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!

Hi, my name is Effie. I live in Mechanicsburg PA with my Foster Family who love me to death. I require a fenced in yard because I love to dig, run, chase birds, rabbits, chipmunks and anything else that comes to visit my yard because I don't like them. I think that is a good idea so I don't get lost. I am part dachshund and beagle. The beagle comes out when we get visitors in my yard. That also means I can't be off a leash. I do like the car, but I love to sit on your lap and be your co-pilot. I love to snuggle and give lots of kisses. I love all people even little ones and dogs.  I am not sure if I like cats because we don't have any. I am housebroken. If you are interested in meeting me, please contact my Foster Mommy to arrange a meeting. Remember I need a secure 5ft chain link fence so I can't get out:)

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!
