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!

Hi guys my name is Addie! Yeah you guessed it my foster mommy and her friends are Private Practice fans lol. I have come to live with my foster mom when me and my sister Ammie went out for a run and happened across this nice lady who works for a local vet. We have met some really great people who have just wanted what was best for us and after two weeks our family has not been located so we are looking for a new forever family. I really have not idea what this thing is around my neck or the stupid thing people hook to it. I keep hearing them say I will get use to it however really humans I want my privacy when trying to go potty. Sorry that is why I pick a corner when I come inside as then I dont have a human hovering! Maybe the answer to my problems is a fence where I can just let loose and run and get me some privacy to potty. I love playing with my sister and trying to take her toys. I am however not to keen on when someone throws a toy and cowers a little as I think they are trying to hit me. Please please please just consider giving me a loving home and show me that humans can be great cuddle buddies.
Update March 12, 2012: Well I have been working on the potty thing and must say the only time there is an accident is when no one pays any mind to my pee pee dance/pace. Sorry I tried to tell you not my fault. My foster parents are great they have a fenced in area now for my sissy Ammie and I to run and run and run. I am working on the sit command and if I do say so myself I am getting pretty good at it. Also now my foster parents are taking me for walks on the local trail hooked tandum to a big dog so that I learn to walk on a leash correctly. Please consider being my furever family!
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!
