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!

Poor little Trixie is part of a hoarding situation.  42 dogs were kept in a single wide trailer in crates and filth.  They were forced to go to the bathroom where they lived and slept; some of them even shared crates with CATS!!! 

These little ones are very sweet and are starting to understand what being a dog is supposed to be with the help of volunteers.  They are playing in grass, some of them for the first time in their lives, and working on their potty training. 

These are truly wonderful dogs and deserve a family who will value them and treasure them FOREVER!!!

Trixie is working on her potty training and is getting used to using a puppy pad.  She is excited to actually play in grass!!!!
Trixie loves other small dogs.  Trixie should not be an only dog.

Trixie is pretty low energy. She likes to play and run around most in the morning. The rest of the day she loves to jump in your lap and sit with you, and she likes to cuddle in bed. She's very gentle and affectionate.

PLEASE understand that Trixie is a Shih Tzu so she will need professionally groomed at least every 6 weeks.  The normal cost for grooming is $50.  If your budget does not allow for grooming PLEASE choose another breed.

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

Please fill out an adoption application:

Adoption Application (Cat)

 

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!
