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!

Blacky was discovered at a High Kill Shelter.  I knew he would not get out of there if I didn't make an effort to help him.  He cowered in the back of his cage...and he was black...not everyone's favorite color.  I spent quite a bit of time getting him to trust me enough to let me touch him.  Once he knew I wasn't going to hurt him, he came to me with a crazy wagging tail.  With kindness and patience, he has become a wonderful little lap dog.  He greets me and won't go outside to go potty until I pick him up and give him a rub and kisses. 

Blacky has done very well in the family with our other pets and family members.  He still has anxiety around new people.  We are continuing to work on socializing him in unfamiliar surroundings to get over whatever fears led him to the horrible metal cage I found him in. Are you willing to provide a loving lap for Blacky and continue to help him build his trust  and confidence in our kind?  If so, fill out an application.  He will not let you down!

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!
