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 lover is appropriately named. Romeo loves to cuddle and is a rather quiet young fellow as far as chihuahuas go. He is happy to be inside, to sit on your lap, and be petted all day.  Romeo is fine with older kids and with other dogs, although he would be happy to be an only dog too. Since this little guy is only six pounds, a small yard or condo is just fine for him.  Romeo is not a big fan of the cold anyway since he has a thin coat. Luckily, that means he does not shed as much as some breeds, and he appreciates a nice sweater.As long as you are willing to give him the attention he deserves he will be your best friend and loyal companion for life.

 Poor Romeo was found as a stray with a crushed paw and spent several months in a cast being carried around by his foster mommy because he needed his leg to heal.

Today little Romeo has a fully healed leg and is a  goofy little guy that will  practically stand on his head for pets. He is also very social and lives with two pugs and a teen age boy that he follows around.  Romeo, however, is a little stubborn when it comes to becoming completely housebroken.  He knows he needs to go outside and follows his doggy family to his yard when he needs to, but he does not like the cold.  He needs a patient owner who understands that Romeo's days as a stray are not quite behind him yet.

Romeo really deserves a warm and loving home with a special owner who is willing to love Romeo for all that he is and can help this little dog to forget his past. Romeo will give you years of love and laughter in return.

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!
