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!

Binkel found himself in a high kill shelter at the ripe old age of 5-6 weeks :( THEN he ended up with Parvo! Lucky for Binkel he was pulled by 2nd Chance and taken to a vet hospital for treatment as soon as he showed signs of being sick. He was hospitalized for a week and fought for his life! He is a true survivor :)
4/12/2014 Update - This little guy is just the best! He gets along with everyone!! We really want him to go to a home with another dog to play with. No large dogs they scare him. No alpha dogs as he is already very submisive and we don't want the poor little thing bullied. He will be neutered on the 23rd so he will be ready for his new home very soon :)
5/1/2014 - Potty training is going great! This little man is so super sweet. He totally loves another dog and so we want him to go to a home with another dog to play with!
8/29/2014 - We cannot believe Binkel is still with a foster family. He does not like med/large dogs. He is totally comfortable with other little happy dogs :)

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!
