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! Asters momma lived with her daughter and they were evicted.  Momma didn't have anywhere to go and her sister said she could come stay with them but Aster was not allowed :(  How heartbreaking.  Sweetest pup ever and had been with her momma since she was 8 weeks old.  No worries we at 2nd Chance LOVE our seniors so Aster has become a part of our family and although she came with a urinary tract infection she is now doing well and happy to be alive :)  Welcome to the family sweet lady!  You are LOVEDVisit 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
hi Benji Boy! This happy boy is a 22 pound, approx. 22 lbs. Jack Russell Terrier. He was found as a stray and brought to the local animal control shelter. Sadly, his owner declined to reclaim him so we scooped him up for the rescue. Beni Boy, true to his breed, is a happy and energetic pup! He is a true life of a party - always excited to see our volunteers, eager to explore and spend time in the play-yards. He will bring lots of laughter and joy to his forever home. He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped. Benji Boy had good dog meets in the animal control shelter and he would need to meet any resident dogs. If you are serious about adoption, please fill out the adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com. His adoption fee is $475.

Meet Spuzzy!Spuzzy lost his dad and came to us with his brothers, Falcor and Tiny Dog. Out of the bunch, Spuzzy is the easygoing one — a fluffy little fuzz ball who takes life as it comes. He’s laid back, gentle, and just happy to be part of the action without needing to be the center of attention. Spuzzy would love a family who appreciates his calm and go-with-the-flow nature. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or enjoying a quiet stroll, he’ll be right there by your side, content and full of love. If you’re looking for a sweet, mellow companion who will bring comfort and warmth to your home, Spuzzy may just be your perfect match.

Story
Roscoe is a precious boy who is looking for a special home with patient humans as he is learning that the world isn't all scary. He has made great progress in his foster home! For the first couple of weeks, he mostly stayed glued to the couch where he felt safest, and he gradually settled in and became more comfortable. He is now a happy boy who loves to snuggle with his foster mom and play with toys! He also give occasional kisses. He is still scared with new people and in new situations and will take time to settle in to a new home. Roscoe is house trained and does fine sleeping in his crate at night, though he prefers to sleep in bed with his human or in a dog bed nearby. He is generally quiet and rarely barks. He's a great work from home companion and is happy to lounge or chew on a nylabone toy for most of the day with a break for some time to run around and play outside. His foster mom thinks he is pretty perfect! He gets along with the other dogs in his foster home - he let them sniff him when he arrived and since then, they have mostly ignored each other. He might like to play with another dog, but the dogs in his foster home are grumpy seniors so he respects their space. Roscoe doesn't ask for much - he just wants to be safe and loved by humans who don't expect too much of him as settles in and continues to gain confidence. He is easily startled by unexpected noises and movements and would do best in a quiet, calm, and secure home.
