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!

Taco and his friend were brought into the shelter by their owner and left there :(   We did not reach them in time to keep them together because someone else took Taco's friend but not him :(  So sad!  We promised Taco we will find him another good friend and a family who will be loyal to him!

Taco is an absolute joy to have around.  He is well mannered and a lover.  His first night in his foster home he found a place at his foster mom's feet and stayed there.  He likes to sleep in bed under the covers right up against you.  He also has the most adorable little grunt (is there a hound in his background from wayback?) instead of a whine or bark.  Taco does well on a leash and enjoys being petted and giving kisses when asked.  This little guy is affectionate and friendly...so much for the 'tude everybody says his breeds have!!

His pictures couldn't possible do him justice.  He is a light red fawn with chihuahua ears and a taller dachschund body and nose.  He will be someone's best friend for life...how about making him yours?!

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!
