Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please contact Ruth (ruthe.mumma64@gmail.com) for more information about this pet. 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! Hello ya all,My name is Archie and I just can't wait to meet ya.  I'm a wonder all around wonderful dog who just loves to play fetch with a tennis ball.  My foster mom say's I'm so hansome  with my white coat with patches of brown.  I'm enjoying playing my new siblings.  I would love a forever family with another dog and even children since I love to play with them too and take walks.   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!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bailey is a beautiful, 1 year old, 12 pound Shih Tzu looking for her happily ever after! She is very outgoing, and loves to snuggle, play with toys, and be silly. She lived her life in a tiny closet before coming to us so she is learning how to be a dog. She will potty on pee pads and outside, but is always wanting her human along for support. She is all finished with her vetting, and in perfect health despite her rough start. Bailey rides well in a car, is crate trained, great with other young dogs, and will be a wonderful addition to a lucky family! To adopt Bailey, 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! NOTE - Bailey will not be adopted with her littermate, Brookland.  PA Kennel License 17652 Lebanon, PAVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 15, 2025, 4:06 pm

Story
Meet Tucker – the sweetest senior gentleman around! Tucker is a 14-year-old sweetheart who’s ready to spend his golden years surrounded by love. This gentle old soul is friendly with everyone he meets — dogs, cats, kids — you name it! He’s perfectly housebroken and has the calm, easygoing nature that only comes with age and wisdom. Tucker’s previous owner loved him dearly but could no longer care for him, so now he’s hoping to find a forever home to cherish him through his senior days. He’s a total lovebug who enjoys being near his people, soaking up attention, and sharing quiet moments together. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with warmth and affection, Tucker is your guy. ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Review our adoption contract and application. 2.
