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! Layla is a very shy, timid dog who will require a patient and understanding adopter. She came from a hoarding situation and has not had the opportunity to experience the stability and consistency of a normal home. As a result, she can become overwhelmed by excessive movement, activity, or commotion in the household. Layla is a very sweet dog, but she is not an immediate-confidence dog. Her adopter must be prepared to give her the time she needs to decompress, adjust, and build trust. She may initially be fearful and reserved, and she should never be rushed or pressured into interactions before she is ready. Layla would do best in a quiet, calm home with another small, friendly dog who can provide companionship and help her feel more secure. A busy household would not be appropriate for her. A securely fenced yard is required for Layla.  Layla is a sweet girl who deserves the opportunity to feel safe and learn what a loving home is. She will need an adopter who is willing to respect her boundaries, allow her to progress at her own pace, and give her the time she needs to become the dog she is meant to be. REQUIREMENTS: Another small dog,  Fenced Yard 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!

Rosie is a super friendly dog. She gets along well with other animals. We need to find a home because my daughter has mental health issues and is in and out of the hospital. I am not physically capable of taking care of her.

Story
Everyone, meet Pumpkin!  She is the most pawfectest Pug that ever walked the pumpkin patch. Pumpkin is a 3year old retired breeding mama who has adapted to the good life very quickly.  She very much enjoys being an inside dog and getting all the snuggles and love there is to give.   Hi Everyone, I’m Pumpkin, or Fat Head as my foster mommy calls me which I think is hilarious because my head is actually super tiny compared to my large and in charge figure.  I think she might be blind lololol I was recently sprung from life as a farm dog and boy do I LOVE my new life.  I have lots of doggie and kitty friends to play with.  My foster mommy and sister are so nice and give me all the hugs and cuddles.  And let me just tell you, this thing called a couch… it is SOOO awesome.  I could lay on this thing all day long 😉 I am a really good girl. I get along with everyone and everything and would fit into any household just fine.  I do not have a lot of experience on a leash, yet, so a fenced in yard is a must! Plus, I absolutely LOVE to run zoomies full speed around my yard until I crash. I hope thats not too much to ask for.  Pumpkin is fully vetted, UTD on all her vaccines, microchipped, spayed and had a full dental with multiple teeth extractions. And by multiple I mean almost all of them. But don’t fret, it doesn’t affect her in anyway. She is still just as happy and hungry as ever 🤣 If you are looking for a super fun, spunky, snorty, flat faced friend, I'm your girl <3 Please apply at www.zoeshouserescue.com, I’d love to meet you Kennel license 9117 Reading Pa 19608

Story
Sweet Auggie has had a rough hand dealt to her, through absolutely no fault of her own. 💔 We rescued her from a local shelter in July, and she was happily adopted and living her best life. Sadly, her owner experienced a serious health issue and had to make the heartbreaking decision to return her to us.Now, this 10-year-old sweetheart is looking for her forever home once again! ❤️ Auggie LOVES everyone and happily greets every person she meets. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and cats, and don't let her age fool you — she still has plenty of pep in her step! She enjoys going for walks, exploring the world, and keeping tabs on everything happening around her. She's earned the nickname "The Nosey Dog" because she always wants to know what everyone is up to! 😂 Auggie has so much love left to give, and she deserves a home where she can finally settle in and stay forever. Could that be with you? 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2. Call your vet and references to inform them that a rescue representative will be calling. 3. Complete adoption application and submit following appropriate link below: Dog/Puppy: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Dog Cat/kitten: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/HRMD/Cat It takes us about 1-3 days to process applications. Once approved, we ask that all members of the household (including dogs) be available for meeting the animal within 3 days. If the meeting goes well, you will submit payment electronically and be able to take your new family member home with you immediately! If for whatever reason you do not take the animal home after the first meeting, please understand that we will continue to process applications for the animal and availability is not guaranteed. 4.

Story
Meet Sage! This sweet lady came to us looking for a new home. She is sweet and affectionate and loves to roll around for attention. While she may be and older gal, she still has lots of energy and lots of love to give. She would be open to living in a home with children of all ages. We also feel she could do well with a canine companion with a proper introduction here at the shelter. She also may do well in a home with cats with a slow introduction in the home. If you have room in your home and heart for this lovey girl come down to the shelter and get to know her!---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
Meet Raya: Raya is about a 2 year old (as of August 2026) boxer mix that weighs 40 pounds. Raya was surrendered to a high kill shelter with her litter of 7 puppies when we were able to rescue them from there. Raya is currently being fostered in the Mountville, PA area and would love to meet her forever family. Raya is a very, very sweet girl! She's very friendly and loves to meet new people. She loves playing with toys or chomping on chew bones, and is food motivated. Raya just loves attention and affection from anyone willing to give it to her. She adores kids! Raya loves to play with and snuggle the resident dog in her foster home and would definitely thrive with a canine best friend. On rare occasions, she can become worried or defensive with other dogs when she’s overwhelmed or afraid she may lose something important to her, so thoughtful introductions, supervision around valued resources, and humans willing to learn her signals will help her thrive. Raya is very much a shadow dog that loves to be wherever her humans are. She spends her days curled up against her foster mama on the couch and playing with her foster fur sister. Raya loves being pet and will paw for more. While she can be a couch potato if you're having a lazy day, Raya is also very curious and always up for adventure! She could definitely keep up with an active family. She loves her morning routine of riding along to school drop off! Raya is both crate trained and house trained. Raya loves going for walks and is working on not pulling when she gets excited.  She would be a great walking buddy. She also does well in the car. She will happily sleep overnight in her crate but also makes the best bed buddy! Raya is up to date on her shots and is spayed. If you are interested in a sweet lady, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application.
