Story
We adopted Dahlia into our family in 2020 when she was about 1. She was timid at first but she did warm up to us quickly so we didnt expect her anxiety to be an ongoing issue for the rest of her life. It was manageable as we learned her triggers, but now that our family is growing with kids, she has become more anxious because they are overstimulating to her. She was great with an infant, but our active toddler has her constantly on edge & we just welcomed another baby. Dahlia is protective over me, her female owner, and is not aggressive to her male owner but will show anxious tracking and ankle nipping behavior around other men in an effort to "protect." She barks often at sounds & has never bitten anyone in our family but will growl and yelp when winding down at night if anyone enters her space. All that being said she is playful, affectionate, friendly with other dogs, and extremely food motivated. We love her, but she would be more comfortable in a home without kids.

These pups are in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania too!

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 Rufus. Life took a turn I didn’t expect — my family couldn’t keep me or my best friend dexter anymore, so we ended up at the shelter. We waited and hoped they’d change their mind, but they never came back. It was scary and confusing, but 2nd Chance 4 Life Rescue told us that wasn’t the end of our story. Now I’m dreaming of a forever home where I’ll finally be loved and never have to say goodbye again. I’ve got a big heart, a gentle spirit, and so much love to give — I just need someone willing to give me a chance. I absouletly LOVE playing with dexter and they have promised us we will NOT be split and we will get to spend the rest of our lives together. Requirements: Fenced yard Bonded with DexterVisit 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!
