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!

Hey there! I’m Ava.
Do you enjoy birdwatching? Because I do. A lot.
In fact, I’ve made it my personal mission to alert you to every. single. bird.
Blue jay at 3 o’clock? BARK.
Suspicious cardinal? BARK BARK.
Was that a leaf pretending to be a bird? Better safe than sorry!

I’m a bit shy—okay, a lot shy—but only at first. You see, I grew up at The Ranch and didn’t meet a ton of people. But now I have a foster mom, and once I realized she wasn’t going to steal my snacks, I warmed up fast! Now she gets the “full body wiggle wag” every time she walks in. I mean… who can resist a good wiggle?

She says I move like a ballerina with my long, graceful legs and dainty feet. So yeah, I’m kind of the canine version of Swan Lake—if Swan Lake involved zoomies.

I’m also full of energy, so I’d love a home with a fun fur sibling and a family who’s ready to keep me busy! Birdwatching is optional… but highly recommended.



REQUIRES A FENCED YARD
Another small dog to play with.  

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!
