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!

Gizmo was surrendered to the high kill shelter because his owner had allergies :(   How sad that they would take and put him where he could easily have been killed because they had the "sneezes"!   No worries Gizmo 2nd Chance will be VERY picky when they choose your forever home and we promise this one will be as loyal to you as you are to them!

3-2-13  I met my foster family today!  I like them, but I wonder what happened to the family I knew...  I don't have much of an appetite yet -- I'm a little sad.  But my foster mommy is thrilled that I know to pee outside -- she says that is a huge deal!  She told me not to worry, that I could stay as long as it took for me to find the perfect home of my very own!  She also said I get a haircut and a bath on Monday -- a little bit of pampering will feel great.  I will get a new picture then...  If you're looking for a forever friend, don't count me out!

3-8-13  I'm letting my playful, friendly side show more each day!  I'm starting to feel more comfortable playing with the kids and my foster brother and sister.  I do love to sleep with my human girl, and I also like to be brushed and pampered!  My appetite is back, too, so YAY!  Tomorrow I get microchipped and professionally photographed.  Watch out, Ruth-- I'm a looker!

Good with Dogs, 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!
