 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!

Well hello there my name is Gidgit.  I am a "mature woman" but I totally act like a teenager.  Hey at my age I get to be bat crazy if I so choose!  My sidekick and bestie is Bella she's "mature" too LOL  We are a pair and 2nd Chance said we have no worries we will not be separated and if that means we stay with our foster mommy & daddy furever they are OK with that :)
We have a fenced yard and fur buddies to play with so life is good!   
We've had some crazy times in our 16 years.  Our first 9 we lived with a hoarder.  Now I can tell you that was NOT fun!  We were kept in stacked cages and there wasn't much room and it was FILTHY and when someone pottied above us well you can guess what happened :(   Then the police came and got all of us and that was awesome!  They took us to the shelter and while other dogs seemed scared to be there we were pretty excited because we got nice soft, clean beds and yummy food and they gave us this warm thing called a bath and WOW we smelled really "pretty"!  Bella and I were adopted by an older couple and although they were nice they didn't fix are wobbly knees so we have some "issues" with them but we've learned to adjust and we are too old for surgery now.
The couple started having health problems and they brought us back to the shelter :(  Lucky for us the awesome Rescue lady at the shelter scooped us up and called 2nd Chance who didn't care how old we were and now we are living with pups and having a great time!  Tomorrow we are having a dental.  I'm not sure what that means but our foster mommy says our breath smells "stinky poo"  I don't think that is a good smell cause when she says it her face gets all weird and wrinkly!
Well I'm going to get ready for bed since I have a big day tomorrow.  Wish us luck!

Please fill out an adoption application:
Adoption application (Dog)
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!
