My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

 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 Cloud.

Yeah, yeah — Cloud. I know what you’re thinking.
Who names a dog Cloud?! Seriously?!
They could’ve gone with something cool like Snow… or Angelica (okay, maybe that’s a stretch). But Cloud? Come on!
I should file a complaint with management — but let’s be real, I’m a big dog sitting in a kill shelter. Not exactly the time to make waves.

So, something happened the other day…
I overheard the kennel worker talking to a lady. She said, “They’re going to euthanize this week.”
Both of them looked really upset.
Then I heard, “Cloud is on the list.”
OHHHH NOOOOO.
I didn’t know exactly what “euthanize” meant, but judging by their faces… it was NOT good.

But guess what?! Plot twist!
Just one day before the “euthanizing thing,” 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue said they would TAKE ME!!
The ladies were so happy, and I’m thinking: YES! I am busting outta here!

I overheard them say I’m going North —
Frankly, at this point, anywhere out the door still breathing sounds fabulous!

Also, apparently, I’m going to “take a nap,” and when I wake up, I won’t be able to have kids.
Honestly? TOTALLY FINE.
No offense, but I have zero aspirations to deal with tiny things latched onto me, demanding snacks and attention. ‍♀️

I’ll keep you updated once I land in this magical “North” place.
Oh — and by the way, my adoption fee covers my spay and vaccinations!
Talk about a bargain!

UPDATE 7/21/2025

Hey guess what?! I just got my foster family — and it’s SO cool!!!

I’ve got three tiny humans who love to play with me (they’re basically like little littermates, but they wear shoes).
I’ve got a human mom and dad who actually like me — like, belly rubs and treats kind of like me!

AND I have a fur buddy sister… who only has three legs, but don’t you worry — she’s already made it very clear she’s the queen of this house.
I know my place, and that’s fine by me — we’re having a blast together!

Honestly, I think I hit the jackpot. ✨

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!

More about this rescue

2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue is a foster network. Our goal is to find our precious little ones their "forever families" where they will live out the rest of their lives. Your dog is a part of your family and should be treated as such. You don't give away your children and neither should your loyal pet be dispensable!
All our dogs must be altered before adoption. Spay/Neuter is the only way to stop the senseless overpopulation we have now. Our hope is one day with education we will live in a society where shelters are not a necessity and no animal will die just for lack of space!
