Join Our Pack! On a daily basis, we have new foster dogs and cats coming into the system that need medical care, such as insulin, heart meds, allergy meds etc. Won't you be part of the pack and help with a monthly donation?
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!
Hellooo! My name is Sissy. My brother Sammy calls me Sissy, so I guess the shelter worker overheard us chatting… because now she calls me Sissy too. Guess that’s official now!
Sammy and I were given up and ended up in this loud, scary place called a shelter. It’s basically doggy jail — tiny cage, cold cement floor, and zero backyard vibes. Soooo… don’t be surprised if we have an epic case of the ZOOMIES when our paws finally hit some grass again! We are READY.
But here’s the best news: We’re heading to a foster home with our foster mom, Denise! I’m so happy she’s taking both Sammy and me — because honestly, I’m brave, but this whole adventure would be way scarier without my bro tagging along. ❤️
I’ll keep you posted on our big new life when we get up North! Until then, can you do me a favor? Tell your human friends to please stop making more puppies until all our shelter buddies get the chance they deserve. No dog should have to leave this world in a garbage bag.
Okay, gotta go practice my grass-zooming! See you soon!
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!
PLEASE BE AWARE: Adoption questions are not website questions! If you have questions about adoption or a specific dog, fill out an Adoption Application and the dog's foster will get in touch with you.
