Story
Maverick is almost three years old and can be an extremely sweet boy. We adopted him from Loving Care Cat Rescue with his sister. Sadly, his sister was diagnosed with cancer and passed in 2023. Maverick is house trained, and loves a good place to snuggle, especially a warm lap. When feeling playful, however, he can be aggressive. He has swiped at people when playing and can be very rambunctious. We are looking for a patient, caring home or an experienced pet owner- preferably without children and other pets at this time.

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. 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!October 14, 2024, 6:08 pm

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
Hello! My name is Lisa and I'm 11 years old and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. I am a sweet girl who is super social, loving and great with kids and even strangers! I love my family so much and want to go to another family who can afford my diabetes treatment. I was recently diagnosed and my vet has all my records. I haven't started medication yet but there are 2 options - Insulin or liquid medicine. I am currently eating a diabetic food now. My family loves me so much and wants me to go to a loving home so please reach out to my owner if you have any questions and are interested in making a forever home for me. Thank you! 😊

Story
Rosie and Simba are two little lovebugs looking for a home, alongside the rest of their litter! These two little angels are from a mixed litter, and are between 6-8 months old. They were found as part of a roaming cat colony in our neighborhood, and we quickly took them in once we managed to coax them out of hiding. They've been through a lot this year; between losing some of their littermates before we took them in and lots of moving around, they're looking to settle down with a warm, happy, and loving family. As experienced cat owners, we will send Rosie and Simba home with you alongside a guide to keeping your new kittens happy and healthy! Rosie and Simba are a bonded pair, and love to sleep, cuddle, and play together! They're almost inseparable, and are always very excited to see you. If you're interested, we do have two other bonded pairs to go as well! The more the merrier!
