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!
About Rusty
Status: Adopted!
Species: Dog
General Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
My life was really really wonderful. My guy LOVED me! We went everywhere together! We moved to Masonic Village in an apartment and then one day dad wasn't doing well and they took him away and his kids came and got me and took me to a vets office and left me there never to come see me again :( I stayed there for months because the vet thought the family was coming back for me. She finally called them and when they said they weren't coming for me she decided maybe she should just euthanize me!! Thankfully the staff made a call to 2nd Chance and told them the vet was considering killing me and 2nd Chance came and got me right away!!! 2nd Chance doesn't believe it is EVER OK to put a healthy pup down and can't understand how vetrinarians who take an oath to do no harm could EVER in good conscience do so :( They told me not to worry I am safe now!! I'm not sure about other pups because I've never been around them so I would really like to be your one and only. My foster mom says we will work on the "furry friends" thing. I'm not sure what I think at this point.
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!
