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!

Update:  Bow Wow had surgery to attempt to improve eyesight in his remaining eye, but it appears he can still see little more than light and shadows.  In spite of this lack of vision, he navigates familiar surroundings exceptionally well, as long as stairs are gated.  Today you would never know he was a shut down case, because his goofy side has really started to shine through.  Fantastically enough, he has his own version of fetch that he absolutely loves to play;)  Due to his blindess, walks are not ideal.  He would do best in a confined, fenced in area where he can safely roam around. 

Meet Bow Wow.  This sweet boy has not had the best life, but sure doesn't hold that against anyone.  He is quiet and doesn't ask for attention often, but when he does, he does so with a little hop/beg combo that will melt your heart.  He certainly enjoys his outside time and toys, but is mostly content to just relax on a soft bed and take it all in.  More to updates to come on this boy as he tells us more.  Check back for more photos and videos.

Good with Dogs, Not Good with Cats

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!
