American Bulldog puppies and dogs in Ephrata, Pennsylvania

My grandmother died a few years ago and so my uncle gave my grandfather a dog to keep him company. A dog that he did not ask for nor want. My grandfather has his own heath issues so he could not care for this dog. We took Otis in to avoid him going to a shelter. We can not give him the attention and care he need however amongst some other life changes that will be happening. He was previously found as a stray roaming Honey Brook, PA. Otis is a couch potato as he is an elderly dog. He is fine around cats as I have 5 and doesn’t have an issue with them. He also is fine around other dogs although he hasn’t been around a lot of other dogs. He does have chronic ear infections and a corkscrew tail that is susceptible to infection. He needs to be chemically restrained when going to the vet as he will try to snap and bite at you, especially if you’re trying to clean his ears. I’m hoping to find him and home that can and is able to provide him the care he needs during his golden years.

Hi, I’m Casper! Yes, that Casper, the friendly kind! I’m an all white American Bulldog/Pitbull mix with the softest heart and the politest manners you’ve ever seen. I have a cleft lip, which gives me extra character but zero problems. I eat, drink, and live my best life just like any other good boy (promise!). I currently live in a foster home with a super nice lady human, a small lady dog and some cats, and guess what? We’re all friends! I’m very respectful, very gentle, and honestly just happy to be included. I’d love a home with another dog because having a buddy helps me feel confident and comfy, like emotional support, but fuzzier. Let’s talk lifestyle. I am house broken, crate trained and a true gentleman. I don’t jump on people, I don’t counter surf, and I would never go through your trash, because what’s yours is yours babe! I only eat food that is lovingly placed into my very own glorified dog bowl. Potty time? I prefer a fenced in back yard to have my alone time over pottying on a leash with a supervisor. You know, a little privacy during these vulnerable moments. Now for the important stuff: Favorite hobby: Nap time Free time activity: Testing every bed to find the perfect nap spot Best pastime: Dreaming about napping I give the softest, sweetest kisses and take pride in being extremely polite. I also have a short, crinkly tail that my foster mom says adds a lot of pizzazz, idk what that means but it sounds cool right? I don’t really wag it… instead, when I’m happy, I shake my whole booty. Sometimes that turns into full-body happy boy shakes. Think Dancing With the Stars, but make it Casper the Ghost Edition. If you’re looking for a gentle soul, a professional nap companion, and a very good boy who will love you quietly and deeply… I might just be your guy!

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! Chance came to us after sitting/laying on a concrete kennel floor with a "breeder" who didn't know what to do with a puppy that couldn't use his back legs :(  We were contacted and although we typically do not take large dogs we felt the need to help. We had him with 2 different vets both saying he would never walk again, even our medical director did not hold out any hope.  We just knew we had to try so the Director started researching and working on his back legs and then we started using a cold laser wand and a wheel chair and within months Chance went from the chair to what we called "wonky walking" and now he races around the field!!! Chance is a typical bulldog doing what he wants and he is big so making him do anything is definitely not easy LOL.  He has learned the hand signal for sit and he will do it on command because he knows he gets a treat :) He is good with most dogs but we have found he is not fond of shihtzu's.  At the ranch he lives with cats coming in and out and has no interest in them.  Now if they gave him a hard time I'm pretty sure it would be game on! Chance may as he gets old need to revert back to a cart so we are looking for a home with either no stairs or only 1 or 2.   I do not suggest Chance for small children he is WAY to rambuncious and for some reason very fixated on them. If you have the right setup for a dog like Chance please fill out an applicationVisit 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!

                                                                             KENNEL ID #18804 Meet Duck — Your New Couch Buddy Duck is a big, sweet, laid-back lovebug who’s ready to settle into a real home. This easygoing guy is happiest relaxing on the couch, going for nice leash walks, and hanging out with his people. If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate companion, Duck is your guy. Duck was rescued from a high-kill shelter in Tennessee just in time and is now safe, fully vetted, and preparing for his fresh start. He’s a house-trained, neutered boy who stays inside all night with no accidents. Duck walks well on leash, knows basic commands, and gets along beautifully with children, other dogs, and even cats. Weighing about 80 lbs, Duck is a sturdy, gentle presence with a soft heart. While his paperwork lists him as 4 years old, we believe he may be closer to 6–7 years old, which means you get all the perks of a mature dog—calm, predictable, and past the wild puppy stage. Duck would love a home where he can relax, be loved, and maybe share his days with a buddy who enjoys the simple things in life. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key best friend who’s already done the hard work of growing up, Duck is ready to meet you.  be your new best friend? Duck is hanging out with his rescuer and foster mom, Carol, in Tennessee. If you have any questions, please email her at  abandonedangelsinc@gmail.com . Adoption Fee $300 Donations are desperately needed and greatly appreciated for medical care. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/abandonedangelsinc  Thank you for your interest in rescue.  If you would like to be considered for  adoption,  please submit an application to adopt.  If you have any questions regarding the adoption process, please email:  rescuedp2024@icloud.com  or ddlu219@yahoo.com   for dog/puppies.    APPLICATIONS TO ADOPT : DOG     CAT     BIRD      REPTILE       SMALL ANIMALS        January 27, 2026, 12:03 am

PERSONALITY : It's hard to believe that Lala hasn't been snapped up as yet. She's smart and loves everyone she meets. This energetic girl loves fresh veggies, fruit, ice cubes and a vigorous "butt scratch." Have you ever had that friend or relative that overstays their welcome? You know you have. Do not despair as there is a solution. Lala definitely has the bulldog "toots" that are guaranteed to clear out a room (or unwanted guests). Just remember to "breathe through your mouth". :) If you're looking for a dog with the personality of a potato, Lala is not the dog for you; lazy is not in Lala's DNA. If you want a hiking or running companion or a dog (with training) that would excel in lure coursing, agility, fly ball or any other high energy sport, Lala's your girl. Ahhh, if only there were a way to harness all that energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES : Lala is a high energy pup that loves to fetch... though she hasn't quite grasped the idea of releasing yet, she is working on it. Lala is a pup that never passes up the opportunity for a good game of tug of war. MEDICAL ISSUES : None. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Lala would do best in an active home with a fenced yard where she can run around to her heart’s content and burn some of that high energy off. Lala can quite play rough with other dogs. A home where she the only dog soaking up the attention or a home with another large male dog that matches her energy would be best. Kids older than 12 would be best as Lala may knock a smaller child down. Lala would greatly benefit from positive reinforcement obedience classes. Though Lala loves to go for a ride, she does get car sick so best not to feed her before she hops in the car.
