Story

Opie is healing very well from his urethral surgery! He has his follow-up appointment this Thursday and we know he will pass with flying colors. He would love to find his forever home possibly as soon as this weekend! At 3 years old, this handsome rat terrier mix weighs around 25 lbs and is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, and current on his preventatives. He originally found his home as a pup, but due to dishonest information of his previous owners, Opie was surrendered back to our rescue. Having spent his entire life in a home he thought was his forever, he does take a day or two to warm up to people and other dogs. However, he does love treats—give him some yummy goodies and he'll be your best friend before you know it! Once he trusts you, his loyalty is forever and his fun-loving side emerges. A few things to know about Opie: • Leash Manners: He is a superstar on walks and handles a leash wonderfully! He loves being outside and even prances when he walks. Looking for a hiking companion, look no further. • People-Focused: He is happiest right by your side and much prefers hanging out with his human over spending time in a crate once he is comfortable. • Personality: A gentle, loyal soul looking for a patient, loving forever home to help him start his next chapter in a safe environment where he can settle in at his own pace. If you have room in your heart and home to give this sweet boy the security and second chance he deserves, please Apply Now to get pre-approved! https://forms.gle/LDjduj2zTk7vvmHU7 Opie is being fostered in Littlestown, PA.

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! Cash and Gizmo are two very very sweet boys! They both love people and get along well with other dogs. They are both 1 year old, Cash and Gizmo adore each other and have been together since the very start. They would do amazing in a home with a securely fenced yard for them to get their zoomies out and enjoy the fresh air :). They literally are volunteer favorites :) REQUIRES - Fenced YardVisit 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! October 14, 2026, 3:22 pm

Story

Lola is the most loving dog I’ve ever met. I’ve had her since she was about 4–5 months old, and she has truly been my best friend. She is completely house-trained, calm and well-behaved in the home, but has plenty of energy and loves to play. She absolutely loves affection, belly rubs, attention, and being around her people.Unfortunately, due to a major change in my living situation, I’m no longer able to give Lola the stable home she deserves. This is an extremely difficult decision, so I’m looking for a loving, stable family who will treat her like part of the family and give her plenty of attention and exercise. A home with a yard would be wonderful for her. I will be selective because finding the right home for Lola is very important to me.

Story

LOCAL ADOPTION ONLY. Peabody is a 2-year-old Rat Terrier mix (we think). He was pulled into our rescue from an over-crowded, rural, KY shelter because he was not tolerating the environment well and was shut down. He was terrified when first arriving at his fosters home. It took time…but not much. We have video evidence that he is a Velcro mix. He likes dogs about his size, but gets passive-aggressive with bigger dogs. Meaning he runs his mouth. He would have no problem with another, playful dog or being the one-and-only. He likes to watch TV on the couch, beside you, with his eyes closed. He will be the big spoon every night and knows how to fit perfectly into the small of your back. Peabody will likely need the expected 3 days to decompress in a new environment. But once he has stopped fretting, he’ll be melting like butter in your lap. We think Peabody needs to find that doesn’t require transport, so applications must be local to TN. I need to be adopted in Crossville, Tennessee. FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN. The adoption fee Includes Age-Appropriate Vaccinations (DA2PPV, Bordetella, Rabies), Deworming, Spay/Neuter, Microchip, Flea/Tick/Heartworm Prevention, and Sheltering. Adult Dogs are Heartworm Tested and Treated as Needed. FOCCAS does not DNA test or guarantee breed. Peabody's adoption fee is $300.If transport is needed, there are additional fees to cover department of agriculture requirements and transport, the additional fee adds $300 to the adoption fee (any location out of Tennessee, East Coast, Great Lakes or New England regions)Thank You for Your Interest in Adopting a Canine Companion from Foccas-tn.org!To Apply Please Copy and Paste to your browser:https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=hb2428&method=online_form_html&formid=41
