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! I'm Hank and I am a 1 year old retriever mix. I am a large boy with a unique and lovely fur coat, my foster folks like to pet my silky soft fur. I'm great at using the potty outside with zero accidents in my crate! I am very quiet in my crate which my mum keeps in a quiet part of the house, and love to play with other dogs and people. I can be rowdy at play, so a senior canine might not like my antics much. My foster folks say, "Hank is just learning lots of things, but he is doing great on leash with his new Halti, loves to play fetch with a ball or stick, never has bathroom accidents in our house, loves to play with our other dog, does well in the car, and really likes to play! Hank has lots of energy and needs space, so a big yard with a fence would be great for him." I love people and have a very happy attitude. I would love to have an active family maybe with teens who will play with me! I am pretty young, so I'm still a puppy at heart, but I will learn new things very fast. My foster mum says I still have lot to learn, but am picking up new things every day. She also says I just love chewy toys like rawhide bones and rope bones but I leave her sneakers alone!
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!
