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!We are constantly being asked to help find a home for a helpless cat.  Typically it is someone is moving or the owner has died and there are only days to keep it from being tossed on the street or ending up in a kill shelter.PLEASE tell us what you are looking for in your next cat and we will process you application and call you when we have 'a fit'Thank you for caring enough to adopt instead of shop!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.

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.

Story
Pootz was found outside when he was a kitten. We believe he is about 2. He is very playful. He does bite and can be territorial. He is declawed (front) and neutered. We have no other pets so unknown on how he will do with other animals. If you are looking for a mellow cat, pootz may not be what you’re looking for… He is an orange cat so he has quite the personality. Loves to play and snuggle but on his own time. We are looking to rehome him as we are moving and they do not allow pets.

Story
I brought in a stray that my friend in Marysville had staying around her home, for my daughter in law at the time who was missing her parents. We did not realize she was expecting. July 5th she delivered Millie and her brother Charlie. They are both inside cats and Charlie is very attached to Millie. If he cannot find or see her he cries. Charlie and Millie are inside cats always have been. Both were fixed and both are front declawed as kittens and at that time all of their shots, but when my son and his wife moved to Tennessee these two stayed behind with me. They took the mother and one of the other kittens. Neither are very small. I am in need of finding immediate good homes for them due to homelessness. They do love to cuddle, but it is usually their choice. And they love scratches and attention. I really would love to keep them together because of their reliance on each other. Please contact me at (xxx) xxx-xxxx my name is Jill. Text would be great
