Story
Meet Rocco: Rocco is estimated to be about a 2 year old (as of December 2025) chihuahua mix (best guess) that weighs 16 pounds. Rocco was found as a stray around some garbage cans looking for food. Rocco is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Rocco has a very sweet personality. Rocco gets along well with other dogs. Rocco can be a little shy at first but warms up quickly. Rocco loves snuggling in your lap and is a really sweet boy. Due to Rocco’s size, we would recommend a home with children over 7 or children with dog experience. Rocco is house trained and prefers to cuddle in bed at night with you. We would love for Rocco to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely, but it is not a requirement. Rocco is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in a warm, snuggly friend, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Mississippi, awaiting transport to PA ##2606473##

Story
"Do you like Velcro dogs?  Are you looking for a shadow/cuddle buddy?  Do you like to take walks?  If so, Gerald and his extra large kissable ears would love to meet you! Gerald demands to be in the presence of his people at all times and gets along with three other dogs of similar size in his current foster home.  Gerald has free run of the house when the humans are not at home and is not destructive.  He enjoys sleeping in the humans' bed and hanging out in the fenced back yard.  Need a watchdog? Gerald has a seal-like bark that makes him sound larger than he truly is.  Although initially suspicious of strangers and visitors, Gerald warms up quickly and settles down with bribes of treats and attention.  He thrives on human interaction and just wants to give and receive love. Gerald is estimated to be about a 7 year old (as of August 2025) chihuahua / Jack Russel terrier mix that weighs around 16 pounds. Gerald is currently being fostered in the Lancaster, PA area and would love to meet his forever family. Gerald has a little bit of hair loss due to a previous flea allergy. With or without the fur, Gerald is a handsome guy. He is good with other dogs that are his size. He is still active, although not as playful as the younger pups. He would do best in a home without cats, as his prey drive kicks in when he sees the foster's cats. Gerald is house trained. We would love for Gerald to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely, however it is not a requirement. Gerald is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in gaining a little shadow and giving him a great home, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Jake: Jake is about a 1 year old (as of June 2025) chiweenie or perhaps a rat terrier/weenie mix (best guess) that weighs about 29 pounds. Jake was found with 2 other dogs, that we presume are his brothers, dumped in a forested area in rural Tennessee. These poor babies didn’t have any food or water near them and were luckily rescued in time to rehabilitate to good heath! Jake is currently being fostered in the Lititz, PA area and would love to meet his forever family! Jake is extremely playful, energetic and friendly. Jake gets along well with other dogs in the house he is being fostered in. Jake seems too small to be threatening to cats. Jake is a great little dog and will make a great family pet. Jake is currently using a doggie door to go outside and may require some patience adjusting to a more traditional house training method. Jake is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in adding this sweet little guy into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Story
Meet Murphy: Murphy is estimated to be about a 10 year old (as of January 2026) long haired chihuahua mix (best guess) that weighs 9 pounds. Murphy was found abandoned, underweight and suffering in the woods by a hunter. Murphy is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Murphy is a sweet senior dog who has had a tough run. Murphy was found with a flea allergy and infestation, but is recovering nicely. Murphy’s eyes aren't producing tears and one eye is ulcerated fairly badly because of it. Even though it's doubtful that he can see very well from the one damaged eye, he gets around the house unhindered. He's not as playful as a puppy but he's not a hospice case either. Murphy greets you when you come home and is very friendly and appreciates attention and being petted. Murphy is house trained to a doggie door currently and may need some patience while adjusting to a new process. We would love for Murphy to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely, but it is not a requirement. Murphy is up to date on his shots and neutered. If you are interested in showing this sweet boy love for the rest of his years, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.

Story
Chili is a Chihuahua/Yorkie mix that is approximately 8 months old and weighs 4 lbs. He’s an affectionate little boy with a big personality who is loving, happy, and playful. He’s extremely fast when he has the zoomies and loves to curl up with you at any time. Our older dog is having a hard time with such a young dog. Chili gets along with children and other dogs, not sure how he is with cats or other animals. He’s up-to-date on shots. He hasn’t been neutered yet. He’s close to being completely housebroken and alerts us when he needs to go out. He's collar shy, which we've been working on.

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! I'm a 'northerner' now!  You people talk funny but I'm getting used to it.  Still not sure what a soda is I mean it looks like 'pop' to me and I want to play in the crick but the dogs here call it a creek that's just wrong next thing you know they will be telling us not to say ya all!!Anyhoo I have 1 brother and 2 sisters.  We are super tiny so we are not going to be adopted to homes with big dogs and we are also not going to homes with children.  2nd Chance told us we don't have to worry they will find us the perfect FUREVER homes and humans that won't make ANY excuse to get rid of us!   We are all pretty excited!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!
