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! Hi, I’m Julie — and I’m one lucky little lady! I’m just a tiny thing who landed in a rural shelter with no fanfare, no fancy bed, and no plan. My time was up. Another rescue almost saved me… but they backed out last minute. I was actually scheduled to die. But then—plot twist! &#226&#156&#168 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue said “Not today!” and gave me my FREEDOM RIDE! &#226&#156&#168 Now I’m safe in a loving foster home, snuggling with kind humans and enjoying soft beds, good food, and belly rubs. They say I’m a really really good girl. But there’s one little thing missing… I’d LOVE a young pup friend to run, zoom, and play with! My foster fam is full of adorable seniors who prefer naps and soft jazz, and I’m ready for some adventures! &#226&#156&#133 Do you have a fenced yard? &#226&#156&#133 Do you have a playful pup looking for a best friend? &#226&#156&#133 Do you believe in second chances? Then I’m your girl. Please fill out an adoption app at 2ndChance4LifeRescue.org — and let’s set up a play date! Love, JulieVisit 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!
