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!

I came to 2nd Chance as a stray from Philly. I had a skin condition that left my nose unbearably bear, a pink looking rat tail, hairless back legs and my ears looked embarassingly naked. A couple of pills and a healthy diet have done wonders for my skimpy wardrobe! I now have a white snout, tail, ears and am making progress on my most posterior legs! I have not had much exposure to a leash, but am working on it. I really didn't realize that the green stuff outside was for walking and pottying on. I thought that was what sidewalks were for, but I am making progress. I am presently staying in a house with a fenced in yard...and the other dogs have convinced me to play in it. I will admit, it took almost a week and a half before I put my feet on that stuff! My foster family says I am a little quirky since I like to lick toes. They keep wearing socks to discourage me, but I am still tempted sometimes! I am playful and love to meet new friends. If you would like to hang with a pooch whom is always happy and is glamorously groomed...pick me!! Don't forget to check out the before, during, and after grooming photos. You would not believe where this swan came from!!
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!
