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!

Matthias or "Mattie" as we call him sometimes is a shy but very loving and happy boy.  He loves to be petted but is not quite sure enough of this "lap dog" idea to actually fall asleep on our laps.  He loves to play and gets along well with his brothers and sisters, not quite sure what to thinks of his cat brothers, just sniffs them and moves away from them.  Mathias is interested in everything :)  He likes to know what is going on.  Mathias was never an inside dog but he's enjoying it now!  He loves to learn anything you want to teach him and he likes hanging out with people!  We will require a fenced yard for him since he is a beagle :)

More about Mathias

Good with Dogs

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!
