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!

Hi! My name is Scout, and I'm a three month old brindle and white Chihuahua/terrier mix puppy looking for my furrever home! In some of my pictures, I'm with my brother and sister, Rebel and Violet, who are also looking for homes. Wanna hear a cool fact?? I was just reading the other day that us chihuahuas are one of the longest-lived dog breeds...so because I'm still just a pup, that means years and years of fun to come for the lucky family who decides to adopt me!
I'd say both my brother and sister are a little taller than me, so I may be considered the 'runt' of the litter (though I'm a little chunkier in the middle and technically weigh more than they do)...but my personality is anything but small! I do love my food, but I don't think that's a bad thing because I'm very treat-motivated - which is to your advantage when teaching me new tricks. I've heard people say that I'm the most vocal of my bunch, but hey...I have a lot to say! I also never know what to expect of my ears when I wake up in the morning; sometimes they're both up for a few days, sometimes one is floppy for a while...but I don't mind because the vet says this is totally normal and that chihuahua ears have a mind of their own!
A little more about me... I am an outgoing, curious guy whose name fits me perfectly - I'm an independent spirit who is usually the first of my litter to explore new places and toys. Though I'm quick to 'scout' new territory, I also I love to give my human friends lots of licks and kisses all over their face. I also love being held, and don't mind being carried around by my humans - in fact, I've heard the humans say I'm awesome because I'm so content in someone's arms. I've also been known to curl up in a nice, warm lap for a puppy nap. When the humans are busy and can't hold me, I love chasing my brother and sister around (they chase me too, which is OK!), as well as chasing the laser pointer...I have yet to catch that red dot, but I'm getting closer and closer every day. Oh, and I've been around some cats, too; they are interesting creatures, but hard to get to know...so I just kind of watch and sniff from a distance when they're around. All things considered, I'd have to say my favorite thing of all is attention from humans...kids, adults, who ever...so if you're looking for a fun, outgoing puppy, I'm your guy - I'd love to meet you!
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!
