Join Our Pack! On a daily basis, we have new foster dogs and cats coming into the system that need medical care, such as insulin, heart meds, allergy meds etc. Won't you be part of the pack and help with a monthly donation?
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 Eli! My mama had me and my siblings outside but a kind lady found us and took us in as often as she could to feed and snuggle us; her landlord would not let her keep us but she loved us enough to care for us while she looked for a rescue who could help :) I was initially very shy but am slowly coming out of my shell. I will play with you for hours but do not trust enough yet to snuggle with anyone other than my siblings. I am very bonded with my sister Emma. We would like to be adopted together. My foster momma thinks this is best to help me transition into my forever home. Everyone says I am an especially handsome fellow. As a foster kitty I have shown that I can get along well with younger and elder cats. UPDATE: Eli is a loving boy who has come leaps and bounds iin the past months! He is very curious and loves to roam the house, but also loves to "love on" his siblings, and let his older foster brother love on him as well :) He and his sister Emma are still very bonded and we would like them to stay together. The good thing about this is that when you are not home you know they have each other for company :) Eli is truly the most beautiful boy I have ever seen - the vet calls his swirly markings "Mackerel" - and his fur is like velvet. He is very special and unique. I do not have any dogs or young children, but Eli and his three siblings never seem bothered at all when at the vet with barking and jumping dogs :) he is so gentle I can see him being very sweet with younger children.
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!
