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!

Hi There! My name is Jake. I am so happy right now because I am in a home where I do not have to be in a crate anymore and finally someone loves me again. You see, my family took me to the shelter because they just did not want me anymore. It could be because I am about 10 years old but I sure do not act like 10! I feel a whole lot younger. Then I was there for it seemed like a really long time and I had to sleep in a crate at night. I didn't mind that but I am so glad to be able to sleep on a nice soft puffy sofa. I love to sit on my foster mommy and daddy's laps as you can see in the one picture. I am such a good boy because I go potty outside and I know how to "sit" and "stay". I get along with all of my other 4-legged foster friends too and I like my foster granddaughters too. My former family said though that I do not like small children so I think I would really like a home with no children or at least older children who are not mean to me. I am a little bit older but I still like to play alot. I would really like to find my forever home so I do not ever have to readjust again.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids

Please fill out an adoption application:
Adoption application (Dog)
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!
