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!Cushion is precious.    Cushion was a heap of hair and smelled AWFUL of urine when she arrived.  Have no fear we had her professionally groomed immediately!  Her mom Candy is here also.Cushion is super sweet and very active.  They are not totally potty trained and will go to no one who has young children.  If you are looking for an awesome duo these two fit the bill :)NO childrenMUST have a fenced yardMUST be adopted with CandyVisit 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
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bino is a 1 year old, 12 pound Shichon looking for his happily ever after! He is a happy, healthy guy who loves his people after a few minutes settling into his new home. He also loves playing with other dogs, but prefers female dogs, or males that aren't dominate in personality. Bino is leash trained, but loves to run so he would like a fenced yard. He is crate trained and does need to eat his meals in a crate so he doesn't have to fear anyone will steal his food. He craves affectation and is learning he has to share the humans love in his foster home and is doing well with this. Bino just turned 1 and would benefit from training classes as well as continuing his socialization skills now that he is fully vetted. Bino does well in the car, does well with grooming, and is housetrained after the initial settle in period of a few days. All he needs is a committed family, guidance, and love to best the best boy ever! To adopt Bino, 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, neuter, and all the love you can handle!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 18, 2024, 1:10 pm

Story
Hi! My name is Presley and I'm a 1 y/o, female Shih Zu weighing in at almost 6 pounds. I was released from a commercial breeder and I am so happy to be learning how to live this new, wonderful life as a pet! Living in my foster home is really nice but now I'm on a mission to find my forever home. A little bit about me: I tend to be really shy around new people and in new situations so I'm looking for a family that will be patient with me at first while I get used to them and my new surroundings. Once I start to feel at home, watch out cause that's when my happy, fun loving personality really shines though! My foster mom says I'm the happiest pup she's ever had and my tail just never stops wagging. I'm especially happy when I'm around other dogs. I LOVE playing and snuggling with the resident pups in my foster home and I really hope my forever home has a pup or pups that will enjoy me as much as I enjoy them. I get along with all humans too but my ideal home would be one with no children or older, dog savvy kids that will be mindful of my tiny size. It would be awesome if my forever home had a fenced in yard for me to run around in but thats not a deal breaker for me because my foster mom has taught me how to go out to potty in the yard on a leash too. I'm fully potty trained by the way, but keep in mind that regression is normal in new environments until my routine is established. I am spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines and treated with monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative. I'm being fostered in Blandon, PA. If you're interested in adopting me, your family and your resident dogs must be willing to travel to my foster home to meet me. Are you ready to be part of my forever? If so, please apply online at zoeshouserescue.com Zoes House, Inc Kennel license # 9117 Po box 2372 Reading pa 19608

Story
Are you searching for the perfect lucky charm? Look no further, you've found her! Meet Clover, a three-year-old shih tzu/poodle mix. Clover is a sweet, friendly dog, and has puppy-level playfulness with none of the destruction! At only 14 lbs, she packs a lot of personality in her small frame! She loves to go for walks, play with her stuffed toys (and any scrunchies/socks her foster family leaves lying around), and snuggle with her family members. Clover is house trained, but some regression is expected when she is transitioning homes. She is friendly with other dogs, but would prefer a home where she can be the center of attention and get all of the affection her family can dole out! She loves respectful kids, but due to her petite size, and because she does not like to be squeezed, children in the family should be 8+. Clover loves cats... maybe more than they love her! She must have had feline friends before coming into rescue, because she likes to play with them. She will try to play 'chase' so her adopter would need to have a dog-friendly cat or a cat-free home. Clover considers herself a guard dog and likes to look out the window to let you know when visitors or packages are arriving. She follows her foster parents around the house and loves nothing more than to be with them. She will try to follow them out the door, so potential adopters will have to be careful she doesn't do so. School pickup is one of her favorite times of day, when she can see her kids and meet her canine neighborhood friends. She walks well on a leash, but prefers a harness over a collar. She also loves to run around her neighbor's fenced in backyard, so one in her adopter's home would be a plus, but not a requirement. She does not like to be crated, but is fine with gates. Clover prefers to be hand fed her food, or for her food to be placed directly on a silicone mat or plate vs. a bowl. She has a sensitive stomach, so new food and treats should be introduced slowly. Clover is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventatives, and has recently had a dental. Due to her fur, she will need to be brushed regularly and groomed every 6-8 weeks. Her adoption donation is $450. Do you have room in your home for the ultimate good luck charm? Apply today!
