My Rescue
Login to Remember your Favorite Animals and Breeds!

 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!

When Scruffy came to us, he was timid, scared and reactive.  We have worked with Scruffy to let him know that it's okay to trust people, especially men.  He is still pretty shy when strangers come to our house, but he is warming up to the people that he is the most familiar with that frequent our house.  He is more comfortable with women, but with training and love, he will learn to be comfortable with a man as well.  Scruffy has good manners and has learned to sit and wait for a treat until he's told that he may have it.  He still has some reactive issues in certain circumstances, however, we try our hardest to prevent those from happening.

Scruffy does very well with other dogs, I can not speak to how he would do with a cat, as we do not have any. 

Scruffy will make a great family pet!

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!
