Sammy needs a caretaker or foster! Won't you consider helping him 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!

Hey there, humans! I’m Sam. Yep — Sam I am!
Do I like green eggs and ham? Hmm… listen, I’m a dog, so I’d probably try them… but let’s be honest, green eggs sound like a bad life choice. Let’s stick to bacon.

So, let me tell you my story:

My sister Sissy and I ended up in a place called a shelter. FYI — it’s nothing like a hotel. No snacks on your pillow. No pool. No “welcome” biscuits. Just cold floors, loud noises, and a lot of worried faces. Total doggie jail.

The shelter lady was super sweet, but she was drowning in dogs — feeding, cleaning, comforting, over and over. She tried, but she was just one human with a giant mountain of need.

Then one day, I heard her say this terrifying word: “euthanized.”
I didn’t know what it meant, but I felt it — the sadness, the heavy air. I knew it wasn’t good.

BUT WAIT! Cue the superhero music!
Enter Erin — angel, superhero, lifesaver, snack provider (okay, maybe I’m adding that last part). She called 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue, and BOOM — just like that, 22 of us were saved!

Next stop? Northbound! Road trip, baby!
We’re heading to our foster mom Denise’s house, a magical land of soft beds, treats, and — let’s be honest — probably a few house rules we’ll “accidentally” ignore.

We’ll show up spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and ready to steal hearts (and maybe a sandwich or two if you leave it unattended). We’re just looking for forever families to love us.

Before I sign off, I have one tiny favor to ask:
Please, please stop making more puppies.
We’re already here, waiting, hoping, wishing for homes. Too many of us never get that 2nd chance.

Okay, I’m off to pack my squeaky toy! See you soon, North humans!
P.S. I promise to be on my best behavior.
P.P.S. Unless there’s a squirrel. ️ Then, all bets are off.

With love (and a waggy tail),
Sam (and Sissy too!)

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!
