Almond Joy needs a caretaker or foster!
Won't you consider helping her get a new start?
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!

Hello world! Let me tell you how my life started.... I was born in a rural shelter in WV on a cement floor with just a little bed for my mommy and my 6 siblings. Mommy wasn't happy about being a mom cause she was really young and well I thought we tried to be good but we were hungry and we didn't give mommy much "space" so she decided she didn't want to feed us anymore and the shelter workers had to take us and feed us cause we were getting really hungry and mommy would kick us out of the little bed unto the cement floor and it was hard and cold :( We are pretty happy now cause we are in a foster home and we get fed lots and its good stuff and our foster mommy doesn't seem to mind taking care of us :) If you would like to meet any of us you need to fill out an application. 2nd Chance requires that we go to a home with a physical fence since we are Beagles :)
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!
