Story
Originally I got Phoenix as a kitten from an old friend of mine. He got all original needed vaccinations when needed but due to him being an indoor cat I did not keep up on them - so those would need updated if necessary. Phoenix is very loving, playful and an overall amazing cat. He is about 3 years old. Due to circumstances we are in need of rehoming this precious boy - we hope to find him a new loving home with people who have the time to give him all the love he desires.

Story
My name is Cinders, I am a grey male that has been neutered and have my rabies shot. I am quite shy and would need patience and time to adjust to my new home. I have only had one caretaker and have always been inside. I love to play and chase my toys. Sometimes I think people's fingers and toes are toys too and grab for them when I feel like playing. I've always lived with my mom (Maggie) and sibling (Molly), we are quite attached and would love to be together with Molly as we start a new chapter. I really don't like being picked up and would rather just come to you for pets and attention. I am food driven, especially with those churro sticks. I would prefer to be in a home without young kids or dogs, they are too noisy and busy for me. Once I learn to trust you, I would be a good companion. I would love to finally have a forever home.

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! I am the sweetest little girl EVER!  I didn't have anyone love me and I found myself pregnant and alone. I was scared and I had no where to go. I had my babies alone under a deck :(  Finally someone saw me and my babies and called 2nd Chance, but unfortunately by then I had lost one of my babies :(  Now my 3 other little ones and me are safe in the arms of 2nd Chance. I'm spayed, housetrained, had my shots and am super sweet. I love kids but I am not fond of dogs. I can tolerate cats but would prefer to be an only pet. I am ready for someone to love me FUREVERVisit 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
Esme will be 6 in July. She was found abandoned at 4 weeks old and was bottle fed. She is not afraid to climb up on your lap while watching tv and loves to make biscuits. She will also welcome you home at door every time. She attends the vet regular, but needs a calming prescription to get her through the appointment. The vet says she’s stressed and may do better in a home where she is the only cat.
