Story
Wicked: For Good fans, look no further! While the first four years of “Elphie” Elphaba’s life were Something Bad, she is looking forward to Defying Gravity with her forever family. It only took One Short Day to change this 4-year-old beauty’s life. Now, she is Dancing Through Life and thriving! She is sure to be Popular with her soulful brown eyes and cuddly, snuggly personality. She loves relaxing by her people and laying on the floor where the sun can hit her belly. Elphaba will ALWAYS be the first one to greet you at the door with tail wags and kisses! She has LOVED belly rubs from the moment she entered foster care! There is not a Wicked bone in her body; she’s Not That Girl. Elphie is great in her crate. Aside from being crate trained, she is also housebroken and has never had an accident. She enjoys her walks, does well on a leash, and was a quick learner! She is extremely smart and caught on quickly. Like most dogs, Elphaba does great with structure and a consistent routine. Some regression is normal in a new home, though. Elphaba gets along very well with other dogs, but she would also do well as an only dog. She has not been fostered in a home with children, but she is kind to children who want to pet her while on walks. Elphaba is up-to-date on vaccines, monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventative, and is spayed and microchipped. Elphie says, “As Long As You’re Mine, everything will be Wonderful!” Are you ready to be changed For Good? Apply to adopt Elphaba today at www.zoeshouserescue.com!

Story
Meet Your New Pocket‑Sized Sidekick: Birdie Mae!! (Aka: Bird Dog, Bird, Birdie Girl) This little 10‑pound Shih Tzu may be tiny, but her personality is huge. She’s the perfect mix of calm companion and spirited sidekick—equally happy curled up in a blanket on the couch as she is trotting around the yard with the big dogs. She enjoys watching the neighborhood from her bird nest on the back of the couch! About Birdie: • Great personality — affectionate, social, and full of charm • Small but mighty — currently living with a large golden, a 90‑lb Rottie, and a 45‑lb mix, and she keeps up with all of them • Dog‑savvy kids only — best suited for respectful, experienced kids ages 8+ • Potty trained — uses a fenced yard reliably and also walks beautifully on leash, pottying on walks too. Regression is possible and expected when transitioning to a new environment. • Professional napper — loves to sleep anywhere…be it right next to you or burrowed into every blanket she can find. • Spayed and ready for her forever home 🩺 Special Care She does have allergies that require ongoing care and medical visits. • Daily medication • Special food • Medicated baths • Regular grooming to help keep her skin healthy and her hair neatly done. She’s doing wonderfully with her routine and will thrive with a family committed to maintaining her care plan. She’d love a home where she can be included, adored, and kept on track with her allergy care. And maybe even some friendly canine siblings to snuggle with!!!

Story
hi Darla, this pretty lady is a 8-year-old, 20 lbs. Shih Tzu / Bichon mix. She was surrendered to our care with another dog from commercial breeder when they was no longer needed. Darla spent many years being used for nothing more than profit so she is understandably a bit confused in her new life. She allows all handling but she is very timid. She will do her best imitation of a statue when meeting new people so she is looking for a loving and patient home that will help her gain more confidence. She really needs a home with a social dog to help her. She would need to meet any resident dogs. She will come spayed, vaccinated, microchipped and 4dx tested. She is also scheduled for a dental evaluation and will receive it as the vet deems is necessary. If you are serious about adoption, please fill out an adoption application on our website www.phoenixanimalrescue.com Her adoption fee is $475.

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! I'm a sweet, sweet pup.  LOVE other dogs.  I'm not going anywhere without a fenced yard and another dog to play with.  I came from a bad situation and he's now in jail and I want to LOVE life FUREVER Requirements:  Fenced Yard.  Another small dog in the house.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!
