Story
Current Location: Union Bridge, MD Meet Edgar Edgar is a one year old Border Collie and he is everything you would hope for in one of the most brilliant breeds on the planet. Playful, friendly, attentive, and almost unnervingly smart, Edgar is the kind of dog who is always thinking, always watching, and always ready for whatever comes next. He already knows sit, down, and paw, and he picks up new things with the kind of speed that will genuinely impress you. He is food motivated and deeply eager to please, which makes training him an absolute joy. He responds well to correction, takes direction beautifully, and brings his whole self to every interaction. When Edgar decides you are his person, you will feel it. This boy needs to move and think. Long walks, active play, and plenty of mental stimulation are not negotiable for Edgar, they are what he was built for. He would absolutely thrive in dog sports like agility, barn hunt, or obedience rallies. Anything fast, fun, and challenging is going to bring out the very best in him. An active family who loves to get outside and do things will find the most incredible partner in Edgar. But here is the thing about Border Collies that Edgar demonstrates perfectly. After a good run and a solid play session, he is more than happy to settle in and snuggle up with you for a movie night. He works hard and he rests well, and that balance makes him a genuinely wonderful companion for everyday life. He is house trained, crate trained, good with other dogs, great with kids, and friendly with new people. He does not mind being left alone, which speaks to his overall confidence and stability. He is loyal, engaged, and deeply interested in being close to his people whenever he can be. Edgar is not looking for just any home. He is looking for a family that will match his energy, challenge his mind, and reward his tremendous heart. If that sounds like you, Edgar is going to be the best decision you ever made.

Story
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! Image growing up in a yard with a human throwing you food over a fence and pouring water in your already dirty water day after day.  The human never touched you or the other three dogs in the yard and you lived outside like this summer, winter spring and fall until finally 8 years into your life someone reported your owner to the authorities and they finally came to save you!  You found yourself placed in a box separate from the only friends you had ever known.  Taken to a noisy shelter, poked, probed, bathed and then stuck in a kennel alone.  WOW SCARY right???  Well that was the experience for Max's, his best friend Moose and his 2 other fur buddies.  Unfortunately the oldest of the 4 was quite ill and passed away :(   The other one was adopted and seems to be doing well.  Max's was very shut down until the shelter staff placed him with Moose and then they saw Max's come back to life!   We couldn't allow Max's to lose the only friend he has ever had on this earth so we are taking both boys and they will only be adopted as a bonded pair with a contract signed that they will NOT be separated!! Max's & Moose will have to learn to live in a home, walk on a leash and understand what it is like to be valued and actually LOVED by a human.  If you would like to be considered for the boys please fill out an adoption application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.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!

Story
Meet Fern: Fern is about a 2 year old (as of January 2026) border collie mix (best guess) that weighs around 47 pounds. Fern was brought into a shelter in Arkansas with her 6 puppies (unfortunately only 2 puppies survived). Our rescue heard about Fern and her 3 week old pups and were able to find a foster home to get them into a lower stress environment. Fern and her pups are currently being fostered in the Lancaster, PA area and would love to meet their forever families. Fern is very friendly and sweet. We are still assessing Fern’s house training status. We would love for Fern to have a home with a fenced in yard so she can run and play freely. Fern is getting up to date on her shots and is spayed. Please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Foster Home in Lancaster, PA 17603 Kennel License #17584 ##2627295##

Story
My husband have had our border collie since he was 8 weeks old, and he just turned 5 in January. He’s has issues with resource guarding and reactivity. He does well at doggy daycare and warms up to people once he has a few moments to sniff and bark at them. The issue is that we now have a baby and our dog is just not happy. His resource guarding has gotten worse and he’s constantly stressed. My husband and I also just no longer have the time to devote to his needs. Our dog would thrive in a home with experienced collie owners. He needs a home with no children. He has never been around cats, but he has shown prey drive towards other small animals like squirrels and rabbits. He will likely do best as a singleton animal. Our dog is so sweet and goofy. He’s got that classic border collie neuroticness. He loves car rides and playing fetch. In the summertime, he likes to chill out in one of those kiddie pools. We are based in the Harrisburg area.

Story
Meet Addy, a bright and playful 2-month-old Border Collie mix ready to learn and grow with her new family. Currently weighing 11 pounds and full of cheerful energy, she loves people and enjoys entertaining herself with all kinds of toys. Addy is working on mastering her basics like house and crate training and is being introduced to walking on a leash.She does well with other dogs and shows a curious interest in cats, though a proper introduction is still needed. An apartment would be suitable for her, provided she receives plenty of outdoor time for play and learning. A quick study, she is already responding to simple commands. True to her puppy spirit, Addy can be squirmy and isn’t quite a lap dog yet, but she calms when held close. She is making wonderful progress and seeks a patient, active home for her adventures.Addy is located in Houston, TX. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.

These pups are in York, Pennsylvania too!

Story
Hi, I’m Fruit by the Foot! I’m a playful, smart, medium-energy girl who loves long walks, yard time, chasing balls, and then crashing on the couch for snuggles. I walk beautifully on leash, know commands like sit, stay, down, leave it, wait, and come, and I love having a routine. I can be reserved at first—especially with men—but once I feel safe, I bond deeply and will follow my favorite person around with the cutest little wiggle. I’d do best in a female-led home (or with a very patient, calm male), no cats, and no young kids. I can be selective with other dogs and need thoughtful introductions. I’m crate trained, thrive with structure, and would love an active person who enjoys walking and adventure as much as I do. With patience and consistency, I’ll be your loyal, fun-loving best friend. 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #: 3537

Story
Current Location: Nokesville, VA Hello there! My name is Winter, and I’m as magical as my name suggests ❄️🐾 I arrived at my OPH foster home on 2/18. I'm settling in and showing everyone just how sweet, playful, and snuggly I am. Be sure to check back for updates on my blossoming personality and, of course, plenty of adorable photos! A Little About Me… I’m a happy, curious puppy who loves to play ball! Toss it once, and I’ll be your biggest fan forever. Fetch time is the best time, especially when I get to celebrate with tail wags and puppy zoomies. I’m also a very special girl because I’m deaf — but don’t worry, that just means I’m learning the world in my own amazing way. I’m currently working hard to learn hand signals, and I’m super smart! With patience, love, and consistency, I’ll pick them up in no time. If you’d like to learn more about the joys of living with and training a deaf dog, check out Deaf Dogs Rock — they have wonderful resources and inspiration. I’m Searching For… 🐾 A patient home where I won’t be left alone for more than about four hours (at least until I’m older). I’m still a puppy, which means if I get bored or lonely, I might accidentally make “creative decorating choices.” I promise I’m not naughty — just young! 🐾 A forever family — not a “for right now” family. As I grow, I’ll need guidance, structure, and lots of encouragement to become the very best dog I can be. Teaching me tricks like sit, stay, and come (with hand signals!) would be so much fun. Professional training would help us bond and set us up for success together. 🐾 And most importantly… love. I’m dreaming of a mom or dad who will snuggle with me, play ball with me, cheer me on while I learn, and love me forever and ever. I’m ready for my happily-ever-after. Could that be with you? If so, don’t wait — this kind of sweetness (and cuteness!) won’t be available for long. 💕
