 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!

5/27/2014 - Herck has come back to 2nd chance :(  Herck had anxiety at his new home.  He does not seem to have any problems at his foster home.  His foster mommy is self employed so she is not gone 8-9 hours a day.  Herck doesn't like a crate.  He was very destructive at his forever home and destroyed crates and walls :(

Herck is a "talker"  all talk no bite.  Its rather cute once you know he's not going to bite you but is having a discussion about whatever it is he does not like :)  Has been around children and has not had any issues.

Due to his separation anxiety we are looking for a home where someone is around more than not.

Intake bio - I don't know what just happened.  One minute I was living with my family which included my human mommy and 3 Peek friends and the next I was being dumped at the high kill shelter with my 3 Peek friends and my mommy was going to hospice!

I'm sad that I cannot be with my 3 Peek buddies and they are very scared and confused too but 2nd Chance says I shouldn't worry they are going to find me a family that will love me with another small dog for me to play with if I can't stay with my Peek friends.

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!
