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!

Aroooooo! I’m a beagle — and oh boy, do I have a story to tell!
I came from a very scary home where the man beat us. There were seven of us beagles living there! He was running a cockfighting ring (ugh, so awful), and it was just… sad.
Then one day — BAM! Lots of cars showed up with flashing lights, they took the mean man away, and some really nice people scooped us up and brought us to this big, noisy building.
We were soooo scared. (Okay… we’re still a little scared. Baby steps, okay?)
But then 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue came to the rescue! They took six of us, and our seventh friend — who was pregnant! — went to a rescue closer by so she didn’t have to make the long trip.
Now I’m with the best foster mom and dad. They go slow with us, give us space when we need it, and when we’re ready? They shower us with these magical things called “pets & loving.” Let me tell you… it’s VERY nice. 10/10, highly recommend. ✨
For the first time ever, I think life might just be okay.
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.
