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!
I was sitting in a kill shelter—scared, confused, and running out of time. My death sentence had already been written. But then... at the very last moment, angels from 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue showed up. They were there to save a van full of dogs, and somehow, they chose me too.
They saved my life. But now I’m still waiting…
I've been in a kennel for weeks. No couch to curl up on. No human to love me. Just waiting. Watching others get picked while I sit behind a gate, hoping someone sees me.
I’m only 1 year old. I should be chasing butterflies, splashing in baby pools, and learning what it’s like to be someone’s best friend—not growing up in a kennel.
Will you be my hero?
I’m sweet, smart, and so ready to love you. Whether you can adopt me forever or just foster me for now, I promise to be a very good girl.
Please, give me my second chance at life. Fill out an application today and let’s make this summer one I’ll never forget. https://www.2ndchance4liferescue.org
Love, Lucy The dog who lived… now just waiting to really live.
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!
PLEASE BE AWARE: Adoption questions are not website questions! If you have questions about adoption or a specific dog, fill out an Adoption Application and the dog's foster will get in touch with you.
