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!

About Bo
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Brindle
  • Current Age: 14 Years 2 Months (best estimate)
Bo was struck and hit by a vehicle on Friday, March 9th.  His owners watched him all weekend and did nothing for him.  On Monday, March 12th they brought him and dropped him at a very poor, rural shelter where they also did nothing for his pain.  They did take photo's and place on facebook and that is how 2nd Chance came to meet Bo.  We immediately contacted rescuers in the area that picked up Bo and took him to Parkersburg Vetrinary Hospital where Bo is now.  I will try to update every few day.  The vet told me Bo is in pretty bad shape.  He is not confident we can save the leg but because it is Bo front leg we feel it is important to try.  What you cannot see from the photo's is that Bo must have been dragged because he is raw underneath and the skin is dead so the vet sedated Bo and tried to clean out all the injured, dead skin and suture all the open wounds.  The bone is still somewhat exposed. Bo is extremely thin.   Bo is on heavy duty antibiotics, heavily sedated and has his dressings changed every few hours.  He is fighting and we will continue to help him fight!

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!
