Story
Meet Ripp: Ripp is estimated to be about a 5 year old (as of January 2026) rat terrier mix (best guess) that weighs 28 pounds. Ripp was surrendered by his owners to Animal Control in Brownsville, Tennessee early this year after they said they just didn't want a dog anymore. Luckily Charlie’s Crusaders heard of him and were able to get him into the rescue. Ripp is currently being fostered in the south and would love to take the freedom ride north to Pennsylvania to meet more prospective families. Ripp is a friendly little fellow that requires no time to get to know you. Ripp is playful and gentle and wants to be near you. Ripp is currently house trained to a doggie door and may need some patience while adjusting to a new method. We would love for Ripp to have a home with a fenced in yard so he can play freely. If you are interested in adding this little man into your life, please go to Charlie’s Crusaders website (www.charliescrusaders.org) to fill out an application. CURRENT LOCATION: Tennessee, awaiting transport to PA ##2639006##

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! Daisey is an incredibly sweet, loving dog who adores everyone she meets. She is currently learning basic training with her foster family and is eager to please. Daisey also enjoys car rides and makes a wonderful companion for outings. She dosent seem to mind cats. Her ideal forever home will include another dog for companionship and a securely fenced yard where she can safely play and burn off energy. REQUIREMENTS: Fenced yard, Another fur friend   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!

Angel is a tail-wagging bundle of energy who lights up every room she enters. She loves attention, but what she really adores is running, playing, and spending time with other dogs. Super energetic, Angel would thrive on walks, hikes, or just zooming around in a securely fenced yard. Shes good with cats. :) Her forever home must include another dog to keep her company and a safe space to burn off her endless energy. :) REQUIREMENTS: Fenced Yard, Another dog 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.

Story
Meet Morsel, a gentle young adult whose world hasn’t always been kind. She came from a severe hoarding case, and because of that, she’s still learning that people, homes, and love can be safe. Morsel is very shy and skittish, and she needs time to observe, breathe, and decide she trusts you — but when she does, it’s incredibly special. Morsel is searching for a truly patient, understanding adopter, ideally someone with experience with timid or fearful dogs. She won’t be your instant best friend, but she has so much potential waiting just beneath the surface. With consistency, calm reassurance, and zero pressure, she can continue to blossom. Other dogs are her comfort zone. Morsel is wonderful with dogs of all sizes, naturally submissive, and must have another dog in the home to help her feel safe and confident. A canine companion is not just a preference for her — it’s a necessity. Because she’s sensitive, Morsel would do best in a quieter household. Children should be older and respectful, able to understand that love sometimes means giving space and letting trust grow slowly. Morsel has a spay appointment scheduled for 3/24/2026 in the Reading, PA area. If you believe in second chances, quiet victories, and the beauty of earning a dog’s trust day by day, Morsel may be the soul you’ve been waiting for. Sometimes the most rewarding love is the one you have to grow together.   Available 2/7/26 Mostly Muttz Rescue, PO Box 406, Gilbertsville, PA 19525PA Kennel License 10872 ##2641184##
