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!

Well let me tell ya about my hard luck story!  I was with some not so nice people so this lady came to "save" me.  Hmmmm it didn't take me long to figure out she might have meant well but it was not much better there and those little pesky bugs that you humans call fleas were eating me alive!!  Thank goodness the cat in the house got "frisky" with another cat and found herself "knocked up" and of course the dad was going to be a dead beat father so the lady of the house called the nice lady that helped her with cats before and she came to take the momma cat with her... Well when she saw me she didn't look very happy with the lady that "saved" me and made it really clear that the lady wasn't doing right by me!  She left but a few days later she came back and took me too YAY!!!!  She gave me a really nice warm bath and medicine that made those pesky bugs say "see ya" and then she put me in this noisy car and I took a trip and then these ladies got me and I took another trip and then I went to a house and played with a bunch of dogs for a day and then this other human came and got me and she said she is my foster mommy and I REALLY like her and now I have a boy who likes me and lets me cuddle with him on the couch and oh yeah I have another dog to hang out with too!!  Its really cool and my foster mommy says I can stay until she finds me a really AWESOME forever home!  I have a feeling my life is going to stay really good and that makes me really happy :)

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!
