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! Well I was good enough as a puppy and now I am 1 and my owner wanted a new apartment that didn't allow me so she chose the apartment over me :(   Momma Lynn said that's ok since she didn't bother to get me to a vet for vaccines or to be neuter'd Momma Lynn says I deserve much better and she said don't worry she will be very picky about who gets me next YAY!!!  She said she won't send me to a home without a little dog to play with cause I really like having friends here!!  She says I gotta lose those "family jewels" quick though because apparently I am a little "over the top" with being "friendly"  Sooooo she is going to schedule my "nap time" (thats what Mike called it.  He said you take a nap and when you wake up you are missing your "family jewels" but you don't care).  I said OK doesn't sound to bad I rather like naps :) If you would like to meet me fill out an adoption application and we will schedule a play date with your "best friend" and see if we want to be "best friends"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!

Hello we are looking to rehome our dog named Boo. He is 5 years old, and he is great with kids, and other animals including cats! Boo would benefit being in a home with other animals so he can have a friend. Unfortunately due to our busy schedules. Boo is not getting the extra attention he yearns for. Boo is super affectionate and loves all sorts of people. He is definitely a lap dog. Please consider him in joining you and your family.

Story
OB 5-12-2019 Elias is a retired puppy mill worker, he was stuck in a cage for 5 years of his life from the time he was born. When he came he was so thin, his teeth were totally rotten and he couldn't eat. Well that was his old life, not his new life! Elias has been neutered, all teeth had to be removed, he was heartworm negative and is now on ProHeart6, up to date on all shots and has become a little on the porky side! Elias would love to have his own home now, something he never had hopes of is a reality for him now. Elias is crate trained, gets along with other little dogs, would love to be loved by someone who knew how special he is. Elias's adoption fee is 500.00, this transport fee is 165.00. Our transport is HEARTS LLC, the only one we use for our kids! The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here.

Story
Meet Alfredo – The Little Bowl of Love You’ve Been Waiting For! 🍝 ✨ Name: Alfredo ✨ Breed: Maltichon (Maltese + Bichon Frise) ✨ Age: 2 years Male ✨ Weight: 8 lbs of pure fluff and charm About Me: Hi, I’m Alfredo — creamy, dreamy, and just the right amount of cheesy. I love snacks, snuggles, and being the star of every selfie. After spending the beginning of my life in a breeding pen, I’m working on my house manners. I will need someone who will be patient with me as I learn the ropes of an indoor dog. My ideal human is someone who enjoys laughter, cuddles, and doesn’t mind sharing their lap (and snacks). Im polite with kids and other dogs, and am learning to play for the first time in my life! I may be a bit nervous to meet you but I will warm up quickly. I am neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and given a clean bill of health. 📩 Apply today — let’s make it official before someone else scoops up this little bowl of love!

Story
My sweet Linnie 💗 Linnie is a 10 year old Maltese little lady who was time stamped at ACCT Philly. Her owners surrendered her to the shelter because it was obvious by her breath that she needed a dental and they said they could not afford it. The team at Zoe’s House, with the help of our wonderful community, got her free of the euthanasia list and into a loving foster home. She was determined to have a serious heart murmur but with medication, she was cleared to undergo surgery to be spayed and to have a dental where the diseased teeth were removed. It was also determined that Linnie has some mammary masses, likely from not being spayed early in her life, which are likely cancerous. Her heart and age caution against the prolonged surgery to remove these masses. Linnie is on a daily heart medication and gabapentin for any discomfort. Linnie is unbothered. She is a lady who knows what she likes and what she wants. She enjoys her meals, long naps thereafter and loving in between. She travels fabulously in the car and walks well on a leash. She loves a pup cup 😋She is house trained and cares not for the crate. She doesn’t need it. She is a true lady who is just hoping to enjoy her golden years close by her human. She is being fostered with other small dogs and tolerates respectful interaction but she would love to be the center of your eye and heart. She is a joy❤️ Linnie is being fostered in Collegeville, Montgomery County. A home visit and meet and greet with all residents is part of the application process. She is up to date with vaccines and preventatives. She is microchipped. If you have room in your home and heart for this little lady, apply here >>> zoeshouserescue.com Zoe’s House Rescue Kennel license 9117 Reading, PA 19607
