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!

Spike is an absolute sweetheart!   After spending two years in a basement in Philadelphia  and then being dropped off at the shelter,  Spike is craving the love and attention he deserves!   Spike is very playful.  He loves to be held and gives lot's of kisses!   So far he is learning sit,  but would love for someone to train him and teach him more tricks!  Spike hasn't met a dog he doesn't like, big or small.   He is also nice and quiet in his crate.  
Spike says won't you please give him a forever home where he will be loved and adored??

4/6/15 Update:  Spike has been doing wonderful.  He has a great temperament and is great with all other dogs he has met so far.  He is crate trained, potty trained, walks well on a leash and rides nice in a car.  He doesn't make a peep in his crate and is nice and quiet unless he is guarding the house for you :-).  His favorite toys are kongs.  He likes when you throw them for him so he can go fetch!  Spike loves to play and is very active, but he also enjoys snuggling under the covers.  Spike says..."What's taking so long?? I'm awesome and cute! Meet me and fall in love!"

Good with Dogs, Good with Kids

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!
