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! Tiger Lily came with Freedom from a rescue who had to close their doors.  We are all struggling with the weight of all the unwanted animals and the extreme cost of vet care.  We are grateful at this time we are capable of continuing the work.  Tiger Lily is getting used to the cats in the Meow Wow House but we are sure she would much prefer a home of her own :)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!

Hi i’m Jynx! Some nice people found me in a campground and took me in and took care of me until 2nd Chance could take me in. I’m a little shy at first, but once i start getting pets and chin scratches i melt in your hand and warm up quickly. i’m a quite gentle soul. Im pretty laid back and enjoy just lounging and getting pets. I do enjoy playing with a string wand too!!!! I don’t mind other kitties as long as my people understand slow and steady introductions. I don’t pay any mind to the dogs running around the ranch. Won’t you please let me have a forever home???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.

This quirky little void is quite a character. He is shy at first- but once he trusts you, he will come out and INSIST on pets for quite a while; and he lets you know exactly how he likes it! His voice is more of a squeak, and his purrs are loud. You'll get love nibbles when you're giving him attention, and kisses too! Come meet this little stinker soon.

Meet Toby 🐾 Toby is a handsome adult brown tabby with a sweet, gentle personality. He loves being pet and will happily soak up all the affection you have to give—especially when it’s paired with his favorite thing: wet food! While Toby prefers to keep all four paws on the ground and isn’t a big fan of being held, he shows his appreciation in his own calm, loving way. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion who enjoys attention on his terms and will be your biggest fan at mealtime, Toby could be the perfect match for you.
