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!The shelter named me Willard.  I am the SWEETEST boy EVER!!!  I just love life!  I have cushings so I can't go to anyone who does not have what my foster mom calls 'deep pockets'  My medicine is not cheap nor are my 4 month appointments to have my cushings tested.If you want a little love bug and have the ability to keep me medically healthy than please fill out an app.  We are estimating my age between 5-8 years oldVisit 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!May 25, 2023, 5:39 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Don’t’ let the name fool you. This very pretty 3 year old Shih-Tzu mix has beauty and brains. Beautiful Bella is incredibly smart, intuitive, affectionate, and sweet. She wants to please, be by your side as much as possible, and wants to be her special human’s one and only pet. Beautiful Bella, “Bella” for short, does not play well with others. Incredibly quick to learn commands, “leave it” when another dog or animal is involved is understood but is very difficult for her to abide. Bella is obsessed with balls of all kinds, including the ones at the bottom of her foster mother’s walker. Her favorite one, at one time white, now is so chewed up looks like a badly peeled boiled egg. Speaking of eggs, this girl has quite a varied appetite. She doesn’t over eat her meals but will go for all kinds of treats, including baby carrots, apples, the hard crunchy center of ice burg lettuce, and oh yeah gets really excited when the “peanut butter box” arrives. Peanut butter in a Kong is super delish!  Bella needs her human to be very active. Someone who hikes or jogs regularly would help keep this girl’s anxiety issues minimized. Unfortunately, Bella was abused and neglected and has come a long way with trusting new people. She has blossomed so much in her time at the rescue and with her foster mommy. More frequently, she now has become more courageous and happy to greet and meet new people. She can sense if you are a kind dog person. Bella needs a lot of kind, gentle, encouragement, and patience to help overcome her separation anxiety. A crate is very helpful when her human has to leave the house. She is quite vocal and shouldn’t live too close to other neighbors. She is quite talented and could be an opera star. She is definitely a lyric soprano! Beautiful Bella is an incredible dog and will forever be your loving and committed buddy and love bug. To adopt Beautiful Bella, please complete an adoption application at peacelovepoms.rescuegroups.org. The $350 adoption donation ($250 for senior citizens 65+) includes core vaccines (Rabies, Parvo/Distemper, and Bordatella), Accuplex (Heart worm and Lyme test), fecal, microchip, bloodwork, spay, and all the love you can handle!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 28, 2023, 10:24 am
