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!

Hi I'm Atticus. I am currently living with my foster family in Mechanicsburg, PA. I am finally adjusting to living in my foster home. I don't lay in my crate anymore. I join them in the family room for tv and fun. If you stop petting, I will let you know with my sad eyes. I will greet you at the door after a long day of work with my tail wagging. I am housebroken so I go outside and do my business.  I even know where to go to let them know I need to go out. I love attention, being petted, and  to give kisses though they are sometimes a little wet. Best thing is I don't jump on furniture. I have a yard to play with my foster brother, Ethan. I am house broken and now know how to let them know when I need to go out. I am learning new things all the time. I get to go around the house and I don't even eat or chew on anything. I know I would make a Great addition to any family. I love people, other dogs and little people too!(kids). I hope you would love to meet me because  I would love to meet you.:)

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Good with Kids

Please fill out an adoption application:

Adoption Application (Cat)

 

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!
