Story
Hey there, my name is Ruth Ann! I'm a young Shepherd mix looking for a new home. I did not come to the shelter under the best conditions but they are working to help me heal and learn to trust. I am very shy but with some patience and TLC I warm up and I am very sweet. I would like a home that has experience working with under-socialized dogs. I ask any children in the home be over 13 years old due to my nervousness and fear of new people. I could get along with another dog with a proper introduction, and I have lived with others before. However, my dog pals should be larger or similar in size. I am open to living with a cat with a slow intro as well. Once I come out of my shell I am very loving and would be a fantastic companion. If you think you could give me the home I deserve then come down and lets meet!---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S.

Story
Hey there, I'm Bonnie! I am a lovely and sweet pup looking to find my furever home. I can be a bit rambunctious and do have a stubborn side, but enjoy spending time with people! However, I do ask that any children be 3+. I may do alright with a dog companion, but would likely prefer them to be on the calmer side so I don't get overwhelmed. Additionally, I may do well with cats with a proper introduction. If you think I would be a perfect fit in your life, please visit and get to know me!---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org

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!UPDATE 3/5/2024:  Buddy is having some issues being 'stiff' but as long as you don't have stairs he does great.  He does guard his toys but if you do a trade with a snack he will give them up :)  Looking for a GS experienced ownerUPDATE:  Buddy is looking fantastic!!  He is a little 'stiff' in his old age but I told him its OK so am I!  He LOVES attention, he likes his toys and he is great with the dogs although I think he would be just as happy as an only dog he does fine with all the dogs here at the ranch :)I can only imagine how Buddy must have felt...  Like no one cared, defeated, ready to give up, a banquet for fleas and tics :(  It took us quite a while to get him back to health and still he deals with ear infections from repeated ones not being treated :(  No worries now big man you are loved and valued!Buddy you have your 2nd Chance and we are going to give you an amazing life!!REQUIRES FENCED YARD!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!August 7, 2024, 7:26 pm

Story
Maggie is a German Shepherd 10 years old. She is a big girl at roughly 100 lbs. She is create and house trained. She has not been exposed to children or other animals. But we have not had any issues at the vet. When we have company she gets excited until she visits everybody but then will lay down and relax. Her right ear doen not stand due to a hematoma being surgically removes. Since then she has had no issues with her ears. She is up to date with her shots and is microchipped. Our daughter got her in 2014 but moved to ab apartment and could not take her. My ex-wife then took responsibility for her but then the ex-wife left as well. So I took over the care of Maggie. Since then we have cared for her, but recently have been burdened with health issues. My wife is fighting cancer and needing a lot of time for dr visits and such. I have been troubled knee issues and have been told that I will need a knee replacement very soon. We need to place Maggie immediately.

Story
Knox is a 1.5 year old German Shepherd. He is a very sweet boy, however he is very very hyper. He needs somewhere he can go and run around in a large yard. He comes from working lines, and unfortunately I do not have the means to provide for his needs (space, time). I picked him up from a friend hoping that I would be able to train him myself, but unfortunately he is just too hyper for me to be able to. He has not shown any aggression towards people, but he doesn’t seem to do well with other dogs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines.
