Story
Hi, I’m Shockwave—but my foster family has been calling me Buddy! I’m a sweet, affectionate little guy whose favorite activity is pretty simple: being loved! I’m happiest cuddled up with my people, and I come with a permanently adorable case of bed head to complete the look. I currently live with three dogs, a cat, and a 9-year-old child, and my foster says I’ve gotten along wonderfully with everyone. I can be a little timid around men when I first meet them, but once I’m comfortable, my sweet and gentle personality takes over. I’m crate trained, walk very nicely on leash, and have a pretty low-key energy level, so I could potentially be just as happy in an apartment as I would in a house with a yard. I am still working on my house manners and have been marking indoors, so my foster has been using belly bands while we work on that. Overall, I’m a chill, cuddly, easygoing boy who doesn’t ask for much—just a comfortable place to land and plenty of love. If you’re looking for an affectionate little companion who would happily spend his days by your side, come meet me! 3159 Susquehanna Trail N York PA 17406 Kennel #3537

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!

Meet Marcy, one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. She absolutely loves affection and would be perfectly happy spending her days soaking up all the love from her humans. Marcy isn't interested in toys—people are her favorite thing! She would do best as the only dog in the home, simply because she enjoys her personal space and isn't a fan of other dogs getting right in her face.  She doesn't mind cats at all. If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who just wants to love and be loved, Marcy might be your girl.

Story
Hello world! My name is Charlie and I`m on the hunt for my `furever` home! I came to the shelter when my last family thought it was best to find me a home where I could thrive to my fullest potential! I came all the way from Puerto Rico so you can consider me an adventurer, who especially loves long walks and hikes with my favorite humans. I also enjoy the company of other dogs as long as they aren`t too rough with me! I am an all-star pup who knows some basic commands and I`m house broken and crate trained! I do ask any kiddos in the home to be 5 and older, who can give me space and won`t touch my paws, so no in-home `pawdicures` for me! I`m not sure how I feel about cats, but with my breed we are known to have high prey drives, so with a dog savvy cat, I may be able to coexist with one! Do I sound like the perfect addition to your family? If so, come by the shelter and meet me today!---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org

Story
I adopted Lewis as a puppy 5 years ago, and he has lived up to the border collie in him. He loves running, playing frisbee, going on walks and smelling all the plants, and he’s very good with both cats and children. He’s good with dogs he knows, but protective to dogs he doesn’t. He has a seizure disorder and takes daily medication to manage it (about $30/month) Since having two small children in the last two years, as well as acquiring a job where I travel frequently, I have become less and less available to give Lewis the love and outdoor time he deserves. He would spend hours outside if he could. His confinement indoors has made him paranoid and barks frequently when left alone. Overall he’s a happy boy and deserves to have a home who can give him the outdoor time and love he deserves

Story
I have had Ella since she was 10 wks old. My ex husband gave her to me as a wedding present and she was my everything through our divorce so please know this decision is not being taken lightly. Ella is not a bad dog, she just needs a home with older kids or no kids and someone who is able to give her more attention. We have had 4 kids in the last 3 years with the youngest currently being 7 month twins. So at no fault of her own, Ella no longer gets the love and affection she needs. She is great with the babies! Extremely protective of them. But lately is starting to get between the babies and my 3yr old and growling at him. We are at a point where unfortunately we need to rehome her to keep our babies safe. Ella has never truly been aggressive toward anyone. She is a sheep dog so she does "herd" strangers. She does bark at people who walk by the house and people who enter the house but has never aggressively bit anyone. We recently had blood work done and she is in perfect health.
