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!

Spunky could be this little guy's middle name.  He is an energetic, fun-loving dog who loves to play and run around.  His story is pretty unique and very, very special.  

Due to improper breeding, his 3 brothers and sister were all born blind and deaf.  Bennigan, however, was born with some sight but is deaf.  While his brothers and sister were given to a shelter in WV, Bennigan's journey lead him to a family in Ohio.  After about 7 months, and for unknown reasons, they wrote a "Free to a good home" post on Facebook.  Thankfully, the volunteers and staff at the shelter where the rest of the litter was taken to found out about Bennigan and took him in.  He later joined his brothers in PA and became part of the 2nd Chance family.

Bennigan loves to snuggle on your lap (after he's exerted all of his energy), play with toys and chase his brothers until he drives them crazy.  His ability to partially see has its advantages and he'll often tease the others and then dodge away when they sniff him out.  

This guy would be a wonderful addition to a family that already has a dog who is energetic and loves to play.

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!
