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!

Hellllllow Sophie here. My foster mom says I'm special :) I'm not sure what that means but she hugs me when she says it so I guess its good :) My best friend Chipper and I lived with our daddy but he got sick and then one day he just didn't get up :( Chipper and I didn't know what to do and for 5 days it was pretty scary being alone. Then a nice lady came to check on dad and she called 2nd Chance and they took us in. We LOVE it at the ranch. There is always someone to play with and nice beds to sleep on and we sleep in a room with the Director and a lot of other dogs its like a sleep over every night!!!! They don't even seem to care that we snore!!! Momma Lynn at the ranch says that we do not need to worry she won't separate us. I mean we already lost our dad and we would be devastated to lose each other we've been together forever!!! We also want a fenced yard because well we love to explore and we've never had to be on a leash. We need a home without a lot of steps I have a "unique paw" (that's what momma Lynn calls it) and Chipper has really stubby legs shhhhh don't tell him he thinks he's gorgeous I don't want to burst his bubble. If you are interested in the two of us just fill out an application we will peruse it and call you for a date if we think you are a good fit for us :) Tata I need to get back to the gang I think its time for afternoon siesta and I gotta get a good bed!
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!
