. :)
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!
