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!

Hello.  Are you looking for a little lady who is quiet and sweet and just wants to snuggle and sleep with you?!  Then you are my kind of person. 
I had a pretty rough life and had to live outside and my "owner" wasn't too nice.  I had to sleep and eat and go potty all in the same space and she didn't ever clean it up so by the time the authorities found out there were 42 of us and we were all in pretty bad shape :( 
However, I was taken to a nice shelter where there were lots of volunteers who loved on me and shaved off all my matted dirty fur and gave me a nice warm bath and soft bed to sleep on and then made sure I got to 2nd Chance!  Now I live in a thing they call a house with humans who are REALLY nice and I even have some furry friends in the house too and I really really like it and they tell me I will NEVER have to live outside again!  WOW that makes my tail wag!!! :)
I don't see very well and just had eye surgery that cost the rescue over $1000 but they said I'm worth it.  If you would like to help with my medical bill please go to this website and make a donation.   http://www.2ndchance4liferescue.org/info/display?PageID=16060  Thank You I know there are nice humans out there and I am starting to feel much better about you two legged things :)

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

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!
