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!

About Vinny
  • Status: Adopted! | View Vinny's Success Story!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Fawn
  • Current Size: 4 Pounds
  • Current Age: 12 Years 11 Months (best estimate)
  • Housetrained: No

Because of our young age and rough beginning we will be available to go to our forever homes in about 2-4 weeks. Applications are being processed. We need to stay together a little longer to make sure we are strong enough to be apart from each other when we go to our forever homes.

My name is Vinny after Joe Vincent Paterno.  My brother is Joey (Joe Vincent Paterno) and my sister is Patty hmmmmmm get the theme :-)  My foster mommy thinks we could not be named after a greater man!  We will try to live up to our names :-)

We are too young to be altered so our adopters will need to sign a foster to adopt contract and agree to have us altered between 4-5 months.

 

My brother, sister and me were dropped off at the high kill shelter when we were only 5 weeks old . . . Way to young to be away from our momma and had to fight to survive. My foster mommy calls us angels. She said we saved her but I think she really saved us. She stayed up taking care of us for the first couple weeks and now we are the typical puppies running (hoping) playing, eating, pooping, we keep her busy!  I love to run now that I know what to do on that funny feeling stuff they call carpet.  I like to do laps around and around! Mommy and Daddy just laugh at me, Joey and Patty playing.  I would love to have a forever home of my own.

More about Vinny

Good with Dogs

Please fill out an adoption application:
Adoption application (Dog)
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!
