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!

Story
🐾❤️ Meet Marco — Your Future Netflix & Chill Bestie! ❤️🐾 Marco may be a little guy, but he has a whole lot of love to give! 🥹❤️ This sweet boy has been through more than any dog should in his little life, and now he’s ready for his happily ever after. Marco is a Netflix-and-chill kind of gentleman. Forget the wild parties and crazy adventures. Give this boy a fluffy bed, a cozy blanket, and a human to love, and he’s living his absolute best life! 🛋️🐶 We suspect Marco may have experienced abuse before coming into rescue. Loud voices and sudden movements can make him cower in fear, so he’s looking for a quiet, patient, loving home where he can finally feel safe. Despite his fears, Marco doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his little body. He’s just a gentle soul learning that the world can be kind. ❤️ 🐾 A little more about Marco: * 🏡 Doing great with house training! * 🐶 Gets along well with other dogs. * 🐱 Couldn’t care less about cats! * 👧 Good with respectful, gentle children. * 🤫 Quiet little guy who rarely barks. * 💤 Professional fluffy-bed and blanket enthusiast. * ❤️ Wants nothing more than a human to call his very own. Marco will probably never be the life of the party, but he’ll absolutely be the love of someone’s life. He’s not asking for much. Just a soft place to land, a little patience, and someone who will love him as fiercely as he’ll love them. Marco doesn’t need a perfect home. He just needs HIS person. Someone who will show him that the scary days are behind him and that he’s finally home for good. 🥹❤️ Could you be Marco’s forever Netflix buddy? 🐾 Apply to adopt Marco through TRU Rescue! ❤️
